Which outcome limited maize yields on terrace farms in the Andes?

💡 Explanation

Alkaline soil pH, developed from millennia of traditional aqueduct irrigation methods, caused trace element immobilization, reducing maize yields because maize plants require micronutrients like zinc and iron; therefore nutrient deficiency limited growth, rather than over fertilization or pollination issues.
