The treatment of soil : vermicompost : paddy husk (1:2:1) had significant influence by recording maximum seed germination at 30 DAS, seedling length, number of leaves per seedling, number of primary ischolar_mains per seedling, length of tap ischolar_main per seedling, number of secondary ischolar_mains per seedling at 30, 60 and 90 days after sowing. It also recorded the maximum fresh and dry weight of seedling at 90 DAS. The condition of net house with 70 per cent mesh size recorded maximum seed germination at 30 DAS, seedling length, number of leaves per seedling at 30 and 90 DAS, number of primary ischolar_mains per seedling at 30, 60 and 90 DAS, length of tap ischolar_main per seedling at 30 and 60 DAS, maximum seedling girth at 30 and 60 DAS as well as maximum fresh and dry weight of seedling at 90 DAS. The sowing of seeds on 15th April, 2012 gave maximum germination at 30 DAS and recorded maximum seedling length, number of leaves per seedling, number of primary ischolar_mains per seedling, length of tap ischolar_main per seedling, number of secondary ischolar_mains per seedling and maximum seedlings girth at 30, 60 and 90 DAS. At 90 DAS, maximum fresh and dry weight of seedling was obtained with sowing on 15th April, 2012.

The study on sponge gourd revealed that application of MH 400 ppm at 2-true leaf stage and 4 leaf stages significantly reduced the length of main axis (356.25cm) and increased the fruit girth (15.25cm). The treatment with NAA 200 ppm lowered the node number. The treatment with ethrel 500 ppm increased the length of ovary (6.77cm), length of fruit (26.50cm) and fruit volume (229.75cc) as well as weight of fruit (168.75g). The treatment of ethrel 250 ppm increased the number of branches per vine (13.75) and number of female flowers per vine (44.75) while, reduced the days to first female flower appearance (58.25) and lowered the male: female sex ratio (7.00:1) and increased the number of fruits per vine (25.75), fruit yield per vine (3.97kg) as well as fruit yield per hectare (17.68 t). Finally, it was inferred that ethrel 250 ppm was most effective in improving femaleness and yield of sponge gourd cv. PUSA CHIKNI.
