Abstract:
The present research entitled “Effect of Gibberellic acid and different growing media on seed germination of Acid lime” was conducted during Rabi season of 2019 at Horticulture Farm of Pt. K.L.S. College of Horticulture and Research Station, Rajnandgaon (C.G.). The experiment was laid out in CRD with factorial concept and there were 2 factors, first was growing media and second was GA_3. There were 5 levels of factor A (Growing media), M₁ Soil + FYM (1:1), M₂ Soil + Vermicompost (1:1), M₃ Soil + FYM + Cocopeat (1:1:1), M₄ Soil + Vermicompost + Cocopeat (1:1:1), M₅ Soil + FYM + Vermicompost + Cocopeat (1:1:1:1) respectively and 4 levels factor B (Gibberellic acid), G₀ (Control, 0 ppm), G₁ (100 ppm), G₂ (150 ppm) and G₃ (200 ppm). The data clearly showed that M₃ media was found to be the best for germination percentage (79.21%) and media M₅ was found to be the best for Days taken for initiation of germination (20.25). In case of gibberellic acid, G₃ took less time for initiation of germination (21.66) and found best for germination percentage (81.41%).
