Question

Crop plants grown in monoculture are

low in yield

free from intraspecific competition

characterised by poor root system

highly prone to pests

Solution

highly prone to pests

Monoculture involves the exclusive cultivation of a single crop over wide areas. It is an efficient way to use certain kinds of soils but the crop plants grown in monoculture are highly prone to pests and thus, it carries the risk of an entire crop being destroyed with the appearance of a single pest species or disease.
