A field experiment on the “Effect of seed germination and seedling vigour in different soil media for the establishment of annual drumstick (Moringa oleifera) cv.PKM-1” was conducted during August to November 2021, naturally ventilated polyhouse of Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.). The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design consisting of 12 treatments and three replications. The experiment consisted of using media and fertilizers such as Soil, NPK, Perlite, Vermiculite, Biocompost, Bokashi and Coirpith in different combinations to evaluate the best media combination for the seed germination, seedling growth and establishment of annual drumstick. In this investigation,+ the result reveald that the treatment T8 [Soil (50%) + Vermiculite (25%) + Perlite (25%)] was found best in respect to the germination parameters, growth parameters and physiological parameters like days to germination (7.0), germination percentage (87%), seed vigour index (3.03), plant height (140.03 cm), number of leaves per plant (380.43), stem girth (2.05 cm), number of nodes (34.17), length of inter node (20.15 cm), fresh weight of shoot (21.48 g), dry weight of shoot (10.50 g), fresh weight of root (8.54 g), dry weight of root (3.90g) and root : shoot ratio (0.40) of annual drumstick (Moringa oleifera L.) cv.PKM-1.
