Definition
肥沃 (féi wò) is the standard adjective meaning 'fertile, rich' and is used specifically for soil or land. Unlike 肥 (féi) — which can also describe fertile soil but is broader and less formal (also 'fat', 'loose clothing') — 肥沃 unambiguously refers to nutrient-rich earth. Use 肥沃 when you want a precise, natural word for land fertility.
