Which consequence resulted from the maize stalk lodging?

💡 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.
