Publisher's Synopsis
Throughout the existence of agriculture, one of the main issues of interest to farmers was the issue of increasing crop yield. What are the best ways to increase crop yield per acre? What are the factors that affect crop yield most? Recently, in view of the constant growth of the world's population, this issue is becoming more and more relevant. However, with the emergence of new challenges for agrarians, there are also new ways and technologies appearing that are called to respond to them. This is what this article is about: what growers can do for increasing crop yield on their farmlands and what new technologies can help farmers in this matter.
In this guide, we'll talk about the measures you can take to boost productivity and increase yield. This simple guide is split into five main sections:
- Choosing Seeds and Plants
- Polytunnel Design and Layout
- Soil and Fertility
- Water Management
- People, Workload and Movement
In these five sections, we'll focus narrowly on yield in terms only of the harvests we are able to achieve.
