Abstract:
This study aims to determine the effects of solid matrix priming combined with plant extracts on seedling studies of papaya for 48 hrs. Different treatments were T1; sawdust + 5% neem extracts, T2; sawdust + 5% tea extracts, T3; sawdust + 5% turmeric extracts, T4; sawdust + 5% marigold extracts, T5 ; sawdust + 5% amaranthus extracts and T6; sawdust + 5% water. The solid matrix priming of papaya seed significantly influenced on the germination rate growth and development of papaya seedlings. Overall, from the study it was found that T3 (sawdust + 5% turmeric extract), T4 (sawdust + 5% marigold extract) and T5 (sawdust + 5% amaranthus extract) performed better than other treatments.
