Abstract: The current study was conducted at College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Jimma University, Ethiopia to identify nutrient media that support optimum germination of Ficus vallischaude seed. Six media and media mixes and a control were tested in a completely randomized design. The result has clearly revealed that early germination of seeds was observed with the use of media containing a mixture of forest soil, cow dung and sand in 3:1:1 ratio and with the use of cow dung alone. The germination percentage of Ficus vallischaude varies significantly among different media. Accordingly the germination percentage was 100% for the control followed by sand and forest soil with 88 and 72%, respectively. This study revealed sand as the most appropriate nutrient medium for the germination of Ficus vallischaude.
