from
Wikipedia
Up until this point every additional unit has been adding more value to the total product than the previous one.
From this point onwards, every additional unit adds less to the total product compared to the previous one – MPP is decreasing.
From this point onwards, APP starts to reduce because every additional unit is adding less to APP than the average product.
But the total product is still increasing because every additional unit is still contributing positively.
Therefore, during this period, both, the average as well as marginal products, are decreasing, but the total product is still increasing.
At this point every additional unit starts to diminish the product of previous units, possibly by getting into their way.
