rape

'oil and fodder' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'form of pear' is the wordplay.
'form of' is an anagram indicator (another form of the same letters).
'pear' is an anagram of 'RAPE'.

'yielding' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rape that I've seen before include "Yellow-flowered plant" , "old part of Sussex" , "Plant with yellow flowers cultivated for its oil seed" , "Vile sexual crime" , "Oil-producing crop" .)
