Question

Yield is measured as a crop produced on a given piece of land during _________.
A) Winter season
B) Rainy season
C) Single season
D) Summer season

Answer 1

Hint:
In terms of agriculture, the yield is agricultural productivity. It is a measurement of the amount of crop grown, or the other product such as meat, wool or milk, per unit area of the land.

Complete answer:
The production of yield is improved by innovations such as the use of fertilizer, new methods of farming, the creation of better farming tools and the improved crop varieties. If the yield is higher, the productivity and the profitability are also higher and there would be more intensive use of the farmland. This also increases the well-being of the families of the farmers. During a single season, the yield is measured as a crop produced on a given piece of land. Kilogram per hectare or bushels per acre are the units by which the yield of a crop is usually measured now – a – days. The surplus crops which are beyond the needs of the subsistence agriculture can be sold or bartered. The increase in the crop yields, in turn, leads to the formation and growth of the cities as few hands are needed on-farm, freeing them for the industry and commerce. There would also be an increase in the demand for foodstuffs or other agricultural products.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Note:
The seed ratio is not the same as yield. It is another way of calculating agricultural productivity. The seed ratio is the ratio between the investment in the seed and the yield. For each grain seeded if three grains are harvested, then the resulting seed ratio is $1:3$.
