Abstract: This present investigation was carried out at the Horticulture Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture (MPUAT) Udaipur during the year 2014. In this experiment, papaya seeds were sown in to different growing media in polybags (C1) and protrays (C2) containers and study their response and intraction effect on germination of papaya seeds. Among the different containers, C2 (Protrays) took significantly minimum days (8.80) for initiation of germination as compared to C1 (polybags). Minimum days required for 50 per cent germination (10.81) of papaya seeds was observed in C2 (Protrays) as compared to polythene bags (11.67) and significantly the maximum germination percentage (90.15%) of papaya seeds was observed in C2 (Protrays) while, the minimum germination (86.96%) of papaya seeds was observed in C1 (Polybag). The interaction between media and container (M × C) was found significant combination with M7C2 i.e. Soil + FYM + Sand + Cocopeat + Vermicompost (1:1:1:1:1)) + Protrays took minimum days (8.37) for initiation of germination. While, the combination M1C1 i.e. Soil + FYM (1:1) + Polybags took maximum days (9.91) for initiation of germination.
