The experiment was laid in factorial randomized block design with 21 treatments 3 replications. The results pertaining to growth parameters shoot length (76.07 cm), number of shoots for branch (26.64) were noticed with the Urea 1.0%. The results pertaining to quality parameters maximum total soluble solids (12.46 ^oBrix), reducing sugars (6.29%), non-reducing sugars (7.50%), and total sugars (12.47%) and Ascorbic acid (81.0%) and and shelf life (17.07 days) are exhibited by the application of 1.5% Potassium Nitrate. significantly affected by treatments of pruning during experiment.
