On the occasion of this day of resistance, from Pallars Fustes we want to place special emphasis in these cases.<\/p>\n<p>Monocultures can be found especially in the crops of eucalyptus, pine, cereal plantations, soybeans, sugar cane, corn and a large number of crops to which we are very used to.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1632242888956{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]In this article we aim to discover both the advantages and disadvantages of monocultures, so that the reader can understand the demands that are made during September 21 and can have a reasoned opinion on the matter.[\/vc_column_text][mk_fancy_title size=&#8221;27&#8243; line_height=&#8221;120&#8243; font_weight=&#8221;bold&#8221; margin_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243; font_family=&#8221;none&#8221; responsive_align=&#8221;left&#8221;]\n<h6><strong>ADVANTAGES<\/strong><\/h6>\n[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1632243211168{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a very efficient method for large-scale production.

In other words, the soil suffers from nutrient depletion and in the long run can cause erosion.<\/li>\n<li>The aim is to achieve the greatest amount produced at the lowest cost and in the shortest possible time. Due to this fact, the natural diversity of forest is broken.<\/li>\n<li>As the diversity of crops is broken, there may be an increase in the spread of diseases and pests.<\/li>\n<li>Along with the lack of crop diversity, the habitat of many animals is also affected. In addition, chemical elements are used to kill the insects and pests they catch.<\/li>\n<li>In case of drought, the risk of having large potential losses is very high; farmers who use monoculture, have only one product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1632245994145{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]At Pallars Fustes, we are committed to a sustainable future that is respectful of its ecosystem.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5786&#8243; img_size=&#8221;800&#215;400&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1632246014364{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<a href=\"https:\/\/pallarsfustes.com\/contact\/?lang=en\">Contacti amb Pallars Fustes <\/a>per saber tot all\u00f2 que fem per aconseguir un planeta millor![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1622801706720{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h6>For more information call 872 029 065 or write to <a href=\"mailto:comercial@pallarsfustes.com\">comercial@pallarsfustes.com<\/a><\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1632244587089{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;] INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST TREE MONOCULTURE [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1632244426302{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]When we talk about monocultures, we refer to large plantations of just one species, which are irrigated with the same patterns and cultivation methods that reflect a true genetic similarity.
