The study was carried out to study Effect of Different Growing Media on Seed Germination, Seedling Growth and Establishment of Papaya (Carica papaya L.) cv. Red Lady during 2023-24. They were utilized for research in order to facilitate seed germination and seedling growth on various media. The current study used a randomized block design with three replications for each of the nine treatment combinations. The characteristics of seed germination and the growth parameters of seedlings were noted.The findings demonstrated that utilizing a medium mixture consisting of soil, vermicompost, and cocopeat (1:2:1) improved seed germination (91.93%) and reduced days of germination (14.73). The highest net profit ratio (Rs. 323227.5 per 1000 seedlings) and B:c ratio (3.47) of seedlings were observed in the maximum seedling height (13.20 cm), number of leaves (13.40), chlorophyll content (67.85), shoot length (9.62 cm), grith of seedling (5.74 mm), Seedling Vigor index (1213.75), fresh weight of seedling (18.98 g), leaf area (46.05 cm2), and seedling survival percentage (83.27%).
