The experiment was conducted within a solarium, in Bucharest, in 2013. It was a two-factor experiment, in which factor A was represented by the species – tomatoes, capsicum and eggplants, while factor B was the stimulating product, Tecamin raiz 0.2% and Humusil 0.2%, applied at an interval of seven days after the pricking out, until planting the seedlings. The purpose of the experiment was to establish the influence of stimulating products on the growth of tomato, capsicum and eggplant seedlings and to evaluate the quality of the seedlings obtained through this experiment. The seedlings were produced on a peat substrate, with a pH value of 5.5-6.5. After processing the data, it could be observed that the stimulating products had a positive influence on the growth of tomato, capsicum and eggplant seedlings in what regards the height of the plant, number of leaves, thickness of the stem, volume of the root system and plant biomass. Strong correlations were established between the main parameters that characterize the quality of the seedling for all studied species, which allow recommending the used products for application in the technology for seedling production.
