Explanation
Monoculture describes systems that have very low diversity. Monoculture is the destruction of a diverse ecosystem and replacement with a single species or crop. It depletes the soil, fruits and vegetables become more susceptible to pests and more diseases than those grown in a diverse crop environment, thus requiring larger amount of chemical spray.
