	Grain storage techniques ... - Grain harvesting, threshing and cleaning - Technical alternatives
		Although harvesting and threshing are still frequently done by hand, their mechanization has begun to develop during recent years, especially where the crop is produced not for self-consumption but rather for commercial purpose.
		The first mechanized harvester to detach ears of maize from the standing stalks, the 'corn snapper', was built in North America in the middle of the 19th century.
		Specially designed for harvesting maize as grain, the corn-sheller was initially a cornhusker in which the husking mechanism was replaced by a threshing one (usually of the axial type).

	Modeling Population Growth: Harvesting
		Use the Population Simulator to generate trajectories to the logistic model with harvesting (and simultaneously display the solutions on the phase line).
		Furthermore, in many populations subject to harvesting, the harvesting is not applied uniformly to all of the population, but is restricted to adult (sexually mature) individuals, which could affect the birth rate.
		In an effort to lessen harvesting's effect on birthrate, sometimes the harvesting is biased towards harvesting more males than females, since a small number of males can be used to impregnate all of the mature females.

		If a harvester can work close to a shore unloading site, it is possible to minimize the time that the craft spends transporting cut plants and maximize the time spent harvesting.
		While aquatic plant harvesters collect the bulk of the vegetation they cut, there are fragments that are not collected (such as those generated by the knives and the paddlewheels).
		Harvesting system performance is in the 1 to 3 acre per day range, depending on the equipment mix and the shoreline access available.

	Harvesting for the control of Eurasian watermilfoil
		Harvesting immediately removes surfacing milfoil mats, but since the cut plants grow back (sometimes within weeks), the same area may need to be harvested twice or more per growing season.
		Harvesting is not recommended in waterbodies with early infestations of milfoil since the resulting fragments are never completely contained and harvesting may increase the spread of milfoil throughout the waterbody.
		Because harvesters are large machines and are difficult to maneuver near-shore between and around docks, in at least one harvesting program (Long Lake, Thurston County), harvesting was limited to areas outside of the docks.

	Mechanical Harvesting - An Aquatic Plant Management Method
		Harvesting is usually performed in late spring, summer, and early fall when aquatic plants have reached or are close to the water's surface.
		Harvesting as aquatic plants are dying back for the winter can remove organic material and help slow the sedimentation rate in a waterbody.
		Harvesting is similar to mowing a lawn; the plant grows back and may need to be harvested several times during the growing season.

	Brambles - Production Management and Marketing, Bulletin 782-99, Chapter 3 Selection and Care of Plants
		Harvest frequency varies with weather conditions and with the progression through each cultivar's ripening season.
		The first few harvests may be conducted as much as three to five days apart and require as few as five pickers; peak harvests should be conducted at one- or two-day intervals and may require as many as eight or 10 pickers per acre.
		Experienced pickers generally harvest about 10 pounds per hour, while less effective workers may harvest as few as six to seven pounds, and the best workers may harvest more than 14 pounds of fruit per hour throughout the six-hour work day.

	Environment Agency - Rainwater Harvesting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Rainwater Harvesting is the collection of water that would otherwise have gone down the drainage system, into the ground or been lost to the atmosphere through evaporation.
		There are a number of different rainwater harvesting systems available, but a typical example would be rain collected from the roof travelling via a drainpipe into a storage tank (usually underground) once the leaves and debris have been filtered out.
		Suppliers of rainwater harvesting systems currently claim savings of over 14% of water used by the average household, but due to the relatively low cost of mains water in England and Wales the payback time may be quite lengthy.

	Harvesting Hemp
		Harvesting hemp is presently the most problematic and least understood part of hemp cultivation.
		Harvesting hemp seed usually occurs in early October when the plant is roughly sixteen weeks old and when the flowers are ripe and full of seeds.
		This step is essentially identical to the harvest of all fiber-hemp plants with the stems being cut, possibly trimmed, and pressed into bales after retting and drying.

	Harvesting Gloves
		This was the case with the "harvesting gloves".
		Previous to our discovery of this glove the only thing that was available to the harvester was a cotton glove which typically lasted only about four days and would constantly absorb water.
		Now we have found that the harvesters are bringing the gloves home to use in their gardens.

	SECTION 1
		Harvesting is often done in a short amount of time, requires the operator's attention in several areas, and uses machinery that has many moving parts, some of which are difficult to shield.
		Harvester and wagon combinations can cause rollovers if sharp turns are made when going downhill or at highway speeds, especially if the wagon is loaded.
		Harvester stability is very dependent upon the header and grain tank.

	Harvesting Rainwater for Landscape Use
		Coupled with the use of native and desert-adapted plants, rainwater harvesting is an effective water conservation tool because it provides "free" water that is not from the municipal supply.
		If you are harvesting rainwater from the roof, extend downspouts to reach planted areas or provide a path, drainage, or hose to move the water where it is needed.
		Water harvesting cannot provide a completely dependable source of irrigation water because it is dependent on the weather, and weather is not dependable.

	Start Now to Design Citrus Groves for Mechanical Harvesting
		These high-headed trees are suited to accommodate mechanical harvesting by having higher tree skirts as well as providing greater trunk length to allow for trunk shaker attachment as well as having additional horticultural and practical advantages in the grove.
		The important point to consider is that not all groves may be good candidates for mechanical harvesting and the first criteria should be to determine where mechanical harvesting may be utilized to obtain maximum harvesting efficiency.
		Groves determined not to be candidates for mechanical harvesting will have to be hand harvested until a decision is made to remove the grove and replant with an architecture that maximizes mechanical harvesting efficiency.
