Mishnah 1א׳

הַתְּרוּמָה, וּתְרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר שֶׁל דְּמַאי, הַחַלָּה וְהַבִּכּוּרִים, עוֹלִים בְּאֶחָד וּמֵאָה, וּמִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה, וְצָרִיךְ לְהָרִים. הָעָרְלָה וְכִלְאֵי הַכֶּרֶם, עוֹלִים בְּאֶחָד וּמָאתַיִם, וּמִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה, וְאֵין צָרִיךְ לְהָרִים. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אֵינָן מִצְטָרְפִין. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, מִצְטָרְפִין בְּנוֹתֵן טַעַם, אֲבָל לֹא לֶאֱסֹר:

Terumah [a portion of a crop given to a Kohen, priest, pl. Kohanim, which becomes holy upon separation, and can only be consumed by Kohanim or their household] and Terumat Ma'aser [a tenth of the tithe given to a Levi, Levite, which must, in turn, be given to a Kohen and which becomes holy upon separation, and can only be consumed by Kohanim or their household] of Demai [produce from which it is uncertain whether tithes were already taken], Challah [a portion of a batch of bread dough given to a Kohen which becomes holy upon separation, and can only be consumed by Kohanim or their household] and Bikkurim [first-fruits that must be brought to the Temple in Jerusalem and given to the Kohen] are nullified in one hundred and one parts, and they are mixed together and require elevation. Orlah [the fruit of a tree during the first three years after its planting, the consumption or usage of which is forbidden] and Kilayim [the product of forbidden crossbreeding] of the vineyard are nullified in two hundred and one parts, and they are mixed together, and they do not require elevation. Rabbi Shimon says, they are not mixed together. Rabbi Eliezer says, they are mixed with the giver of flavor, but not to forbid.

Mishnah 2ב׳

הַתְּרוּמָה מַעֲלָה אֶת הָעָרְלָה, וְהָעָרְלָה אֶת הַתְּרוּמָה. כֵּיצַד, סְאָה תְרוּמָה שֶׁנָּפְלָה לְמֵאָה, וְאַחַר כָּךְ נָפְלוּ שְׁלֹשָׁה קַבִּין עָרְלָה, אוֹ שְׁלֹשָׁה קַבִּין כִּלְאֵי הַכֶּרֶם, זוֹ הִיא שֶׁהַתְּרוּמָה מַעֲלָה אֶת הָעָרְלָה וְהָעָרְלָה אֶת הַתְּרוּמָה:

Terumah can [add volume to achieve the minimum to] neutralize Orlah, and Orlah can [add volume to achieve the minimum to] neutralize Terumah. How so? A Se'ah [a specific unit of volume] of Terumah which fell into one hundred [Se’ah of normal foodstuff], and afterwards three Kavin of Orlah or three Kavin of mixed seed in the vineyard fell in; this is [an instance] where Terumah can neutralize Orlah, and Orlah can neutralize Terumah.
