Abstract

Growing media is the important aspect to measure healthy seedlings in ridgegourd. Hydrogel polymer in media provide bio-stimulant to nitrogen promotes seed germination through function as signaling molecule. The present study reports that hydrogel polymer when mixed with cocopeat, perlite, vermiculite (3:1:1) ratio bestows myriad effects on seedling growth. Herein, seed sown in media of cocopeat, perlite, vermiculite (3:1:1) along with 1 gm hydrogel polymer improved seedling germination, root and shoot growth, chlorophyll content and net profit as compared to control.
