The most likely outcome in a farm field with low biodiversity is: A disease or animal pest spreads quickly through the plants in the field.
Low biodiversity means that there are fewer different species of plants, which can make the entire crop more susceptible to diseases and pests that can easily spread among similar plants. In contrast, a diverse ecosystem would provide a natural resistance to such threats.
