11. QUESTION
1. What are the
farming practices
that affect the
ecosystem?

12. QUESTION
2. How Monoculture
farming, use of
Insecticides, and use
of fertilizers will
affect the ecosystem?

13. Monoculture
This is the caring or
raising plants of a single
crop in large areas. Very
large of land are
converted to rice farms,
sugar farms, and coconut
farms.

14. Herbicides and Insecticides
Farmers spray their crops with
insecticides to kill insects, pests,
and with herbicides to kill
weeds. However, the chemicals
also destroy other organisms,
including beneficial insects and
soil organisms, which help in
decay.

15. Chemical Fertilizers
Monocrops usually require large
amounts of chemical fertilizers.
Continuous and uncontrolled use of
chemical fertilizers may increase soil
acidity, thus destroying soil
structure. Findings show that more
fertilizers are needed for the same
amount of produce after years of
monoculture.
