| What characteristic contributes to maize being considered a versatile crop? | wider adaptability to varied agro-climatic conditions | Maize (Zea mays L.) is the third most important cereal crop in India after rice and wheat. It is the most versatile crop with wider adaptability to varied agro-climatic conditions and has highest genetic yield potential among cereals. Maize originated in Mexico and Central America and belongs to the tribe Maydae of the family Poaceae. Various studies reveal that maize crop was a significant crop in Mexico about 5000 years ago. Maize, known as queen of cereals, also called corn is the only grain crop with many types like normal yellow/white grain, sweet corn, baby corn, popcorn, quality protein maize (QPM), waxy corn, high amylase corn, high oil corn, fodder maize, etc. | 126 | definition | 1.000 | It is the most versatile crop with wider adaptability to varied agro-climatic conditions and has highest genetic yield potential among cereals. | 25 | page=25,block=9 | 0.700 | valid |
