← HistoryWhich consequence resulted from the maize stalk lodging?
A)Increased nitrogen fertilizer requirements
B)Vulnerability worsened during El Niño✓
C)Decreased soil microorganism diversity
D)Reduced chinampa hydraulic flow
💡 Explanation
Increased stalk lodging due to less silicification created maize with decreased resistance to wind because the silicification process strengthens cell walls. Therefore, lodging became more severe during El Niño-driven torrential downpours rather than only mechanical stress, given increased wind and rainfall.
