Insects can damage the crop by biting off and eating parts, chewing on it, piercing and then sucking out sap, and by vectoring in disease.

Which insect affect the crop yield?

Insects affect crop yields in several ways.Many crops, especially fruit, are insect pollinated - particularly by bees. So if there were no insects there would be no crops.Insects can damage plants and kill them, or can eat the crops, which reduces the yield.Insects can still eat crops even after they have been harvested.However, the overall contribution of insects to crops is beneficial to humans.


Why does killing insects on crops increase crop yield?

the insects don't eat/ damage crops and it allows to kill insects carrying plant disease.


What is the study of crop production called?

The study of crop production is called agronomy. Agronomy involves understanding plant genetics, soil management, crop rotation, and other factors that affect crop growth and yield.


How does squash cross pollination occur and what impact does it have on the quality and yield of the crop?

Squash cross pollination happens when pollen from one squash plant is transferred to the female flower of another plant. This can occur naturally through insects or wind. Cross pollination can affect the quality and yield of the crop by leading to hybridization, which may result in changes in flavor, texture, or appearance of the squash. It can also reduce the yield if the resulting hybrid seeds are planted, as they may not produce the desired characteristics.


How can soil affect the soil?

poor soil means no. of voids more and soil does not hold nuritent the seepage loose more.it also affect crop yield


How does temperature affect the growth and yield of crops?

When annual temperatures increase sharply above the ideal crop temperature, it can cause a decrease in a crop's yield. Likewise, other factors like an increase in carbon dioxide levels can cause an increase in the growth of crops.


What is the difference between crop yield and crop production?

yield is per area, production is total (at least according to FAO)


How can poor soil affect the farmer?

Why are there more insects on crop plants than wild plants?

Would you need to use more insecticides in monoculture?

Insecticides are dependent on crop yield. Monocultures have a greater crop yield, and use less land to produce any amount of crop.
