Investigations carried out at Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Dharwad during the year 2015-16, to assess the influence of different stages of fruit maturity on germination, growth and vigour of papaya (cv. Solo) seedling, revealed that the harvesting of fruit at 3/4 ripe stage significantly increased the germination percentage (48.00%), dry weight of seedling (8.50 mg) and vigour index (1179.55) as compared to fruit harvested at other stages of maturity. Fruit at 3/4 ripe stage also recorded highest 100 seed weight.
