ʻO ka monoculture kahi wahi e ulu ai hoʻokahi wale nō mea kanu like. Hiki ke loaʻa iā lākou ma ka mahiʻai, ma ka nahele, a ma ka māla paha. ʻO ka huaʻōlelo "mono" mai ka Helene a ʻo ia hoʻi "hoʻokahi". ʻO ka huaʻōlelo "culture" mai ka Latin a ʻo ia hoʻi "ka mahiʻai". ʻO ka ʻokoʻa o ka monoculture he moʻomeheu hui.
Noho pinepine ka monoculture i nā mea kanu: ua mahi ʻia nā wahi nui me nā lāʻau pāma, kī, pulupulu, a i ʻole nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe o ia ʻano like. ʻO nā māla nui kahi e ulu ai ka maile, palaoa, rapeseed, sugar beets, a i ʻole nā mea kanu like ʻole e ulu ai he monocultures. I ka nahele, he spruce pinepine. I loko o nā kahu hānai, ʻo ia nā māla kāpeti, nā māla asparagus, nā māla kāloti, nā māla strawberry, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe he nui. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hana ʻana me nā mīkini i loko o ia mea ma mua o ka māla hui.
Huki mau nā Monocultures i ka mea kanu like mai ka lepo. No laila ke hoʻolele nei lākou i ka lepo. ʻAʻole lōʻihi kēlā. No laila ʻaʻole paʻa ka monoculture.
He kakaikahi loa na holoholona like ole e noho ana ma ka monoculture. No laila, haʻahaʻa ka ʻokoʻa o nā ʻano. ʻO ka pōʻino nui o ia monocultures hiki i nā pests ke hoʻohua maikaʻi loa. Eia nō naʻe, liʻiliʻi nā iniseti maikaʻi no ka mea nui lākou e hana hou ma nā pā a me nā mea kanu pua. Ke kapa nei mākou i ka nui o lākou he "weeds". No laila, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā lāʻau ʻawaʻawa i hoʻolele ʻia i nā māla. No laila ʻaʻole kūpono nā monocultures no ka mahi ʻana.
Akā aia kekahi ala ʻē aʻe: Ma kahi moʻomeheu hui ʻia, ulu nā ʻano mea kanu like ʻole ma kahi ʻaoʻao. Pono kēia inā haʻalele ʻoe i ka hui ʻana i ka manawa kūpono. Akā, hui pū ka poʻe mahiʻai akamai a i ʻole ka māla i ke ʻano i manaʻo ʻia. Aia nā mea kanu e hoʻokuke aku i nā pepeke ʻino me ko lākou ʻala. Pomaikai no hoi keia i na mea kanu pili. ʻAʻole ulu like nā haʻani ʻino i kēlā me kēia kaiapuni. Hāʻawi nā mea kanu kiʻekiʻe i ka malu no nā poʻe e pono ai. Mālama kēia i ka wai, ka mea hoʻomomona, a ma luna o nā mea a pau, nā ʻōpala.
Hoʻohana ʻia ka huaʻōlelo "monoculture" ma ke ʻano kiʻi. ʻO nā laʻana nā kūlanakauhale kahi hoʻokahi wale nō lālā o ka ʻoihana, no ka laʻana, ka hana moku, a i ʻole ʻoihana lole. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kapa aku i kahi hui he monoculture inā nā kāne wale nō a ʻaʻohe wahine e hana ma laila.
