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 1, French, - buttage

Aporcadura: tras plantar un esqueje se deja enraizar durante una estación completa. A la llegada del invierno se corta al ras el tallo dejando 2 ó 3 cm por encima del pie. De este modo en primavera se desarrollarán varios brotes que se aporcarán (cubrirán de tierra) cuando alcancen unos 15 cm. Los brotes se verán forzados a echar raíces. Una vez así se cortarán al ras del tocón y se sembrarán para propagarlos. 1, record 1, Spanish, - aporcadura
