How do certain methods affect crop yield?

The methods used in crop farming can significantly affect crop yield. For instance, the type of crop variety planted, the amount and timing of fertilizer application, irrigation method, pest control measures and the timing of planting can all play a role in determining the yield of crops. When farming methods are properly employed, yields can increase, resulting in greater profits for farmers, and more food to feed the ever-growing population. In contrast, poor farming practices can lead to reduced crop yields, which can lead to decreased profitability and food insecurity.
