Detailed explanation-1: -If, for example, a monoculture crop is grown on the same farmland year after year without change, it is considered as the worst form of this agricultural practice that has the biggest impact on the soil and the surrounding ecosystem. This agricultural method is also called “monocropping” or continuous monoculture.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monoculture/solely crop production farms are the farming types by which farmers grow only crops, both annual crops/trees and field crops, such as wheat, corn, rice, rapeseed, sugar cane, and cotton.

Detailed explanation-3: -In agriculture, monocropping is the practice of growing a single crop year after year on the same land. Maize, soybeans, and wheat are three common crops often monocropped.

Detailed explanation-4: -In agriculture, monoculture is the practice of growing one crop species in a field at a time. Monoculture is widely used in intensive farming and in organic farming: both a 1, 000-hectare/acre cornfield and a 10-ha/acre field of organic kale are monocultures.

Detailed explanation-5: -I’ll begin with a simple definition: monocropping is planting and growing one type of plant in the same place, year after year. It’s the type of planting that occurs under a type of agriculture called monoculture.
