Harvesting is the process of gathering a ripe crop from the fields. Reaping is the cutting of grain or pulse for harvest, typically using a scythe, sickle, or reaper. On smaller farms with minimal mechanization, harvesting is the most labor-intensive activity of the growing season.
the crops in India are divided into three types; Rabi, Kharif and Zaid.
Salvage Harvesting
VicForests undertakes Salvage operations after large fire events in areas available for timber harvesting in order to recover timber from fire-killed trees.
We will prioritise fire-killed areas for harvest soon after the fire event to ensure this timber can be utilised before the wood quality deteriorates.
Single-tree Selection Harvesting
Single tree selection is a low intensity method of harvesting where individual or small groups of trees are selected and removed within an area planned for timber harvesting.
Regrowth Retention Harvesting
Regrowth Retention Harvesting is the newest harvesting method to be adopted by VicForests for Ash forest types and it works by retaining additional areas to provide habitat for native animals.
Clearfell Harvesting
Clearfelling has been the most commonly employed harvesting method in Ash forests since the 1960s.
This method of harvesting removes the majority of the trees at the site to access the available timber.
