Farmers’ decisions on what to grow and why can contribute in understanding the conservation of agrobiodiversity.
Culture and ethnicity are indicated as first-class factors leading preservation of heirloom cultivars but this has been little considered in studies examining factors that influence the loss or preservation of agrobiodiversity.
We propose that corn’s ethnotaxa of less diverse uses, which are also key partners in local cultural reproduction, are usually cultivated by a few households.
We analyse if there is a relationship between uses and richness of cultivated ethnotaxa at household level and describe corn’s medicinal and ritual uses.
We found 25 cultivated ethnotaxa, heterogeneously distributed in the region, and we also found that ethnotaxa with less diverse uses are cultivated in fewer households.
We identified that, at regional scale, richness is related with food use diversity.
The most frequently cited medicinal uses were urinary and tract infections, diarrhoea, and liver disorders.
Medicinal recipes involve combinations with other elements.
Maize is an indispensable resource in the rituals that propitiate productive activity, to augur prosperity or misfortune according to signals.
We have identified the vulnerability in preserving the richness of corn in the region and the factors that shape its cultivation at different scales.
