Viruses carried on peppers cannot be killed like other bacteria, and can only be destroyed after certain drugs are processed. According to the characteristics that the pepper virus is sensitive to alkaline drugs and is easily deactivated by alkaline drugs, alkaline drugs are mainly used to soak seeds. The commonly used disinfectant lye has 100 times potassium permanganate solution, 10 times trisodium phosphate solution, and 100 times sodium hydroxide solution. When soaking, first soak the seeds with warm water and then soak in the liquid for 20-30 minutes. After the soaking is completed, clean the residual lye on the seeds with clean water. In order to kill the epidermis of the pepper seed and passivate the virus, in order to reduce the occurrence of diseases, it is best to sterilize the seed before the seeds are soaked and germinated. The following method can be taken: Put the seeds in hot water of 50°C-55°C, soak at constant temperature for 15-20 minutes, stir continuously, add hot water when the water temperature drops, keep the water temperature between 50°C-55°C, add cold water drop after 20 minutes. To 20 °C -30 °C. Soak it with 10% sodium phosphate solution for 20 minutes and rinse with clean water. Disinfect the seeds and place in water at about 25°C. After soaking for about 12 hours at room temperature, soaking and germination are performed.

Germination should be better in a thermostatic chamber. The suitable temperature for germination is 28°C-30°C. In order to make the seeds evenly heated, they should be flipped up and down twice a day. The towels on the top and bottom must be kept moist, and the permeability should be better. Before sprouting, it should be washed 1-2 times a day. After 4-5 days, the shoots can reach 70% or so. When the shoot length is 1 mm, seeds can be planted on a daily basis.
