pailles
Explanation:
I would translate this as "pailles". It's the stubble / waste / plant residue / the part of the plant that remains in the ground after harvest. One option. HTH.

Apparently there\'s more than one French term that can be used here. Not surprising, considering that even English has straw / stubble / waste / residue / fodder for what your term can be understood to mean and French is frequently more precise than English. Essentially the same as far as i can tell. Take your pick.
