Spanish to English Other Agriculture
Last item from the previous two questions. This is in a chart of costs involved in fruit production. It's in a separate column headed "unit" and for all the other terms in this column it says "day labourer" (except next to Despunte we have "Kg/Lts")

The full list is: watering, pruning, digging, spreading, crop spraying, Despunte, Deshierve, harvest, selection, transit, temporary storage

David: please clarify what is giving you a problem. A suggestion would be to use *** (term/word/phrase) *** to highlight the problem term.
Taña Dalglish Feb 23, 2008:
Sorry, this may appear to be a dumb question, but what is the term you require? Heading is Qq and you quote "in a separate column headed "unit" and for all the other terms in this column it says "day labourer" (except next to Despunte we have "Kg/Lts")"
