The term "yield" can mean two things: to surrender or to produce/provide.
An example of the first is to "yield" to a foe on a battlefield, or a competitor.
An example of the second is that an acre of farmland may yield a certain amount of a farm crop, or a chemical reaction may yield a certain product.
This is confused somewhat by the idiomatic "give in" (surrender, agree) and "give up" which has been used for surrendering but also for provide, as in "the tomb gave up its secrets" or "surrendered its hidden meaning."
