I want to ask about the increase in the percentage of something, but I am not sure what is the way to ask it in an interrogative way.

Can I say:

In how many percents does the yield increase if I water the trees every day?

    Please look up the word percent in a dictionary. If you visit Lexico or Collins you'll see a number of examples of how it is used.

There's no such thing as 'a percent' - the word means 'in every hundred'.

You used the word percentage in your first paragraph. You can say By what percentage does the yield increase?
