Cultivating a higher number of crops simultaneously in a plot increased seed yield significantly, but less so than vegetative biomass. The reduced resource allocation to seeds in more diverse crop plant communities might be due to the domestication and breeding of crops for use in monocultures.

Crop diversity = higher yields!
New ETH Zürich study suggests why-- the changing soil microbial composition, highlighting potential beneficial role of soil microbial communities in intercropping systems.
