Harvest worked when put in again (9)

I believe the answer is:

reapplied

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'put in again' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'harvest worked' is the wordplay.
'harvest' becomes 'reap' (synonyms).
'worked' becomes 'plied' (to ply is to work with a tool).
'reap'+'plied'='REAPPLIED'

'when' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for reapplied that I've seen is " Became candidate again".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
