Science - Other / herbicide, crops
French term or phrase: forêt dégagement
Context is a label/information sheet for a herbicide. The product is intended for use on weeds infesting the following crops: beetroot, rapeseed, corn, sorghum, ***forêt dégagement***, textile flax, minor seed-bearing crops.
I am not at all sure what they mean by "forêt dégagement" in this sense. Can anyone suggest a likely translation? Many thanks

agree  Sarita Mardon: Probably good to specify 'weed' as this is the main purpose of this kind of product. eg http://arole.pagesperso-orange.fr/Fiches/Ftech/Ftech_Touchdo...

cleared woodland


Explanation:
Though the reference below is about forest clearance, that would not make sense in your context, so it would seem to be for weedkilling on areas already cleared and should probably have been hyphenated.

"Les millions de hectares de forêt ont été se sont dégagés au Bornéo pour la notation et l'établissement des plantations de paume à huile. Quelques critiques disent que le forêt-dégagement pour la paume à huile est souvent une apparence pour noter puisque les plantations de paume à huile reçoivent les allégements fiscaux spéciaux du gouvernement de l'Indonésie. "

"Au Rikbaktsa, la musique, les rituels, et la robe traditionnelle ont servi d'élément d'unification face au contact avec le monde extérieur. La chasse, la pêche, le rassemblement, et l'agriculture sont ritualized avec des cérémonies tout au long de l'année. Les deux plus grandes cérémonies sont la cérémonie verte de maïs de janvier et la cérémonie de forêt-dégagement<b/> de mai. "

"For the Rikbaktsa, music, rituals, and traditional dress have served as a unifying element in the face of contact with the outside world. Hunting, fishing, gathering, and agriculture are ritualized with ceremonies throughout the year. The two largest ceremonies are the January green maize ceremony and the May forest-clearing ceremony."
