Generation

Harvest index is the ratio of the harvested part of a crop (like grain or fruit) to the total above-ground plant biomass at maturity. In simple terms, it tells you what fraction of the plant's total growth ended up as the useful product you actually want to harvest. For example, a wheat plant with a harvest index of 0.5 means that half of its total above-ground weight is grain, while the other half is stems and leaves. Plant breeders have dramatically increased harvest index over the decades, meaning modern crops put more of their energy into making food rather than just growing stalks.
