Most of the worldwide food production is based on genetically homogeneous crop varieties, that is single-genotype varieties. However, the patterns observed in natural ecosystems suggest that higher levels of genetic diversity could increase agricultural sustainability. A straightforward method to increase diversity in agrosystems is to grow varietal mixtures. So far, the results accumulated on varietal mixtures are very contrasted and it remains difficult to predict mixture performance. The aim of the thesis is to better understand the relationship between genetic diversity and agronomic performance in light of ecological and evolutionary theories. We combine experimental and theoretical approaches, using rice (Oryza sativa) and durum wheat...
