Abstract:
Cape gooseberry (Physallis peruviana L.) is an important minor tropical Solanaceous fruit crop of India which is also known as Rasbhari. An experiment was conducted at the Horticulture research farm (pili Kothi) of Department of Horticulture, Tilak Dhari post Graduate College, Jaunpur to study the response of integrated nutrient management on quality attributes of Cape gooseberry. The experiment comprised of twelve treatments T1 (100% NPK), T2 (100% NPK+FYM), T3 (100% NPK+FYM+AZB), T4 (100% NPK+FYM+PSB), T5 (75% NPK), T6 (75% NPK+FYM), T7 (75%NPK+FYM+AZB), T8 (75% NPK+FYM+PSB), T9 (50% NPK), T10 (50% NPK+FYM), T11 (50% NPK+FYM+AZB), T12 (50% NPK+FYM+PSB) and was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The observation revealed that the application of 100%NPK+FYM+PSB(T4) and the treatment (T8) 75%NPK+FYM+PSB recorded the highest juice %, total soluble solid maximize with application of treatment T8 75% NPK+FYM+PSB and minimum total soluble solids was noted with treatment T5 75% NPK, titrable acidity maximize with treatment 100% NPK, ascorbic acid maximum noted with T8 75% NPK+FYM+PSB, treatment (T₈) 75% NPK+FYM+PSB had highest reducing and non-reducing sugar %, followed by treatment T4 100%NPK+FYM+PSB, maximum total sugar% noted by application of treatment T8 75%NPK+FYM+PSB whereas dry matter content was maximum with treatment T12 50%NPK+FYM+PSB.
