A research was conducted on the response of potassium nitrate and urea phosphate for biochemical evaluation of Cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) locally genotype Sel-VK-601 at the permanent farm of Bihar Agriculture College, Sabour, Bhagalpur during 2018-19. There were seven treatments with three replications was maintained and different doses of chemicals were applied with Randomized Block Design. Out of seven treatments, whereas the TSS (15.96 brix), Total sugar (10.53%), Ascorbic acid (45.80 mg/100g), Total carotenoids (5.48 mg/100g), Total flavonoids (3.07 mg RE/100g) was found with application of KNO3 @ 1.5%. The other parameters like Titrable Acidity (1.67%), Total phenol (80.03 GAE/100g), Antioxidant (601.10 µMol trolex eq.100g) were found with sprayed Urea phosphate @ 1.5%. Therefore, the application of potassium nitrate and urea phosphate are very useful chemicals which increase the biochemical ranges in cape gooseberry because of applied these chemicals delayed the ripening process.
