This approach of "putting all your eggs in one basket" raises the stakes of success or failure, encouraging farmers to use excessive amounts of chemical fertilizer and pesticide to minimize risk. For example, even when each hectare of cornfield can only absorb 110 kilos of chemical fertilizer, farmers will throw costs to the wind and apply 220 kilos.
這種「把所有雞蛋放在一個籃子裡」的作法，增加了收成風險，逼得農民以大量施肥、施藥來避險，例如在每公頃可吸收 110 公斤化肥的玉米田中，不惜成本地施放 220 公斤。
