experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD) with the sand media, cocopeat, husk media, husk charchoal, and sand malang as factors. The result showed that the growing media treatment affected the growth of germination peanut seeds. Cocopeat media was showed the better result of germination percentage and vigour index compared other treatment. The avarage of germination percentage and vigour index were 96% and 67,5%. Husk media showed the lower result based on the observed variables.
