Le labour en billons, ou billonnage, réalise donc une série de bandes en dos d'âne, plus ou moins étroites (en général, moins de 3 m). [...] L'utilisation du labour en billons est réservés aux sols très humides dont on veut favoriser l'assainissement grâce aux nombreuses dérayures, qui jouent le rôle de rigoles. Le billonnage est, cependant, également mis en œuvre pour certaines cultures où une sorte de buttage des plants doit être ménagé (arbres, vignes, etc.). 2, record 1, French, - billonnage
