English Explanation

こうさく is the standard on'yomi. 耕 (コウ) means to cultivate or plow, and 作 (サク) means to make or grow. ほうさく misreads 耕, こうさくう adds an incorrect prolonged vowel, and こうさい misreads 作. This refers to the act of cultivating land for growing crops or farming, encompassing the processes of plowing, tilling, and planting.

日本語解説

こうさくは標準的な音読みです。耕は「たがやす」、作は「つくる」の意味。農地をたがやし、作物を育てることです。ほうさくは耕の誤読、こうさくうは不必要な長音、こうさいは作の誤読です。
