Describe the environmental conditions that may lead to low crop yields
- Poor soil fertility due to lack of manure and fertilizer application.
- Less rainfall/unreliable rainfall/too much rainfall.
- Poor soil type leads to water logging or excess leaching.
- Inappropriate pH/poor soil pH.
- Pest attack
- Poor weed control leads to competition.
- Too high or low temperature / inappropriate temperature.
- The excess wind increases evapotranspiration/lodging of crop/floral abortion.
- Inappropriate humidity, either too high or too low.
- Extreme light intensity may reduce photosynthesis/exhaustion of nutrients.
- Inappropriate topography may limit crop growth.
- Hailstorm damage.
