Abstract: A field experiment entitled” Effect of Nitrogen and Organic manures on plant growth, yield and quality attributes of Cape Gooseberry (Physalis Peruviana)” was carried out at Horticulture Research Field, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and sciences Prayagraj during the season (2023-2024). The design of the experiment was randomized block design (RBD) having 13 Treatment and each replication thrice. result obtained during the present investigation with different treatment of Nitrogen and Organic manures on plant growth, yield and quality attributes of Cape Gooseberry (Physalis Peruviana), it is concluded that the Treatment T7 75% RD of nitrogen + 25% N through FYM + PSB + VAM was found to be the best treatment in respect to plant growth, fruit yield and fruit quality viz., plant height, number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, leaf area (cm2),days to first flowering, days to first fruiting ,number of flower per plant, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight with and without husk (g), fruit yield (kg plant-1) with and without husk, polar diameter (cm) with and without husk , radial diameter (cm) with and without husk, fruit yield (t ha-1) with and without husk, acidity (%) , total soluble solids (T.S.S.) and ascorbic acid (100g of fresh fruit) of capegoose berry fruits under Allahabad agro-climatic conditions.
