The aim of the present study was to establish the influence of Kristalon leaf fertilizer on the yield and sowing quality of pepper seeds. The experiments were carried out with typical Bulgarian pepper cultivars Kurtovska Kapia 1619 and Bulgarski Rotund. Kristalon leaf fertilizer was applied in doses 1.5 g/cubic dm, 3.0 g/cubic dm and 6.0 g/cubic dm. The pollen fertility, number of seeds per fruit, percentage of fully developed seeds, weight of 1000 seeds, seed yield, index of seed productivity, first count, germinability (final count), fresh matter of sprout, length of embryo root and hypocotile were investigated. Kristalon improved seed formation and seed productivity of pepper. The most appropriate concentration for Kurtovska Kapia 1619 was 3.0 g/cubic dm while for Bulgarski Rotund it was 6.0 g/cubic dm, where seeds yield increased by 26.24 and 30.89 percent, respectively. The germinability was higher in comparison with seeds from non-treated plants
