A monofilament for mowing characterized by being produced by spinning a resin composition, said resin composition comprising 70-97 parts by weight of a polylactic acid resin (A) and 30-3 parts by weight of an adipate plasticizer (B), each relative to 100 parts by weight of the sum of the polylactic acid resin (A) and the adipate plasticizer (B). Thus, the monofilament for mowing, which is biodegradable, shows an excellent mowing performance and has a high breakage resistance and high abrasion resistance, is provided.
