The objective of the study was evaluation of the impact of combinations of substrates and volume modules on some morphological parameters of pepper seedling. The experiment was conducted in 2011 in Shtime, Kosovo. Seeds were planted in polisterol modules with volume combinations as follows: 75 ml volumes; 55 ml and 25 ml. For each variation of the volume of these modules were used combinations of substrates: peat 100%; peat 75% + vermiculite 25%; peat 50% + vermiculite 50%; peat 25% + vermiculite 75%: peat 25% + vermiculite 25% + vermicompost 50%. For the planting were used hybrid pepper seeds of "Bounty F1" of Seminis Company. The experiment was set on randomized block scheme in three repetitions. During the experiment the following properties were evaluated: plant height (cm), root length (cm), stem diameter (mm) and leaf area (cm2). According to the derived results, in the seedling stage of the pepper maturity (age 50 days), the volume of modules and combination of substrates have had significant impact on the development of vegetative parameters. The best combination has proved to be with the following module combinations turf 100% and combination peat 25% + vermiculite 25% + vermicompost 50% and volume 75%.
