Description The present investigation entitled “Studies on seed germination and subsequent seedling growth of papaya (Carica papaya L.) cv. Pusa Nanha” was carried out at Horticultural College and Research Institute, Anantharajupet during the year, 2013-14. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design replicated thrice with the objective to study the “Effect of chemical treatments and different growing medias on seed germination and subsequent seedling vigour of papaya (Carica papaya L.) cv. Pusa Nanha.” The results indicated that maximum root length and root dry weight and the dry weight of the seedlings were recorded in seed treatment with GA3 200 ppm for 24 hrs. Whereas, maximum petiole diameter was observed in seed treatment with GA3 300 ppm for 12 hrs. The early seed germination, maximum germination percentage, germination index, plant height, number of leaves, number of nodes, leaf area, seedling girth, petiole length, shoot dry weight, vigour index, fresh and dry weight of seedling along with the highest cost benefit ratio were recorded in seed treatment with GA3 300 ppm for 24 hrs. The maximum germination percentage, early seed germination, germination index and leaf area were recorded in substrate combination of FYM + Cocopeat + Vermicompost + Soil + Sand (60% + 10% + 10% + 10% + 10%). Whereas, maximum root length and root dry weight was observed in substrate combination of FYM + Cocopeat + Vermicompost + Soil + Sand (10% + 10% + 60% + 10% + 10%) along with the biofertilizer mixture (Azospirillum, PSB and Frateuria aurantia). The maximum plant height, number of leaves, number of nodes, seedling girth, petiole length, petiole diameter, shoot dry weight of seedling, fresh weight of seedling, dry weight of seedling and vigour index with the highest cost benefit ratio was recorded in substrate combination of FYM + Cocopeat +
