Monoculture

Definition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoculture)

Monoculture is the agricultural practice of producing or growing a single crop or plant species over a wide area and for a large number of consecutive years. It is widely used in modern industrial agriculture and its implementation has allowed for large harvests from minimal labour. Monocultures can lead to the quicker spread of diseases, where a uniform crop is susceptible to a pathogen. (Wikipedia)
