Monocropping

Monocropping is an agricultural practice where a single crop species is grown in the same field year after year. This method is often used in large-scale farming operations due to its efficiency and the ease of mechanization, but it can lead to increased vulnerability to pests and diseases, depletion of soil nutrients, and reduced biodiversity. Monocropping primarily benefits large-scale farmers and agribusinesses seeking to maximize yield and streamline production processes.
