Describe the meaning of Continuous Cropping

Continuous Cropping or Monoculture

1.  The climate may favour one crop or a soil may be especially adapted to one crop.  

2.  Machinery and building  costs are probably lower thereby the profits may be greater.

3.  The grower may prefer a single crop and become specialist. Few people can become well enough informed to do an expert job of growing a large number of crops and also produce livestock. Monoculture demands greater skills including pest, soil erosion and soil fertility control.

4.  The grower may not wish to be fully occupied with farming the year around.
