Abstract:
The present study was carried out at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) during October 2020 to March 2021 to study the response of different doses of nitrogen on vegetative growth, flowering, fruiting and fruit quality of cape gooseberry. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design (R.B.D) with nine treatments and three replications. The treatments were T1 (Nitrogen @ 120 Kg/ha), T2 (Nitrogen @ 115 Kg/ha), T3 (Nitrogen @ 110 Kg/ha), T4 (Nitrogen @ 105 Kg/ha), T5 (Nitrogen @ 100 Kg/ha), T6 (Nitrogen @ 95 Kg/ha), T7 (Nitrogen @ 90 Kg/ha), T8 (Nitrogen @ 85 kg/ha), T9 (Nitrogen @ 80 Kg/ha) and Phosphorous, Potash at a constant dose of 60 Kg/ha. Nitrogen was applied in form of urea and Phosphorous, Potash in form of SSP and MOP. Treatment T1 (120N: 60P: 60K) Kg/ha was found best for vegetative parameters like plant height, number of leaves, leaf area but first flower initiation and fruiting was delayed and it took minimum days in treatment T9 (Nitrogen @ 80 Kg/ha). Treatment T3 (110N: 60P: 60K) Kg/ha was found best for the parameters like number of branches, TSS, ascorbic acid whereas high acidity content was recorded for T1 (Nitrogen @ 120 Kg/ha).
