Abstract: The investigation was carried out in kharif season 2017-18 conducted at the College nursery, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Indore (M.P.) to study the germination and emergence parameters, seedling vigour, as influenced by different varieties and media’ s. The experimental materials for the present investigation were practiced with factorial experiment in completely randomized design replicated thrice with different combinations of variety and media. The experiment was comprised of two varieties i.e. Bhagyalaxmi and local in combination with six different potting media’s viz. V1T1 (Bhagyalaxmi with only soil 100 percent), V2T2 (Bhagyalaxmi with only sand 100 percent), V1T3 (Bhagyalaxmi with soil+ cocopeat 3:1), V1T4 (Bhagyalaxmi with soil+ FYM 3:1),V1T5 (Bhagyalaxmi with soil+ Poultry manure 3:1), V1T6 (Bhagyalaxmi with soil+ vermicompost 3:1), V2T1 (Local with only soil 100 percent),V2T2(Local withonlysand100percent), V2T3(Local+soil+cocopeat3:1), V2T4 (Local+ soil+ FYM3:1), V2T5(Local+soil+poultry manure 3:1), V2T6 (Local+soil+ vermicompost 3:1). The treatment V2T2( Local+ only sand) was found to be significantly superior in days taken to emergence in terms of varietal effect, effect of soil media and interaction between varieties and media (VXM) whereas treatment V1T6 (Bhagyalaxmi +soil + vermicompost 3:1) shows lowest in days taken to emergence. However, in germination percentage treatment V1T6 (Bhagyalaxmi +soil + vermicompost 3:1) was found to be significantly surpassing in terms of varietal effect, effect of soil media and interaction between varieties and media (VXM) and minimum was observed in V2T2( Local+ only sand). The treatment V1T6 (Bhagyalaxmi +soil + vermicompost 3:1) shows superiority in terms of seedling Vigour parameters as compared to rest of the treatments in terms of varietal effect, effect of soil media and interaction between varieties and media (VXM) viz., Vigour index-1, Vigour index -2, root length, root fresh weight, root dry weight, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight, total fresh weight, total dry weight, and leaf area. Whereas, treatment V2T2 (Local+ only sand) was found to be lowest in contrary to with other treatments in seedling Vigour parameters.
