Abstract: An experiment was conducted at the farmer’s field of Baninathpur, Murshidabad adjacent to Dhaanyaganga KVK to study the effect of different training levels on growth, yield attributes, yield and economics of capsicum under poly house condition during consecutive two years viz. September, 2018 to March, 2019 and September, 2019 to March, 2020. The four training levels P₁ (two shoots plant^-1), P₂ (three shoots plant^-1), P₃ (four shoots plant^-1) and P₄ (five shoots plant^-1) were evaluated in present experiment. Considering the pooled data of two years at different training levels,the maximum plant height, leaf numbers at different growth stages, leaf area, number of flowers and fruits per plant were recorded in plants trained with five shoots. It was closely followed by the treatment having four shoots per plant. The yield was maximum in treatment receiving training methods to maintain four shoots per plant. It was because of the higher fruit size. The outcome reflected that the plant with four shoots yielded maximum production with best benefit cost ratio.
