The present investigation entitled “Effect of different media on the rootstock growth of Rangpur lime (Citrus limonia Osbeck) seedlings” was carried out at Fruit Nursery, Department of Fruit Science, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, during the year 2023-24 with the objective to study the effect of different media on growth of Rangpur lime. The Rangpur lime crop was used to grown and treatment was replicated three times in Randomized Block Design. In an investigation there were nine treatment of growing media i.e., T1 - Vermicompost : FYM : Fly Ash, T2 - Leaf Mould : FYM : Fly Ash, T3- Cocopeat : FYM : Fly Ash, T4 - Cocopeat : Vermicompost : Fly Ash, T5 - Vermicompost : Leaf Mould : Fly Ash, T6- Cocopeat : Leaf Mould : Fly Ash, T7- Vermicompost : FYM : Cocopeat : Fly Ash, T8 - Vermicompost : FYM : Leaf Mould : Fly Ash, T9 - Soil : Silt : FYM (Control). The seedling growth parameters i.e., height of Rangpur lime rootstock (cm), number of leaves per seedling, leaf area per seedling (cm2), stem diameter of Rangpur lime (mm), root length (cm), fresh root biomass (g), fresh plant biomass (g), fresh weight of root and plant (g), dry weight of root and plant (g) this all observations are taken after transplanting and this were significantly superior in the treatment T7- Vermicompost : FYM : Cocopeat : Fly Ash (1:1:1:1), it was observed that the height of the Rangpur lime rootstock (58.48 cm), number of leaves per seedling of Rangpur lime (58.87), leaf area per seedling (31.20 cm²) and stem diameter of Rangpur lime (6.97 mm) all showed superior performance compared to other treatments which was observed 150 DAT. After 150 DAT observations of Rangpur lime rootstock were recorded i.e. root length (24.38 cm), fresh root biomass (5.40 g), fresh plant biomass (24.37 g), fresh weight of root and plant (29.36 g) and dry weight of root and plant (20.76 g).
