520			_aABSTRACT The study was carried out to investigate the impact of small, moderate, and big pot sizes on the development and growth of cocoa seedlings in Liberia. The study specifically demonstrated how cocoa seedlings in various pot sizes differed in terms of growth, height, stem girth, number of leaves, and fresh and dry weight. In some regions of West Africa, particularly Liberia, cocoa growing is extremely profitable. The usage of pot sizes and their impact on the cocoa seedlings presents difficulties for this type of agriculture. It is obvious that cocoa's physiological and morphological reactions to the rooting volume might influence both their transplant and performance. The study used a randomized complete block design with tiny, moderate and big pots filled with soil samples taken with the aid of a pickaxe and manure from a depth of 0 to 15 cm. From the population of 150 potted cocoa seedlings employed in the study, 50 potted cocoa seedlings made up the sample. All hypotheses were tested at the significance level of 0.05 after the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The study's findings demonstrated that the three treatments—small, medium, and large—were homogeneous before the experiment ever started. The growth and survivability of cocoa seedlings were impacted by the usage of various pot sizes. The results of the present study suggest that, among other things, especially farmers cultivating elite varieties and hybrid cultivars can promote the productivity of their cocoa plantations by using large size pots. Additionally, it was suggested that the government provide cocoa farmers with grants and loans to adopt growing seedlings in large size.
