Pepper Seed Treatment by Chemical Soaking: Methods and Key Technical Points
Chemical soaking of seeds. To control pepper anthracnose and bacterial spot disease, pre-soak the seeds in clean water for 5-6 hours, then place them in a 1% copper sulfate solution (that is, 1 gram of copper sulfate mixed with 99 parts clean water) and soak for 5 minutes, then remove them, rinse with clean water, and proceed to sprouting; formalin (40% formaldehyde) at a 150-fold dilution can also be used to soak the seeds for 15 min...

To control viral disease, pre-soak the seeds for 5-6 hours, remove them, then place them in a 10% trisodium phosphate solution and soak for 15 minutes, or soak the seeds in a 2% sodium hydroxide solution for 15 minutes, then rinse and sprout.
