Yield in science, mathematics, and engineering:
- Semiconductor fabrication yield, the proportion of devices produced which function correctly

- Yield (engineering)
The yield strength or yield point of a material is defined in engineering and materials science as the stress at which a material begins to deform plastically. Prior to the yield point the material will deform elastically and will return to its original shape when the applied stress is removed...
, the change from elastic deformation to permanent plastic deformation of a structure
- Yield strength, an engineering term for the amount of stress that a material can undergo before plastic deformation
- Specific yield, a ratio used to evaluate the groundwater production from an aquifer
Yield in agriculture and food production:
- Crop yield
In agriculture, crop yield is not only a measure of the yield of cereal per unit area of land under cultivation, it is also the seed generation of the plant itself, i.e. one grain of wheat produces a stalk yielding three grain, or 1:3...
, a measure of the output per unit area of land under cultivation
- Maximum sustainable yield
In population ecology and economics, maximum sustainable yield or MSY is, theoretically, the largest yield that can be taken from a species' stock over an indefinite period...
, the largest yield/catch that can be taken from a species' stock over an indefinite period
- Yield Class, an expression of the productivity of a stand of timber.
- Wool Yield, refers to the amount of clean wool present in a greasy lot and is objectively measured.
- Specific yield, a ratio used to evaluate the groundwater production from an aquifer
Yield in business and finance:
- Yield (finance)
In finance, the term yield describes the amount in cash that returns to the owners of a security. Normally it does not include the price variations, at the difference of the total return...
, a rate of return based on what the holder earns with direct incomes on a financial instrument or security
- Dividend yield
The dividend yield or the dividend-price ratio on a company stock is the company's annual dividend payments divided by its market cap, or the dividend per share divided by the price per share. It is often expressed as a percentage. Its reciprocal is the Price/Dividend ratio.-Preferred share...
, the current or yield to maturity of common or preferred share dividends
- Yield (aviation), the revenue an airline makes on each passenger for every kilometer/mile travelled
Yield in computing and information science:
- in computer science, a point of return (and re-entry) of a coroutine
In computer science, coroutines are program components that generalize subroutines to allow multiple entry points for suspending and resuming execution at certain locations...
- Terminal yield
In formal language theory, the terminal yield of a tree is the sequence of leaves encountered in an ordered walk of the tree....
, in formal language theory is the sequence of leaves encountered in an ordered walk of a tree structure
Yield may also mean:
- Yield (education), the percentage of prospective students offered admission to an educational institution that actually enroll at that school
- Yield sign
In road transport, a YIELD or GIVE WAY traffic sign indicates that a vehicle driver must slow down and prepare to stop if necessary — usually while merging into traffic on another road — but needn't stop if the way is clear. A driver who stops has yielded his right of way to another...
