unprolific
Not highly productive
Unprolific means not producing much—whether creative work, offspring, or output generally.
The opposite of prolific: an unprolific writer who published only two novels in thirty years.
The word is uncommon; people more often say "not very prolific" or use alternatives like unproductive.
