crop yield
crop yield
Noun
pl: crop yields
This term is primarily used in agricultural, economic, and environmental contexts to quantify productivity. It carries a technical tone and is typically used when discussing efficiency, food security, or the impact of farming techniques and weather patterns on production.
While "yield" alone can refer to any output (such as financial interest), the addition of "crop" specifies the biological harvest. It is often paired with adjectives like "bumper" to describe an unusually large harvest or "meager" to describe a poor one.
