From Seedling Tray: Firstly, water the maize seedlings lightly to ease the removal process. Then, gently push the bottom of the seedling tray to dislodge the young plants or use a pencil to lift them out from the soil. Always handle seedlings by their leaves to avoid damage.
From Pot: For potted maize, water them thoroughly before removing. Tip the pot sideways and gently tap it to release the plant and soil. Remember to handle the plant with care, holding it by the root ball, not the stalk or leaves.
From Field/ Ground: Water the row of maize to be transplanted. Insert a trowel or shovel into the soil at a distance from the base of the maize plant so as not to damage any roots. Pry upwards to lift the plant and then carefully remove it from the ground.
