Soil media of silt + sawdust gave maximum days to sprouting (40.5 day) while minimum days to sprouting were noted in Silt + Garden Soil (35.6 days). Maximum length of stem (27.3 cm) and length of roots per plant (41.8 cm) were measured in garden soil while minimum length of stern (19.6 cm) was measured in silt + sawdust and minimum root length (34.8 cm) in silt + garden Soil + leaf mould + sawdust.
