DEF

The heaping of soil around plants, to blanch vegetables, offer added stability for support of the roots, or protect plants from extreme cold.

OBS

Although "ridging" is sometimes used instead of "hilling" to protect plants from extreme cold or heat, it is a slightly different technique used especially to control irrigation water, drainage and runoff.

CONT

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.

CONT

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.
