Temporal patterns in the evolution of maize agriculture: A geochronological perspective
Author(s): Grace Njoroge and Lucy Wanjiku
Abstract: Maize (
Zea mays) is one of the most significant crops in global agriculture, with a complex history of cultivation that spans thousands of years. This review explores the temporal patterns in the evolution of maize agriculture from a geochronological perspective. By synthesizing data from archaeological records, genetic studies, and historical agricultural reports, we trace the domestication, spread, and technological advancements in maize cultivation. The review highlights key periods of change, the influence of climatic and environmental factors, and the role of human innovation in shaping maize agriculture. Future directions for research and the implications for modern agricultural practices are also discussed.
