Abstract
An experiment was conducted on Silver fir (Abies pindrow) seedlings raised in five different growing medium in 300cc ischolar_main trainers-M1 (Peat moss + vermiculite, 1 : 1),M2 (Dal weed +Sand, 1:1), M3 (Cupressus leaf litter+ Sand, 1:1), M4 (Peat moss+Sand, 1:1) and M5 (Soil + Sand + FYM, 1:1:1). The growth of seedlings was recorded after two years and six months of sowing. The growing medium M1 (Peat moss + Vermiculite, 1:1) recorded maximum height (10.2cm), collar diameter (3.71mm) and fresh shoot and ischolar_main weight (3.79 and 4.22g) respectively, similarly the seedlings raised in M1 also recorded maximum height increment of 3.92cm.
