English term or phrase: factor fo two to four

Production of predominantly irrigated crops rose by a factor of two to four, with more than two-thirds of the gain coming from yield increases.

Isto significa simplesmente "duplicou" ou é algum tipo de expressão matemática que eu não domino? Obrigada por qualquer ajuda!
