Science - Agriculture
Dutch term or phrase: mede
Ik ben bezig met de vertaling van een boek dat over de inpoldering van Vlanderen gaat. Hier wordt er gesproken over de landbouw in de gebied Land van Beveren:

Ten slotte werd ook +++mede+++ verbouwd. Deze driejarige plant met een complex wortelstelsel leverde in de meestoven een rode kleurstof op.

Als iemand de wetenschappelijke naam daarvan weet, of de Engelse vertaling, of misschien en wat gangbare synoniem, zou ie mij echt helpen.

Groetjes,
Maria
