This study, and similar studies performed on other vegetable test crops, is aimed at the production of high quality substrate for vegetable production. The base for the preparation of these substrates is Pešter peat, which is, by rank of its physical-chemical qualities, classified in the highest quality group in the world. In addition to peat, for the experimental production of substrates, altogether forty-five, we applied sheep manure, CaCO3, zeolite, and a complex mineral fertilizer 15:15:15, in various combinations and quantities. To be able to determine whether the degree of peat mineralisation affects the quality of pepper seedling production, we produced the substrates in which the peat component is composed only of mineralised peat, semi-mineralised and non-mineralised. Based on the test results, it was conducted that the substrate quality was not affected by the ratio of the mineral and organic peat in it, but the quantity of the added sheep manure and mineral fertilizer. The effect of added quantities of ground limestone and zeolite did not affect the habit of pepper seedlings, which does not mean that the higher quantities of these materials would not have a positive effect. We shall test it in our future experiment.
