English term or phrase: clipping or trimming

"A worker's average day also includes the task of clipping or trimming tobacco plants to ensure optimum health and growth. Cutting of damaged leaves takes place very frequently to ensure that only the best leaves make it into the final crop. A practice known as topping is also executed during the clipping done in the early season. Topping involves removing the flower from a tobacco plant so that it will devote its resources to growing large, full leaves instead of to reproduction. The lowest leaves of the plants are also sometimes removed by workers to make irrigation and fertilization easier."

Non si tratta della "cimatura" (topping) che è una fase successiva. Grazie:-)

monda/rimonda o pulitura

Explanation:
che cosa e da cosa si pulisce/fronda la pianta di tabacco è spiegato in seguito nel testo, che, mi pare, considera clip and trim come sinonimi.
