Abstract: The investigation was carried out in kharif season 2017-18 conducted at the College nursery, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Indore (M.P.) to study the physiological parameters and biotic stress susceptibility as influenced by different varieties and media’s. The work on the entiled topic viz.; Response of physiological and biotic stress suspectibility for the most ideal soil media of different varieties of drumstick (Moringa oleifera L) under net house condition has not been reported in the malwa region.. Therefore, the specific studies were conducted in net house condition. The experimental materials for the present investigation were practiced with factorial experiment in completely randomized design replicated thrice with different combinations of variety and media. The experiment was comprised of two varieties i.e. Bhagyalaxmi and local in combination with six different potting media’s viz. V1T1 (Bhagyalaxmi with only soil 100 percent), V2T2 (Bhagyalaxmi with only sand 100 percent), V1T3 (Bhagyalaxmi with soil+ cocopeat 3:1), V1T4 (Bhagyalaxmi with soil+ FYM3:1), V1T5 (Bhagyalaxmiwithsoil+Poultrymanure3:1), V1T6 (Bhagyalaxmiwithsoil+vermicompost3:1), V2T1(Local with only soil 100 percent), V2 T2(Local with only sand 100 percent) V2T3 (Local+soil+cocopeat3:1), V2T4(Local+soil+FYM3:1), V2T5(Local+soil+poultrymanure3:1), V2T6 (Local+soil+ vermicompost 3:1). The treatment V1T6 (Bhagyalaxmi +soil + vermicompost 3:1) resulted superior in terms of physiological parameters as compared to rest of the treatments in terms of varietal effect, effect of soil media and interaction between varieties and media (VXM) However, treatment V2T2 (Local+ only sand) was found to be lowest in leaf area index. The maximum biotic stress susceptibility was recorded in the treatment V2T2 (Local+ only sand) in terms of varietal effect, effect of soil media and interaction between varieties and media (VXM).While minimum was recorded in treatment V1T5 (Bhagyalaxmi +soil + Poultry manure 3:1).
