The aim of the present study was to establish the influence of leaf fertilizer Masterblend 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. The leaf fertilizer Masterblend was applied in doses 1.5 g dm-3,3.0 g dm-3 and 6.0g dm-3. The pollen fertility, number of seed 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. Masterblend improved seed formation and seed productivity of pepper. The most appropriate concentration for Kurtovska kapia 1619 was 3- O g dm'3 while for Bulgarski rotund it was 1.5 g dm-3, where yield increased by 20.12% and 36.53%, respectively. The germinability was higher in comparison to seeds from non-treated plants.
