Hum…

Monoculture is either the same crop on a field every time, or the same crop is a very large area. A single crop in a field for one season only is crop rotation, something that is absolutely not monoculture.

I believe there may be a language barrier at play here.

“In agriculture, monoculture is the practice of growing one crop species in a field at a time.”, says the English Wikipedia [1].

German Wikipedia, on the other hand, says

Als Monokultur […] werden […] Flächen bezeichnet, auf denen ausschließlich eine einzige Nutzpflanzenart über mehrere Jahre hintereinander angepflanzt wird […] Wenn auf einem Feld in einer Anbauperiode ausschließlich Nutzpflanzen einer Art angepflanzt werden, handelt es sich um eine Reinkultur, nicht um eine Monokultur.

Monoculture are fields on which a single crop is planted for multiple years at a time […] If a field contains a single type of crop in a single growing season, it is called a pure culture, not a monoculture.

Monoculture is either the same crop on a field every time,

Incorrect. Crop rotation is still monoculture. Dynamic cycling is still monoculture. It only stops being monoculture when you plant and harvest more crops at the same time.
