Ears develop above a few of the leaves in the midsection of the plant, between the stem and leaf sheath, elongating by around 1⁄ 8in) per day, to a length of 18cm (7in) [51] with 60cm (24in) being the maximum alleged in the subspecies. [58] They are female inflorescences, tightly enveloped by several layers of ear leaves commonly called husks.

Stigmas from female maize flowers, popularly called corn silk, are sold as herbal supplements. [ citation needed] According to a genetic study by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), corn cultivation was introduced in South America from Mexico, in two great waves: the first, more than 6000 years ago, spread through the Andes. Evidence of cultivation in Peru has been found dating to about 6700 years ago. [18] The second wave, about 2000 years ago, through the lowlands of South America. [19]

The price of food is affected to a certain degree by the use of maize for biofuel production. The cost of transportation, production, and marketing are a large portion (80%) of the price of food in the United States. Higher energy costs affect these costs, especially transportation. The increase in food prices the consumer has been seeing is mainly due to the higher energy cost. The effect of biofuel production on other food crop prices is indirect. Use of maize for biofuel production increases the demand, and therefore price of maize. This, in turn, results in farm acreage being diverted from other food crops to maize production. This reduces the supply of the other food crops and increases their prices. [154] [155] Farm-based maize silage digester located near Neumünster in Germany, 2007.
