A field experiment\\r\\nwas conducted to study the “Effect of organic wastes and growing media on seed\\r\\ngermination and seedling growth of papaya (Carica papaya L.) under\\r\\npolyhouse condition” was taken up at the instructional farm of Department of\\r\\nHorticulture, College of Agriculture, Rewa (M.P.) during October to November\\r\\n2022. There were thirteen treatments combinations of organic wastes and growing\\r\\nmedia viz.T₁- Control, T₂- Cow dung 12 hours +\\r\\nSoil + FYM + Vermicompost T₃- Cow dung 12 hours + Soil + FYM +\\r\\nCocopeat T₄- Cow dung 24 hours + Soil + FYM + Vermicompost T₅-\\r\\nCow dung 24 hours + Soil + FYM + Cocopeat T₆- Cow dung slurry 12\\r\\nhours + FYM + Vermicompost T₇- Cow dung slurry 12 hours +Soil + FYM\\r\\n+ Cocopeat T₈- Cow dung slurry 24 hours + Soil + FYM + Vermicompost T₉-\\r\\nCow dung slurry 24 hours + Soil + FYM + Cocopeat T₁₀- Cow urine 12\\r\\nhours + Soil + FYM + Vermicompost T₁₁- Cow urine 12 hours + Soil +\\r\\nFYM + Cocopeat T₁₂- Cow urine 24 hours + Soil + FYM + Vermicompost T₁₃-\\r\\nCow urine 24 hours + Soil + FYM + Cocopeat. Which were laid out in randomized\\r\\nblock design with three replications.
