Formula used to calculate papaya seed germination parameters, according to Taghizadeh and Solgi (2017)_

GP	$GP = \frac{Ng}{Nt} \times 100$ {\rm{GP}} = {{{\rm{Ng}}} \over {{\rm{Nt}}}} \times 100	Ng = germinated seedsNt = total sown seeds
GRI	$GRI = \frac{G 1}{1} + \frac{G 2}{2} + \dots + \frac{G i}{i}$ {\rm{GRI}} = {{G1} \over 1} + {{G2} \over 2} + \ldots + {{Gi} \over i}	Gi = the germination on each day after number of days from sowingi = alternate day after sowing
CV	$CV = \frac{Σ N i}{Σ N i \times T i} \times 100$ {\rm{CV}} = {{\Sigma Ni} \over {\Sigma Ni \times Ti}} \times 100	Ni = the number of germinated seedsTi = the last day of germination
SVI	SVI = (PL + RL) × GP	PL = shoot lengthRL = root lengthGP = germination percentage
