Abstract: 

The present investigation was carried out during 20015-16 to study the impact of integrated nutrient management on fruit quality parameters of Cape gooseberry genotype ‘Aligarh’. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with seven treatments replicated three times. The treatments consisted of application of biofertilizers (Azotobacter and Azospirillum) applied alone or in combination with 50%,75% and 100%NPK +0.70, 1.0, 1.25 and 2.0 t/acre. Results revealed that the seeds inoculated with Azotobacter and Azospirillum+50% NPK+0.70t/a FYM gave maximum fruit size, fruit weight, TSS %, Reducing sugars and Ascorbic acid with minimum acidity % respectively
