A monoculture ndi malo omwe chomera chimodzi chokha chimamera. Zitha kupezeka m'munda, m'nkhalango, kapena m'munda. Mawu akuti "mono" amachokera ku Greek ndipo amatanthauza "yekha". Mawu akuti "chikhalidwe" amachokera ku Chilatini ndipo amatanthauza "kulima". Chosiyana ndi monoculture ndi chikhalidwe chosakanikirana.
Monocultures nthawi zambiri amapezeka m'minda: madera akuluakulu amalimidwa ndi mitengo ya kanjedza, tiyi, thonje, kapena zomera zina zamtundu womwewo. Ngakhale minda ikuluikulu pomwe chimanga, tirigu, mbewu zodyera, shuga, kapena mbewu zofananira nazo zimamera zimatengedwa ngati zamtundu umodzi. M'nkhalango, nthawi zambiri ndi spruce. Mu nazale, nthawi zambiri ndi minda ya kabichi, minda ya katsitsumzukwa, minda ya karoti, minda ya sitiroberi, ndi zina zambiri. Ndikosavuta kugwira ntchito ndi makina momwemo kuposa m'munda wosakanikirana.
Monocultures nthawi zonse amakoka feteleza yemweyo kuchokera pansi. Choncho akutsetsereka nthaka. Zimenezo sizikhalitsa. Choncho, ulimi wa monoculture siwokhazikika.
Ndi nyama zochepa chabe zomwe zimakhala m'magulu amtundu umodzi. Choncho, mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya zamoyo ndi yochepa. Choyipa chachikulu cha mbewu zotere ndikuti tizirombo titha kuberekana bwino kwambiri. Komabe, pali tizilombo tothandiza ochepa chifukwa timachulukana m’mipanda ndi pa zomera zopanga maluwa. Timatchula ambiri a iwo kuti "namsongole". Choncho, ulimi wa monoculture umafunika ziphe zambiri zomwe zimapopera m'minda. Choncho, monocultures ndiyosayenera kulima organic.
Koma pali njira inanso: Mu chikhalidwe chosakanikirana, mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya zomera imamera moyandikana. Izi ndizothandiza ngati mutasiya kusakaniza mwangozi. Koma alimi aluso kapena olima dimba amasakanizana mwachindunji. Pali zomera zomwe zimathamangitsa tizilombo towononga ndi fungo lake. Izi zimapindulitsanso zomera zoyandikana nazo. Ngakhale mafangasi owopsa samakula bwino pamalo aliwonse. Zomera zazitali zimapereka mthunzi kwa ena omwe amafunikira kwambiri. Izi zimapulumutsa madzi, feteleza, ndipo koposa zonse, zopopera.
Mawu akuti "monoculture" amagwiritsidwanso ntchito mophiphiritsa. Zitsanzo ndi mizinda yomwe ili ndi nthambi imodzi yokha yamakampani, mwachitsanzo, yomanga zombo, kapena mafakitale a nsalu. Mukhozanso kutcha kampani kuti monoculture ngati amuna okha popanda akazi amagwira ntchito kumeneko.
