“…This implantation routine remains a questionable practice because it increases production costs and often stunts plant development [4,5]. However, in previous works we have found that transplanted and direct-seeded plants show similar plant yields [6]. We have also suggested the use of transplant as a tool to improve sweet maize productivity [7], in agreement with El-Hamed et al [8] who have suggested that the feasibility of enhanced sweet corn seed propagation through transplanting and seed priming can improve emergence and field stand.…”

Aims:Little is known about the response of sweet maize to particular short-and long-term stresses such as the root restriction imposed by small plug cell trays when a transplant routine is used. The aim of this work was to describe the effect of a transplant routine on the physiological components of yield in two sweet maize mutants by means of experiments conducted in a marginal maize production area. Study Design: Two maize mutant hybrids: 'Canner' (su1) and 'Butter Sweet' (sh2) were sown in plastic plug trays (128 cells tray -1 ) and transplanted 15 days after emergence or direct seed. Place and Duration of Study: Experiment was conducted at the INTA Balcarce Experimental Station, Argentina (37º45′ S, 58º 18′ W) during the 2009-2010 and repeated twice during 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 growing seasons. Methodology: Plants from direct-seeded or transplant were grown under a field environment. A randomized complete factorial design with three blocks was used. Results: Results showed that transplanted plants showed increased light interception, harvest index, and yield per unit area than direct-seeded ones. These responses were related to a change in leaf area development, crop architecture and anatomical traits such as the phloem/xylem ratio and vascular bundle/mesophyll ratio. Conclusion: A change in leaf area development and crop architecture when using transplanted plants allow increasing sweet maize yield on an area basis. To understand

“…In the study of Welbaum et al [5], seminal roots which were present in the embryo were broken during transplanting. Although the inability of corn roots to regenerate after transplanting resulted in stunted plants, the use of plastic plug trays instead of polystyrene plug tray gave the same height growth pattern [6].…”

“…Sweet maize mutants hybrids Canner (su1), Butter Sweet (sh2) and Cheyenne (se1) were sown in spring and summer by direct seeded or in plastic plug trays (128 cells tray -1 ) for transplant. Present results suggest that it was possible to obtain similar or higher yield from sweet corn maize mutant plants using a transplant method than direct-seeded under optimal environments (Rattin et al, 2006).…”

A field experiment on "Response of Sweet corn hybrid to establishment methods and weed management practices under temperate conditions" was conducted at research farm of Faculty of Agriculture (SKUAST-K) kharif during 2017. The treatments comprised of three establishment methods (Transplanting polypot (TP),Transplanting nursery (TN) and Direct Seeding (DS) and six weed management practices (Atrazine @ 1.5 kg a.i. ha -1 as pre emergence + hand weeding and intercultivation at 30 days after sowing (W1), Pendimethalin @ 1.0kg a.i. ha -1 as pre emergence + hand weeding and intercultivation at 30 days after sowing DAS (W2), Pendimethalin @ 1.0 kg a.i. ha -1 pre emergence + Sulfosulfuran 60 g a.i. ha -1 as post emergence at 30 DAS (W3), Atrazine @ 1.5 kg a.i. ha -1 as pre emergence +Tumbotrione 120 g a.i. ha -1 as post emergence at 30 DAS (W4), Weed free (W5), Weedy check(W6) laid out in RCBD with three replications. Sweet corn variety Sugar-75 of Syngenta was used as the test variety. The seedling parameters were significantly superior in transplanting polyplot sown in green house. All the growth parameters (viz. plant height, dry matter production, leaf area index), days to tasseling, days to silking and yield parameters viz. number of cobs plant-1, number of grains cob -1 , green cob yield and stover yield and harvest index) were observed to be significantly higher in transplanting polyplot. The plant height, leaf area index, dry matter accumulation and number of leaves were observed to be significantly higher in treatment of atrazine @ 1.5 kg a.i. ha -1 as pre emergence + tembotrione 120 g a.i. ha -1 as post emergence at 30 DAS (W4). Yield parameters viz., green cob yield and green fodder yield increased significantly in treatment of atrazine @ 1.5 kg a.i. ha -1 as pre emergence + tembotrione 120 g a.i. ha -1 as post emergence at 30 DAS (W4). It can concluded that under existing conditions transplanted polypot in combination with application of atrazine @ 1.5 kg a.i. ha -1 (pre-emergence) + tembotrione @ 120 g a.i. ha -1 (post-emergence) (TPW4) showed highest benefit cost ratio of 7.97 and proved superior for realizing higher yield and profitability of sweet corn under temperate conditions.

“…Transplanted crop produced about 15.44% higher grain yield than that of direct seeding (Badran, 2001) and also compensate the yield losses due to delayed sowing (Hajong, 2017). Rattin et al, (2006) also suggested that similar or highest yield from sweet maize mutant plant can be obtained using a transplanting technique with respect to direct seeded method under optimal environmental conditions. Sánchez et al, (2014) opined that there was no significant yield difference between direct seeded and transplanted maize.…”

Transplanting is the technique of moving of a plant from one location to another. This strategy is commonly practiced to establish crops when conditions are less favourable for direct seeding. Birds and squirrels damage to seedlings of maize is a serious problem resulting in poor crop stand and low yield. Delayed germination and plant growth receives a major setback due to late sowing of maize which reduces grain yield; however, reduction of yield can be compensated by transplantation technique. Transplanting of maize is a strategy that can be used to achieve optimum plant densities, better crop stand and obviously to get optimum yield. It reduces the nutrient requirement and also shortens the growth period of crop that helps farmers to harvest a third crop in intensive cropping system. Transplanted crop produces about 15.44% higher grain yield and can be harvested 10-12 days earlier that of direct seeding crop, so, late maturity high yielding cultivars can be fitted in to available growing season. Though, there are several advantages of transplanted maize, it is not popular in India due to lack of awareness, lacking in proper rational scientific technology and very little information about age of seedling and optimum dose of nutrient. Farmers can be benefitted if proper technology regarding age of seedling, process of transplanting and other cultivation techniques of raising transplanted maize is supplied to them.
