Cultivar mixtures a meta-analysis of the effect of intraspecific diversity on crop yield

Extensive research has shown that greater plant community diversity leads to higher levels of productivity and other ecosystem services, and such increased diversity has been suggested as a way to improve yield and agricultural sustainability. Increasing intraspecific diversity with cultivar mixture...
