poco desarrollo de la siembra

Spanish to English Other Agriculture Text from the Canary Islands
El ciclo del cultivo cierra la cosecha con la siega en las primeras semanas del verano, hacia el mes de junio, donde se mantienen al sol para terminar de secar las simientes, en el lenguaje popular la sementera. Después se da traslado a las eras para la trilla y obtención del grano y la paja. Conviene reseñar que en suelos blandos y con poco desarrollo de la siembra se sigue utilizando sorprendentemente la técnica antigua de arrancar con las manos la cosecha, sin uso de herramientas.

(where) the yield is lower

Actually I think it means that the seeds germinate/develop less well and the crop is sparse

agree Helena Chavarria : I agree with you. In these areas, the crops are harvested by hand.

during the early stages of crop growth

I think it means this, that the crops are harvested by hand when grown in soft soil conditions and at the early stages of plant growth.
