The experiment was conducted in the Seed Testing Laboratory, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, Naini, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh during 2020-2021 in Pusa Sneha variety of sponge gourd. Seeds of sponge gourd were primed with different nutrients for 12hours, after which they were dried to safe moisture content. In laboratory various germination methods i.e., between paper and sand method were adopted to study the effect of nutrient on seedling parameters i.e., germination percentage, root length, shoot length, seedling length, fresh weight of seedlings, dry weight of seedlings, vigour index I, vigour index II. The micro-nutrients used in the treatments of the sponge gourd seeds were T₁ – ZnSO₄ 0.1%, T₂ - ZnSO₄ 0.5%, T₃ – ZnSO₄ 1%, T₄ - MnSO₄ 0.1%, T₅ – MnSO₄ 0.5%, T₆ – MnSO₄ 1%, T₇ – CuSO₄ 0.1%, T₈ – CuSO₄ 0.5%, T₉- CuSO₄ 1%, T₁₀- B2(SO₄)₃- 0.1%, T₁₁- B₂(SO₄)₃- 0.5%, T₁₂- B₂(SO₄)₃- 1% and untreated seeds kept as control were soaked in solution for 12 hrs. The highest seed germination per cent was recorded in ZnSO₄ 0.5%. ZnSO₄ 0.5% showed best result in all the quality parameters followed by ZnSO₄ 1%.
