Le buttage de printemps a pour objet de provoquer sur la tige enfouie l'émission de nouvelles racines. Pour les pommes de terre, il évite aussi le verdissement des tubercules en les soustrayant à la lumière. Dans le cas des asperges, des céleris-branches, des poireaux, on pratique le buttage afin d'obtenir des parties comestibles de couleur blanche. (Le) buttage d'automne a pour objet de protéger la plante au moins dans une certaine mesure, des effets du gel. 3, record 2, French, - buttage
