dc.description.abstractThe present investigation entitled “Evaluation of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) germplasm under subtropical conditions” was undertaken at Fruit Research Farm, Department of Fruit Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during 2020-21 & 2021-22. It consisted of three experiments viz., to evaluate cape gooseberry Varieties under subtropical conditions of Punjab, phenological studies of cape gooseberry and investigating the effect of different mulches on yield and quality attributes of cape gooseberry var. „Jabalpur Oblong‟. Five cape gooseberry Varieties viz. „Naandhar‟, „Banglora‟, „Jabalpur Oblong‟, „Jabalpur Round‟ and „Gaya‟, were characterized under Ludhiana (Punjab) agro-climatic conditions. The seeds of cape gooseberry were sown in the third week of July and transplanted in the first week of September on raised beds at spacing 0.75 × 0.60 m. A wide range of variability among different cultivars was observed in vegetative, flowering and fruit characters. The maximum plant height was reported in „Naandhar‟ (114.47 cm) followed by „Jabalpur Oblong‟ (99.96 cm). The maximum plant spread in East-West (92.50 cm) and North-South (86.65 cm) directions was noted in „Jabalpur Oblong‟. The yield and fruit quality attributes were significantly higher in „Jabalpur Oblong‟ than other Varieties followed by „Banglora‟. The flowering in cape gooseberry plantsinitiated after 65-70 days after transplanting, 85-90 days for fruit development and 170-180 days for fruit ripening. Mulching with black polythene considerably improved the physico-chemical characteristics as compared to white and paddy straw mulch. It is concluded that black mulch substantially enhanced fruit yield contributing attributes under subtropical climatic conditions of north India. From the studies, it may be concluded that cape gooseberry cv. „Jabalpur Oblong‟ and „Banglora‟ were found superior under Punjab conditions in terms of yield attributes and biochemical characteristics.en_US
