← HistoryWhich outcome results when ancient chinampa farmers neglected the seasonal maize stalk "bending"?
A)Increased resistance to wind damage
B)Reduced reliance on soil nutrients
C)Localized increase in soil salinity
D)Greater susceptibility to fungal disease✓
💡 Explanation
Increased fungal disease results because the mechanism of stalk bending promotes airflow, reducing humidity around maize. Therefore fungal growth is limited, rather than allowing moisture build-up leading to crop loss under poor ventilation.
