      <Abstract>Current experiment was conducted to optimize the actual time of gibberellins spray in cape-gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) to improve growth, yield and fruit quality traits. Experimental observations revealed that physiological growth (leaf relative water content, specific leaf weight) was improved significantly by three repeated application of GA3 @100 ppm each at vegetative, anthesis and again at fruit setting stage. GA3 spray @ 25 ppm each at all three growth stages had largest flowering period; although harvest span was calculated maximum in three repeated GA3 spray @ 100 ppm each. Three application of GA3 @ 25 ppm each also increased the fruit yield at maximum level (31.79 t ha-1). Foliar spray of GA3 at any concentration increased the TSS significantly over respective control; however, the acidity was reduced at maximum level when GA3 was applied @ 50-100 ppm each at all the three growth stages. But reducing and non-reducing sugar content was maximum under GA3 spray @ 100 ppm each during all the three growth stages (8.33 and 2.70%, respectively) which was statistically at par with its application during all the three growth stages with the concentration ranging from 25-75 ppm. Hence, it can be concluded that GA3application @25 ppm each at vegetative, anthesis and again at fruit setting stage is optimum to improve the yield of better quality cape gooseberry fruit significantly.</Abstract>
