Abstract
Korarima (Aframomum corrorima) is native crop to Ethiopia, herbaceous, perennial and aromatic spice. Production is much lower mainly due to constraints such as lack of improved variety and poor agronomic practices. Thus, the current study was conducted with the objective of determining rooting media on nursery performance. The experiment was executed at Teppi National Spice Research Center. The treatments arranged in RCBD in three replications, with the seven level of rooting media (FS, ForS, DCH, FS+ForS, FS+DCH, ForS+DCH and FS+ForS +DCH) were assigned as rooting media respectively. Analysis of the results revealed that the plant height, leaf length, leaf area, leaf number fresh and dry biomass of the shoot were highly responded to the growth rooting media but tiller production, fresh and dry biomass of the root were not responded to the growth rooting media. The most reliable and recommendable rooting media on best nursery performance of Korarima was forest soil in South west, Ethiopia.
