prose pacciamate

Hi,
I am translating a report about the effects of soil decontamination treatment and I am struggling with the meaning of 'prose pacciamate'.
It appears several times throughout the text:
Dati relativi alla coltivazione
sistema di allevamento – su prosa pacciamata 1
sistema di distribuzione adottato – iniezione a freddo nel terreno a profondità di 25-30 cm mediante impiego di un tiller portato da trattrice cingolata, dotato di due falcioni tra loro distanti 40 cm, accoppiato a pacciamatore in grado di costituire una prosa di 80 cm di larghezza.
....Durante l’effettuazione dei trattamenti sono state, pertanto, costituite prose pacciamate tra loro parallele e distanti non meno di 80 cm.
Thanks

mulched ridges
prosa = porca > ridge between two furrows
(source, Dizionario di Agricoltura, paper ed.)
pacciamare = mulching: the practice of spreading organic materials—such as straw, compost, or wood chips—over otherwise bare soil between and among crop plants. Mulching helps to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and build soil organic matter.

For the synonymity of 'prosa' and 'porca', here's another (indirect) reference from the Wörterbuch der Landwirtschaft (sorry, hard copy only):
aratura a prose/porche: ridging

mulched furrow
prosa=porca, furrow in english, i think...

Mr Murray (X)
: I think 'furrow' would be a depression, but instead, this machine leaves a mound/row of mulch

yes, but mulched furrow is something else, it must be furrow before mulching, i think.

: A furrow goes down, a ridge goes up... It is NOT a mound OF mulch, it is covered in mulch. Maurizio

I would say mulching techniques but, again, I don't spend much of my time on gardens or agricultural sites...
yet, after some search, I've found out that pacciamate comes pacciamatura (mulching).
so, check the italian wikipedia
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacciamatura (and you have the english version too)
then http://www.google.it/search?q=mulching technique&ie=utf-8&oe...
hope it helps...

Windrow
I'm still so amazed how 'prose' was connected to 'ridges.' Anyhow, I think even in this case - the ridges should be called 'windrows.' I haven't found a translation back to Italian of 'windrow' - so 'prose' seems reasonable.
windrow n. (plural windrows) a row of cut grain or hay allowed to dry in a field; a line of leaves etc heaped up by the wind
[source Wiktionary online]

Andana is a likley translation from English to Italian for 'windrow.'

BdiL
: In Italian you never say andana when you form a ridge of soil. Andana is typically made up of hay or grass or straw. You also have the verb *andanare* for heaping up in windrows. Think to a *voltafieno andanatore" for instance.
