Physalis cultivation can be an alternative of extra income for small and medium producers, mainly with the use materials available on property that replace chemical fertilizer. This study aimed to evaluate agronomic parameters peruviana P. pubescens submitted two different sources fertilization - organic. We evaluated plant height, shoot dry mass, production/plant, fruits diameter weight productivity. The organic provided better results vegetative parameters. Regarding production, resulted in increase no significant difference between sources. In production fruits/plant we obtained 156.2 g, 274.6 355.5 g unfertilized, fertilizers, respectively, without differences species. productivity estimates were 2,370, 1,831 1,041 kg ha-1, organic, mineral unfertilized treatments, respectively. These demonstrate fertilizer poultry manure is best as a source nutrients, which may result gains producer by originated waste from other activities, well lower environmental contamination, either improper disposal or fertilizers.
