A farmer harvests his crop and expresses his harvest in three different ways.

a. I have harvested 10 quintals of wheat.
b. I have harvested 10 quintals of wheat today in one acre of land.
c. I have harvested 10 quintals of wheat in one acre of land, 6 months after sowing.

Do the above statements mean the same thing? If your answer is yes, give reasons. And if your answer is no, explain the meaning of each expression.

Answers (1)

No, they do not mean the same thing.

  • The first statement implies only the quantity of biomass produced, but it does not comment on the duration and area in which it was produced.
  • The second statement implies the quantity and area, but it does not comment on the duration in which it was produced.
  • The third statement provides the quantity, area, and duration; and this information can be used to calculate primary productivity in the farm: in terms of biomass produced.
