Plant growth regulators were applied which had significant effect on yield of sweet pepper <strong>(</strong>Capsicum <em>annum L.</em>). The experiment consisted of two factors. Factor A: Plant growth regulators (four levels) as G0: Control, G<sub>1</sub>: Gibberellic Acid (GA<sub>3</sub>) @ 30 ppm, G<sub>2</sub>: 4-Chloro Phenoxy Acetic Acid (4-CPA) @ 45 ppm and G<sub>3</sub>: 4-Chloro Phenoxy Acetic Acid (4-CPA) @ 45 ppm + Gibberellic Acid (GA<sub>3</sub>) @ 30 ppm and Factor B: Number of spray (three levels) as N<sub>0</sub>: Control (no spray), N<sub>1</sub>: two spray, N<sub>2</sub>: three spray. In case of plant growth regulators, the highest yield (27.77 t/ha) was found from G<sub>3</sub> treatment, whereas the lowest (18.87 t/ha) was from G<sub>0</sub> treatment. For number of spray the maximum yield (26.0 t/ha) was recorded from N<sub>2</sub> treatment, while the minimum yield (19.87 t/ha) was from N0 treatment. The results indicated that the highest yield (31.8 t/ha) was observed from G<sub>3</sub>N<sub>2</sub> treatment combination, while the lowest yield (17.5 t/ha) was from G<sub>0</sub>N<sub>0</sub> treatment combination. Due to combined effect, the highest yield (31.8 t/ha) with net income (Tk/ha 1416558) and BCR (2.46) was observed from G<sub>3</sub>N<sub>2</sub> treatment combination, while the lowest yield (17.5 t/ha) with net income (Tk/ha 433045) and BCR (1.49) from G<sub>0</sub>N<sub>0</sub> treatment combination. Thus, three times spray with (4- Chloro Phenoxy Acetic Acid + Gibberellic Acid) may be recommended for achieving the higher growth, yield and economic benefit of sweet pepper.</p> <p><em>The Agriculturists </em><em>2018; 16(2) 58-64</em></p>}, number={02}, journal={The Agriculturists}, author={Akhter, S and Mostarin, T and Khatun, K and Akhter, F and Parvin, A}, year={2018}, month={Dec.}, pages={58–64} }
