Correct, these are papers on monocultures vs non monocultures. But GMOs are inclined to be grown in monocultures.


All crops are inclined to be grown in monocultures. That's because even if you'd get more yield pairing with other species — as in these studies — pragmatically the time and cost of sowing, harvesting and separating multiple species outweighs the theoretical yield gain per unit area of a monocrop.
