Abstract: The present study was conducted to evaluate the “Effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on physico-chemical composition of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.)†was carried out at the Main Experiment Station, Department of Horticulture, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Ayodhya (U.P.) during the years 2014-15 and 2015-16. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 13 treatments and 3 replications. The detail of treatments were as T1- FYM 10 t/ha, T2-Vermicompost 5 t/ha, T3- Pressmud 10 t/ha, T4- FYM 10 t/ha + Azotobacter 10 kg/ha, T5- Vermicompost 5 t/ha + Azotobacter 10 kg/ha, T6-Pressmud 10 t /ha+ Azotobacter 10 kg/ha, T7- FYM 10 t/ha + PSB 10 kg/ha, T8-Vermicompost 5 t/ha + PSB 10 kg/ha, T9- Pressmud 10 t/ha + PSB 10 kg/ha, T10- FYM 10 t/ha + Azotobacter 10 kg/ha + PSB 10 kg/ha, T11- Vermicompost 5t/ha + Azotobacter 10 kg/ha + PSB 10 kg/ha, T12- Pressmud 10 t/ha + Azotobacter 10 kg/ha + PSB 10 kg/ha and T13- Control. The maximum total soluble solids (13.64 and 13.78 0Brix), ascorbic acid (45.20 and 46.90 mg/100g pulp), reducing sugars (5.25 and 5.40 per cent), non-reducing sugar (3.99 and 4.11 per cent), total sugars (9.24 and 9.51per cent) and minimum acidity (1.24 and 1.22 per cent) were recorded with application of vermicompost 5t/ha + Azotobacter 10 kg/ha + PSB 10 kg/ha (T11) during years 2014-15 and 2015-16, respectively. However, the minimum values of all characters except acidity were recorded under the control.
