1. Desert land, meanwhile, produces smaller yields than the rich farmland lost to housing. 2. Chemical reactions which do not produce quantitative yields are sometimes called non-stoichiometric processes. 3. Better technologies will increase efficiency at production plants, and alternatives to corn, such as switch-grass, will eventually produce higher yields. 4. But commercial farmers have embraced them rapidly because they produce higher yields and, for now at least, reduce reliance on harsher chemicals. 5. Given half a chance, he produced remarkable yields from the soil. 6. GM soy and corn, some of which are engineered to resist pests, produce greater yields with fewer chemicals. 7. He said commercial farmers prefer the softneck because it is easier to grow, produces greater yields, is less labor intensive and lasts longer. 8. However, modern coffee plantations often grow coffee in the sun, which produces higher yields. 9. Major portions of its military and commercial infrastructure are operating at reduced levels and the agricultural system is producing lower yields each year. 10. Poor basic germ plasm will produce mediocre yields, with or without genetic enhancement. |
