In Romania, the pepper culture is established exclusively by planting seedlings, which is why more attention must be paid to this technological link. For peppers, the germination of the seeds is slower, but to increase the germination capacity this experiment was carried out. As biological material, the Alexandru variety was used, 3 rhizogenous products for seed wetting, respectively, Raiza 0.2%, Keramin 0.25% and Kerafol 0.25% and 2 time cycles for seeds wetting, 6 h and 12 h, compared with non-wet seeds and seeds wet only in water 24 h. It was found that the best results regarding seed germination were recorded after wetting the seeds with 0.25% Keramin, for 12 hours and after wetting the seeds in water 24 h. Biometric features of the seedlings were more influenced by treating the seeds with 0.25% Keramin for 6 hours. Also, all the rhizogenic products led to better results compared to the non-wet seeds and to almost similar results as the seeds wet in water for 24 h.
