Soybean is the main legume crop in the world, and it is widely used in the feed, food, technical, and medical industries. The beneficial properties of soybeans, including high protein content, agrotechnical value, and high cost of products, contribute to the expansion of sown areas. The economic efficiency of agrotechnological measures for growing soybeans is a rather important indicator, since the possibility of introducing them into production depends on the payback of new technology elements. The profitability of soybean cultivation depends significantly on market prices for fertilizers and product prices.
The article provides a calculation of the economic efficiency of using soybean inoculation with the preparation Histik, pre-sowing treatment of seeds with the mycorrhizal-forming preparation Mycofriend, and foliar feeding with StimOrganic in the technology of crop cultivation. It was found that in the conditions of the Western Forest-Steppe on gray forestal superficially gleyed soils, the highest level of profitability was obtained for sowing the Mozart variety when using seed inoculation with the preparation Histik (0.4 kg/t), pre-sowing treatment of seeds with Mycofriend (1.5 l/t) and foliar feeding with StimOrganic (2 l/ha): in 2023 – 79.6% (with an indicator on the control plot of 65.5%), in 2024 – 97.1% (on the control – 82.6%). Using the same cultivation technology, the Titan variety provided profitability indicators of 64.8% (in the control – 48.3% in 2023) and 89.6% (in the control 81.8% in 2024)
