Question

A farmer is growing corn and plants vining beans between the rows that will enrich the soil and use the corn plants as support. What is this an example of?

A. Monoculture
B. Polyculture
C. Succession
D. Crop rotation

Answer 1

The answer to this question would be: B. Polyculture

Polyculture is the practice to plant two or more different kind of crop in the field at same time. This method is better than monoculture that only plants one kind of crop. Polyculture needs more labor but it can increase the yield of the field and reduce the incidence of disease.
