History

Which outcome occurred when early Mesoamerican civilizations intercropped maize with beans and squash?

A)Reduced soil erosion by wind
B)Decreased nutrient depletion in soil
C)Increased susceptibility to fungal blight
D)Diminished water retention during drought

💡 Explanation

When maize was intercropped with beans and squash, synergistic nutrient cycling occurred due to nitrogen fixation from beans and efficient nutrient uptake overlap, minimizing depletion. Therefore decreased nutrient depletion resulted, rather than erosion reduction, increased blight, or diminishing retention that require independent mechanisms or conditions.
