ABSTRACT
The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Research Farm-I of the Department of Applied Plant Science (Horticulture) at Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedker University (A Central University), Vidya Vihar Rae Bareli Road, Lucknow. The present experiment foliar application of GA3 and Homa ash on growth and yield of Cape gooseberry were studied. The maximum plant height (64.75cm), number of branches (12.25) and internodal distance (7.75) are observed in treatment T4 (400 ppm gibberellic acid) followed by treatment T3 (300 ppm gibberellic acid) increased significantly compared to the control. It was observed that the maximum yield of fresh fruits (387.12 g) was recorded in treatment T4 400 ppm GA3 followed by T3400 ppm(356.32g), Whereas minimum (161.60g) yield was recorded in treatment T0 (Control).
Key words: GA3, Homa, Cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.), Growth, Yield.
