Answer to Question 1

1 . Machinery specialized for the crop can be used to maximize efficiency of crop planting and harvest.
2 . Chemicals such as herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides can be used to target specific weed, insect, and microbial pests of the monocrop.
3 . Fertilizer systems can be developed to meet the nutrient needs of the crop by applying the nutrients at specific developmental stages.
