Scie à main de petite dimension, réservée au sectionnement de lames de parquets.

CONT

La scie défonceuse est une scie à main particulière, de petite dimension (30 à 36 cm) : les deux rives de la lame sont munies de dents. De plus, le bout de la lame est pointu et le dos, qui est convexe à cet endroit, permet à l'ouvrier de commencer le trait de scie au milieu d'une pièce de bois. On utilise la scie défonceuse pour sectionner des lames de parquets, ayant déjà été posées, sans endommager les lames avoisinantes (lors de réparations de plomberie, p. ex.).

  • Harvesting Techniques
CONT

On Prince Edward Island two methods of lifting the crop from the ground are generally used.

OBS

lift : To harvest root crops and potatoes etc., digging them from the ground, either mechanically... or by hand, as distinct from harvesting by cutting.

OBS

Although, lifting is technically the equivalent of "arrachage", the term harvesting in combination with the verb to lift is more frequently used to render this concept.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques de récolte
DEF

Opération agricole qui consiste à extraire du sol, par une action en général assez énergétique, les parties végétales souterraines que l'on désire récolter (racines ou tubercules) ou que l'on désire ôter de la terre (souche ou racines d'arbres). En France, l'arrachage s'applique essentiellement aux betteraves, aux pommes de terre et, à une moindre échelle, aux carottes, aux endives, aux navets, aux oignons, etc. ainsi que, dans les bois ou les forêts, aux parties des arbres qui restent en terre après l'abattage. [...]

OBS

Dans le langage courant, on emploie parfois le mot arrachage pour désigner l'enlèvement des épis de mais par les becs cueilleurs, mais il convient plutôt de parler de récolte, de cueillette ou de ramassage.
