Economic efficiency of winter rapeseed cultivation depending on the influence of technology elements in the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the studies conducted during 2012-2015 on common chernozem in the Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine with winter rapeseed of the Chempion Ukrainy variety. The influence of the terms and methods of sowing and main tillage on seed yield was determined, which affected the indicators of the economic efficiency of crop production. Their determination justifies the expediency of combining the following elements: sowing in the first decade of September in rows (row spacing width 15 cm) on the background of ploughing by 25-27 cm (as the main tillage). This technology on average for 2013-2015 provided the highest level of yield – 4.54 t/ha and the following economic indicators: conditional net profit of 18.8 thousand UAH/ha, profitability – 113.6%, cost of 1 tonne of seeds – 4.5 thousand UAH
