Field Requirements
Seed Production of O.P. Pepper Lines

rice
Ideally, select a field where the previous crop was a legume or a cereal. Avoid fields where the previous crop was pepper. This prevents the new seed crop from being contaminated with pollen or seeds from volunteer pepper plants. Volunteer plants are seedlings that emerge from unsown seeds.

Avoid fields where the previous crop was sweet potato or a Solanaceous crop (tomato, pepper, eggplant, and white potato). This prevents the build-up of diseases and insects.
