Abstract: The study, "Germination and Growth Responses of Calamandarin to Different Soil Media", was conducted at the Nursery Project of the Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from June to October 1983 to determine the germination and growth responses of cala- mandarin to different soil media and to know which of them could give the best results. Calamandarin seeds that were taken from Pakyas, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro were sown in 720 plastic bags with different soil media like garden soil, fine river sand and compost. A randomized complete block design consisting of four replications and six treatments were used in this study. Highly significant results were obtained in terms of number of days from sowing to germination, percentage germination of seeds, percentage survival of germinated seeds, average bi-weekly height increment of seedlings, average bi-weekly increase in the number of leaves of the seedlings, and average bi-weekly increase in length of leaves as affected by different soil media used. Treatment 1 (garden soil) showed a remarkable growth. On the other hand, insignificant results were noted in terms of average bi-weekly increase in width of leaves and average bi-weekly increase in girth, diameter of stem as affected by the different soil media used in this study.
