Pepper, as a vegetable crop grown primarily for nutritional purposes, is valued for its taste and content of vitamins and minerals. It is consumed both raw and processed. Weeding of vegetable crops leads to a decrease in yields, a deterioration in the nutritional quality of production, a decrease in the efficiency of operation of agricultural machinery and to financial losses of the farmer. There is currently no suitable herbicide that is effective against weeds from secondary weeding and is selective for the crop. There is also no data on the implementation of Dropleg pepper technology. This article addresses issues related to the biometrics of the piper plant and the application of Dropleg herbicide application technology with two types of TeeJet 15003 and TeeJet 11003 nozzles located 0.15 m, 0.20 m and 0.25 m from the soil surface. The optimum height at which there is no risk of treating the pepper leaf mass of the TeeJet 15003 is proven to be 0.20 m and for the TeeJet 11003 it is 0.25 m with a transverse irregularity of less than 5%.
