Abstract: An experiment entitled “Effect of GA3 and different containers on seed germination and seedling growth of papaya (Carica papaya L.) cv. Madhubindu†was carried out at Fruit Research Station, Lalbaug, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during March to May 2017. Twelve treatment combinations arising from three levels of GA3 (G1 - GA3 100 ppm, G2 - GA3 200 ppm and G3 - GA3 300 ppm) and four levels of containers (C1 - Paper cup, C2 - Plastic cup C3 - Polybag and C4 - Root trainer) were allocated in completely randomized design with factorial concept in three repetitions. The results showed that the application of treatment G3C3 (Papaya seeds are sowed in polybag after soaking in GA3 300 ppm for 24 hours) was found better for early germination, highest germination percentage, maximum shoot length, number of leaves, stem diameter, fresh and dry weight of seedling as well as highest leaf area and survival percentage of papaya seedling.
