Related for Bikkurim 2:3

יֵשׁ בַּתְּרוּמָה וְבַמַּעֲשֵׂר מַה שֶּׁאֵין כֵּן בַּבִּכּוּרִים, שֶׁהַתְּרוּמָה וְהַמַּעֲשֵׂר אוֹסְרִין אֶת הַגֹּרֶן, וְיֵשׁ לָהֶם שִׁעוּר, וְנוֹהֲגִים בְּכָל הַפֵּרוֹת, בִּפְנֵי הַבַּיִת וְשֶׁלֹּא בִפְנֵי הַבַּיִת, וּבָאֲרִיסִין וּבֶחָכוֹרוֹת וּבַסִּקָּרִיקוֹן וּבַגַּזְלָן. הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ בַתְּרוּמָה וּבַמַּעֲשֵׂר, מַה שֶּׁאֵין כֵּן בַּבִּכּוּרִים:

Terumah and Ma’aser share [laws] that are lacking in Bikkurim: that Terumah and Ma’aser's threshing-floor remains are prohibited, and they have a specified amount to be given, and they are taken from all [species of] produce, [and their laws apply] both in Temple times and in post-Temple times and they are applied to produce of sharecroppers, renters, Sikrikonim [those who forced another to give up land at the threat of death], and thieves. All of the above is for Terumah and Ma’aser, but not for Bikkurim.

Tosefta Bikkurim

There is a stringency with Terumah (the priestly portion of produce) that there is not with second tithe (which is exchanged for money and brought to Jerusalem) or first fruits, and [a stringency] with second tithe that there is not with Terumah. [With respect to the stringency of Terumah], we may not take [Terumah] except out of a mass [of produce] in close proximity (המוקף), nor may we take it except from [produce that is in] a finished state, nor may we take it except from the pure on behalf of the impure, or the medumma (a forbidden mixture of Terumah and chullin), and we are liable on it for an extra fifth, and it applies to all [species of] produce, which is not the case with first fruits. And it applies to all the years [of the seven-year agricultural cycle other than the seventh year], all of which is not the case with second tithe [which only applies to the first, second, fourth, and fifth years].
