One word in Latin was ‘messis’. This came from the word for ‘to reap’, which had aform meaning ‘things reaped’ which by extension came to mean ‘harvest’. The word ‘autumnus’ was also used for harvest – it could mean either the season or the harvest itself.
Fructus autumni = Fruits of the harvest
Messis bona = Good harvest
Messis alibilis = Nourishing harvest
Messis fortis = Strong harvest.
