John and Molly Chester were living in a small apartment in Santa Monica when, suddenly, they had a problem. Their newly acquired dog, Todd, was barking eight hours a day. They tried everything to change his behavior but nothing worked. Neighbors complained and, finally, their landlord evicted them.

Monoculture, where a single crop or single variety of a crop is grown, often leads to insect pest and disease problems.
