1 hr confidence: corn-growing regions; maize-growing regions
Explanation:
Gli esempi sono entrambi americani, da riviste specializzate, ma in effetti, come dice desertfox, 'maize' è British English, mentre 'corn' è American English.
Forse in America 'maize' è un termine solo "tecnico"; 'corn' mi pare che sia più comune. Se lo usa l'Usda, va bene senz'altro.
Se scrivi per l'Inghilterra forse sarà meglio 'maize'.
Buon lavoro.
Example sentence(s):- Higher demand for corn, for biofuel as well as for animal feed and human food, has increased corn production in traditional corn-growing regions and elsewhere.
