Loweryielding is a term used to describe a process, crop, or resource that produces a smaller output than its potential or a comparable alternative. In agriculture, low-yielding crops might be due to poor soil quality, insufficient water, pests, diseases, or suboptimal growing conditions. This can lead to reduced harvests and economic losses for farmers. Efforts to improve yields in such cases often involve soil enrichment, improved irrigation techniques, pest and disease management, and the selection of more resilient crop varieties.
In the context of resources, a low-yielding mine or oil well would extract less valuable material than
