Agriculture / agriculture | | English term or phrase: detassling | Detassling is the process of trudging down muddy corn rows in "pollenated" fields and pulling the tassels at the top out of the "male" corn to keep it from fertilizing the "female" corn, generally planted in alternating rows in most cornfields.
Does anyone know the German term for this process? Many thanks in advance!

Sounds like plant emasculation = Pflanzen entmannen
Although the Eurodictionary lists the following which fits exactly:
Definition: the removal of pollen-bearing flower parts or flowers to prevent either self-pollination or unwanted cross-pollination
