Abstract: Milpas are traditional Mesoamerican agroecosystems maintained with ancestral practices. Maize landraces are grown in polyculture, creating highly productive and diverse ecosystems. Recent studies suggest that milpas maintain beneficial plant-microbe interactions that are probably absent in… read more here.
