← HistoryWhich outcome arises during intensive pre-Columbian maize cultivation without crop rotation?
A)Soil salinization from mineral leaching
B)Nitrogen depletion due to high consumption✓
C)Increased pest resistance to natural toxins
D)Waterlogging caused by excess irrigation
💡 Explanation
During intensive maize cultivation without rotation, nitrogen depletion occurs because maize is a heavy nitrogen feeder, continually extracting it from the soil. Therefore nitrogen depletion results, rather than salinization, pest resistance, or waterlogging, because of the plant's specific nutrient requirements.
