Les plantes sarclées sont presque toujours en tête d'assolement. Elles remplacent les jachères d'autrefois, car elles exigent des apports d'engrais très importants et des façons culturales nombreuses, qui préparent la terre pour les cultures des céréales. [Elles] comprennent (en plus des céréales sarclées, comme le mais, les plantes "à racines") betterave, carotte, chou fourrager, etc., et les plantes à tubercules: pommes de terre et topinambours. 1, record 1, French, - plantes%20sarcl%C3%A9es
