Comment Section Modern crop breeding and seed certification agencies ignore the known spatial heterogeneity of soils and develop cultivars to thrive in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ soil environment. Neglecting the evolving dynamics of soils substantially undermines the capacity of new genotypes to deliver optimal yield and stress resilience, and requires urgent consideration in future plant breeding programmes.
