An investigation was conducted at Forest Nursery and Research Centre, College of Forestry, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during the years 2023 and 2024. Completely Randomized design (CRD) was employed with 10 treatments and three (3) replication each. The perforated polythene bags of 8 x 10 cm size were used for sowing. As per growing media treatment combinations, different mixtures of Soil, Sand, FYM, Poultry manaure and vermicompost were prepared and filled in polyethylene bags. The polyethylene bags of different growing media combinations were kept in green house. The seeds of (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) were sown in 2.5 cm depth in polybags prepared with different potting mixture on July, 2023 and July 2024.  From the research investigation it is found that treatment T9: Soil: Sand: Vermicompost (1:1:2). was found best in the terms of germinations  (%),  seedling height (cm), root length  (cm),  collar diameter (mm),   number of leaves seedling, leaf area (cm²), fresh weight of shoot (g),  dry weight of shoot (g),  fresh weight of root (g), dry weight of root (g),  root shoot : ratio, fresh weight of plant (biomass yield),   dry weight of plant (biomass yield),  seed vigour index (i) and seed vigour index (ii).
