Process of preventing runoff and minimizing evaporation to the extent feasible, thereby retaining water as long as possible in order to maximize infiltration in the cropping area. (FAO, 2010. AQUASTAT Glossary)

Secondary tillage produces finer soil and sometimes shapes the rows, preparing the seed bed. It also provides weed control throughout the growing season during the maturation of the crop plants, unless such weed control is instead achieved with low-till or no-till methods involving herbicides. (Wikipedia. 2025. Tillage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillage)
Secondary nutrients are nutrients that slightly limit crop growth and are moderately required by plants. These nutrients are calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S). Secondary nutrients are as significant as primary nutrients in plants, but they are needed in smaller quantities. (Soil Health Nexus. 2023. Secondary Nutrients. https://soilhealthnexus.org/resources/soil-properties/soil-chemical-properties/secondary-nutrients/ Accessed 25 April 2023. )
Weeds of Cyperaceae family. Cyperaceae are commonly called sedges. Sedge weeds adversely affect agriculture and forest, urban, and natural areas throughout the world. (Adapfted from https://www.ars.usda.gov/ARSUserFiles/64022000/Posters/2005/2005_WSSA_CTB.pd)
Legal disease control includes all forms of legislation and regulation that might prevent establishment or reduce spread of disease, for example quarantine measures. (AGROVOC Team)

It is mostly used mixed with other waxes to harden them without raising their melting point. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candelilla_wax)
