uses of Maize
1. Maize is important for industrial purposes as well as animal feed in SSA, where it is directly used by the majority of the population as food, drinks, animal feeds and cooking energy.
2. Maize is processed into a variety of products, including starch, corn syrup, sweeteners, oil, beverages, glue, alcohol, and fuel ethanol.
3. Because maize seedlings have inadequate root and shoot systems, they must rely on nutrients stored in the caryopsis beneath the earth.
4. The seedling begins to capture more sunlight and manufacture its food as the leaves develop and the roots expand (photosynthesis).
