Nursery plants were studied on the domestic peat Gaj originating from Banat village Gaj (Serbia). Different amounts of mineral fertilizers were added to peat using the formula 20:20:20 + microelements. This 5 substrates were prepared: 1) Gaj + 1.25 g of fertilizers; 2) Gaj + 1.85 g of fertilizers; 3) Gaj + 2.5 g of fertilizers; 4) Gaj + 3.12 g of fertilizers; 5) Gaj + 3.75 g of fertilizers (g on 1 l of peat). Peat only (without fertilizers) was used as control. Three nursery plant properties were studied: plant height, number of leaves per plant and plant weight (ground parts). The effect of fertilizers on nursery plants was positive. Substrates with fertilizer amounts 1.85 g and 2.5 g/lof peat were the most effective. Favourable results were also achieved using 1.25 g of fertilizer amounts in the substrate. Therefore, the best substrates are recommendable for use in pepper nursery plant production.
