The present investigation entitled “Effect of Integrated nutrient management on the fruit quality parameters and yield of peach (Prunus persica Batsch) cv. Shan-i-Punjab” was conducted in the Department of Horticulture, Khalsa College, Amritsar during 2019-20. The investigation was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with six treatments which replicated thrice. The treatments were comprised of T1 (100% N through RDF), T2 (75% of N through RDF + 25% of N through vermicompost), T3 (50% of N through RDF + 50% of N through vermicompost, T4 (25% of N through RDF + 75% of N through vermicompost), T5 (100% of N through vermicompost and T6 (Control). Among all treatments, trees treated with T2 (75% of N through RDF + 25% of N through vermicompost) yielded fruits with maximum fruit size (6.38 cm x 6.16 cm), fruit firmness (5.19 Kg/cm2), fruit weight (90.50 g), fruit colour (9.26) and organoleptic rating (8.67), whereas, the fruit bio-chemical characters in terms of TSS (13.51%), total sugars (9.13%), reducing sugars (6.30%) were recorded under treatment T2 (75% of N through RDF + 25% of N through vermicompost). The treatment T2 advanced the maturity of fruits and also registered max fruit yield (75.82 Kg/ tree). Thus it can be concluded that T2 (75% of N through RDF + 25% of N through vermicompost) was more effective than rest of treatments.
