Harvesting
Harvesting is the method of collecting a ripe crop from the fields. It is carried out as soon as the plant attains average maturity concerning the useful requirement of seed, rhizomes, bulbs, tubers, stems, leaves, stalk or others with minimum losses.

- The term harvesting also generally includes the immediate post-harvest practices such as threshing and winnowing.
- Threshing is the methodology of loosening the grains from the chaff after the crops are harvested. It can be done by hand or by using a machine to segregate all the grain seeds.
- Winnowing is the methodology of segregation of grain seeds from the chaff using the help of the wind. Due to the wind, the lighter husks flies away, and the heavier grains fall.
