Agriculture Glossary
Yield Components
Yield components are the factors that determine the final yield of a crop. For cereal grains, these components include grain weight, the number of grains per ear, and the number of plants per unit area.
Yield Evaluation
Yield evaluation involves estimating crop yield per hectare through systematic surveys. It includes harvesting, threshing, cleaning, and weighing samples from various sections of the field.
Yield Potential
Yield potential refers to the maximum production capacity of a crop under optimal conditions.
Yield Stability
Yield stability is the ability to maintain consistent crop yields over time. It is measured using various indices, such as the coefficient of variation and regression analysis between yield and environmental factors.
