in italian, in that form is currently just an adjective, and even a substantive in italian vulgar (in the sense of part of the talked language) from 1300, (Dante, Convivio) with the same meaning of the latin substantive, agricola, agriculturist; andreas is right, there was also a treatise -rerum agricola-, On Agriculture, written in latin, but this one i don't remember from which time period comes.
