Abstract: An experiment was carried out to study the Effect of training level on growth and yield of Capsicum (Capsicum annuum L) hybrid buffalo under natural ventilated polyhouse during September, 2016 to February, 2017 at Hi-Tech Horticulture, R.P.C.A.U Pusa, Samastipur, Bihar. There were three levels of training level viz. P₁ (two shoots), P₂ (three shoots) and P₃ ((four shoots). The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. Among the different training level, the maximum plant height (132.23 cm), number of leaf (119.61), leaf area (99.95 dm²), number of branches (8.93), number of flower per plant (11.41), number of days for fruit set (66.75 days), number of fruit per plant (20.31), yield per plant (3.20 kg), yield (95.01t/ha), and B:C ratio (6.21) was recorded under P₃(four shoots) rest of treatments. maximum fruit weight was recorded under P₁, and least number of days to first harvest, early flower initiation as well as 50 per cent flowering was recorded under training level P₁ (two shoots). maximum fruit weight(175.91 g) was recorded under P₁, and least number of days to first harvest (89.36 days), early flower initiation as well as 50 per cent flowering (52.71 days) was recorded under training level P₁ (two shoots)
