Pehaps I'm being a bit pedantic here but the rudder is used to control yaw not produce it. For instance you should use rudder in a turn to keep the aircraft balanced. You also use the rudder to control yaw during take off. There are occasions when you use the rudder to apply yaw in a controlled manner such as when sideslipping to reduce height or aligning the aircraft with the runway during a crosswind landing.
