Abstract: The present study was conducted at Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir, Shalimar Campus Srinagar at High Density Apple Block of Division of Fruit Science for two consecutive years 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 with an objective to observe the influence of different levels and combinations of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium on quality parameters of High Density Apple cv. Red velox. The results of the study revealed that the apple fruit quality viz., SSC, sugars, reducing and non-reducing sugars were significantly influenced with highest levels of phosphorus and potassium (i.e. P3 and K3) coupled with N2 level of nitrogen during 2017 and 2018 respectively when nutrients were applied in combination. Maximum soluble solids content (14.31, 15.04; 14.26, 14.87 and 14.23, 14.82 0Brix), total sugars (9.685, 9.897; 9.444, 9.646 and 9.472, 9.687%), reducing sugars (6.937, 7.015; 6.985, 7.047 and 7.005, 7.067%), non-reducing sugars (2.492, 2.632; 2.366, 2.479 and 2.371, 2.473%) was obtained in N2 level of nitrogen coupled with highest level of P and K i.e., P3 and K3. Among the interaction effects, the treatment combination of N2P3K3recorded maximum SSC (14.50, 15.19 0Brix), total sugars (9.810, 10.05%), reducing sugars (7.20, 7.39%) and non-reducing sugars (2.61, 2.73%) resulted in significant increase in quality attributes of High Density Apple cv. Red velox.
