Pepper or Capiscum is a flowering plant of the nightshade family. It originates in the Americas (remains from its cultivation found in Mexico in 3,000 BC) and has been introduced to the rest of the world after the 16th century. 50% of all peppers today are grown in China, followed by Mexico, Turkey, Indonesia and Spain.

Capsicums can be cultivated in many types of soil but grow best on deep, loamy and well-drained soils. Soil pH should be in the range of 5.5-7.0. They can develop strong deep tap roots (> 1 m). Uniform slopes are desirable, as they facilitate drainage, but not essential. Depressions in the field can result in flooding.
Ideal growing conditions for peppers include a sunny position with warm loamy soil, ideally 21°C to 29°C, that is moist but not waterlogged. Extremely moist soils can cause seedlings to "damp-off" and reduce germination. The plants will tolerate (but not prefer) temperatures down to 12°C and are sensitive to frost. Capsicum flowering is tightly connected to the length of daytime. The flowers can self-pollinate. However, at extremely high temperature (33°C to 38°C), pollen loses viability, and flowers are much less likely to pollinate successfully.
