Which limitation hampered large-scale chinampa cultivation in the Valley of Mexico despite its agricultural productivity?

💡 Explanation

Chinampa systems required constant manual labor for dredging canals, transporting mud, and planting crops because they lacked animal power and complex machinery, limiting the labor scaling efficiencies. Therefore labor requirement was the constraint, rather than rainfall dependence or salinization which were water management challenges present in alternatives.
