Online published on 2 January, 2017. Abstract Mango is important fruit crop in India. If grow scientifically it is the highest remunerative fruit crop. Therefore present investigation was undertaken to increased better germination and growth of mango cultivars. The present investigation entitled “Influence of growing media and GA3 on germination and seedling growth of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Amrutang”. From the foregoing discussion it can be concluded that among the different growing medias M1i.e. Soil + Sand + Farm Yard Manure (2: 1: 1)isfound to be the most effective for better germination of mango stone as well as growth of mango seedlings (height, number of leaves, length of root and shoot, fresh and dry weight of seedlings, shoot: root ratio, leaf area as well as survival per cent of seedlings). Similarly among the different concentration of GA3, G2-(GA3 200 ppm) found better for the above parameters. Therefore, the combination of M1G2 (Soil + Sand+ Farm Yard Manure (2: 1: 1) + GA3 200 ppm) found most suitable for growing of mango stone for rootstock purpose.
