(Solanaceae) is an Andean shrub species that produces sugary fruits.<br />The cultivation of this species is recent, thus, aspects related to soil fertilization for it still need to be<br />studied. The objective of this work was to define the rates of NPK fertilizer applied at planting that<br />meet the requirements of physalis crops. The experiment was conducted at Institute Federal of Minas<br />Gerais (IFMG), Campus Bambuí, from February 25 to November 23, 2015. A completely randomized<br />design was used, with 8 treatments and 6 replications, totaling 48 experimental units. The treatments<br />consisted of N, P2O5, and K2O rates (kg ha-1), using urea (45% N), monoammonium phosphate<br />(9% N and 44% P2O5), and potassium chloride (58% of K2O). Morphological and bromatological<br />characteristics and fruit production were evaluated. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and<br />the means grouped by the Scott-Knott test at 5% probability. The NPK rate that generates the higher<br />fruit production and greater savings is 1200 mg dm-3 of N, 3600 mg dm-3 of P2O5, and 2400 mg<br />dm-3 of K2O, and the NPK rate that results in greater morphological development is 1600 mg dm-3 of<br />N, 4800 mg dm-3 of P2O5, and 3200 mg dm-3 of K2O.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Cape gooseberry.
