To sprout seedlings, peppers are sown about 65–70 days before the estimated time of soil change. The most suitable temperature regime for timely seed germination is 26–28 ° C.

The calculation of the number of plants for the entire planting area is based on the number of 5-7 bushes per 1 square. meter of land.
