Which crop can deplete maximum micro-nutrients from soil?

A.
Rice
B.
Maize
Answer
C.
Wheat
D.
Cowpea

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Maize is a crop that can deplete maximum micro-nutrients from the soil.
Soil nutrient depletion can be attributed to insufficient fertilizer use, unbalanced fertilization, and nutrient depletion-induced soil fertility problems.
Growing corn uses a lot of water and fertilizer, especially nitrogen and phosphorus and some of these production techniques, are coupled with the effects of climate change.
