Abstract: The study was carried out to study the Effect of different growing media on seed germination and seedling growth of papaya (Carica papaya L) cv. Pusa Nanha in Chhindwara District The research was conducted at Department of Horticulture, School of Agricultural Sciences, G H Raisoni University, Saikheda, M.P during 2018 -2019. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with ten treatment combinations and three replications. The treatments were prepared with combination between types of media with level of cocopeat having 20 polybags in each treatment and replication. The results showed that the medium of soil+vermicompost+vermiculite (1:1:1) with 2 cm cocopeat at top of polybags (T5) gave maximum and significantly higher rate of emergence (278%), highest germination per cent (95), maximum germination index (3.85), seedling vigour (94.54) and least time required for imbibition (9.13 days).
