Detailed explanation-1: -What Is Monoculture Farming? Monoculture farming is a form of agriculture that is based on growing only one type of a crop at one time on a specific field. In contrast, a polyculture system assumes that a field is sown with two or more crops at a time.
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: -A type of commercial farming in which a single crop is grown on a large area is called plantation farming.
Detailed explanation-4: -In monoculture practice, only one crop or plant species, variety, or breed is grown in a field at a time. It is widely used in industrial as well as organic farming and helps farmers go increase efficiency in raising the crop but at the same time it also increases the risk for diseases and pest attacks.
Detailed explanation-5: -Monoculture plantations cover large areas of agricultural land with a single crop. Typically, the plantations contain just one variety of said crop, with almost no variation.
