The most likely outcome of low biodiversity in a farm field is:

A disease or animal pest spreads quickly through the plants in the field.

Low biodiversity means that there is a limited variety of plants, making the entire crop more susceptible to diseases and pests, as they can more easily spread through a homogeneous population.
