Abstract: The present study was carried out to investigate “Effect of GA3 and growing media on seed germination of papaya (Carica papaya L.) cv. Pusa Nanha”. The study revealed that the treatments comprised combinations of soil, FYM, and vermicompost with varying levels of GA3. The result indicated that GA3 200 ppm is found to be the most effective for better germination of papaya seedlings. Among different growing media the treatment soil + FYM + vermicompost (1:1:1) was recorded higher values of germination parameters that are germination percentage, germination period, seed vigour (%), and germination index. The treatment combination of GA3 200 ppm and growing media of soil: FYM: vermicompost (1:1:1) was found most suitable for growing of papaya nursery.
