dc.description.abstractThe present study entitled “Studies on effect of growing media on seed germination and seedling growth of papaya (Carica papaya L.)” was carried out at experimental orchard of Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during the rainy season of 2015. Different growing media combinations comprising of sand, garden soil, sand + garden soil (1:1), sand + vermicompost (2:1), sand + FYM (1:1), garden soil + vermicompost (2:1), garden soil + FYM (1:1) with and without cocopeat were prepared and filled in polyethylene bags. The experiment comprising of fourteen treatments was carried out in completely randomized (factorial) with three replications under two growing conditions viz. polyhouse and open conditions during rainy season. Five representative plants were randomly selected from each replication to record data on the various parameters. It was observed that garden soil + vermicompost (2:1) + 2 cm top layer of cocopeat gave minimum days for germination, highest rate of emergence, germination, germination index and maximum number of leaves, stem girth, seedling height, root length, root fresh weight, shoot fresh weight and plant fresh weight under open field condition. Highest survival and minimum days to transplanting were also observed in soil + vermicompost (2:1) + 2 cm top layer of cocopeat under open field conditions. The interaction between growing media and growing conditions was found nonsignificant.en_US
