Monoculture derived from the Greek word “μόνος / mónos” meaning  “alone, only, sole, single” and “Culture” borrowed from latin word “cultūra / cult / cultus” means 'cultivation', which refers to set of work performed on land. Monoculture Farming is simply a practice of planting one type of crop or raising one type of animal at a time on specific farmland. This system has pros and cons to be considered. Monoculture farming offers advantages such as simplified management, increased efficiency in planting, harvesting, and pest control, and higher yields due to optimized conditions for a single crop. Additionally, it can facilitate mechanization and streamline the use of agricultural inputs like fertilizers and irrigation systems. However, monoculture farming also comes with cons such as increased vulnerability to pests, diseases, and soil degradation, as well as reduced biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.

Growing one crop can improve an ability to determine possible problem and ease to address such thing. Expertise in specific crop helps to increase profits and reduce the production costs as no need to spend for hiring practitioners in this kinds of field.

Kasi possible kung ang capacity pala ng building mo ay kaya ang 10,000 heads of broiler and then you just raise only 8,000 heads, sayang pa din ang 2,000 heads na dapat ay magiging kita mo na. Just wise thinker, that’s why I wanna share this thing to those who are willing to put up a poultry farm.  Ito ang tamang sukat, kailangan at least 0.75 sq. ft to 1 sq. ft ang sukat na pag...
