ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF SUNFLOWER PRODUCTION DEPENDING ON TECHNOLOGY

The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of the economic efficiency of sunflower production in the pedoclimatic conditions specific to the outskirts of the city of Timisoara different technological options in the period 2020-2022. The experiment was trifactorial (of the 4 x 3 x 3 type), with 3 factors: D - density; F - fertility; T - technology. Ten plants were chosen from each plot and a series of measurements were made. Based on the values obtained, descriptive statistical indices related to the different technological factors were calculated, namely: arithmetic mean, error of the mean and coefficient of variation. The results showed that the profit had a variation between 849 RON/ha in the case of plants grown at a density of 49,261 g.g./ha on unfertilized agrofund prepared by scarification + ploughing and 1,990 RON/ha for plants grown at a density of 59,524 g.g./ha on the agricultural land fertilized with N50P50K0 and prepared by ploughing. In 55% of cases, the technological variants produced a profit of over 1,500 RON/ha. The research related presented in this paper concerns useful information that will allow superior, high-quality, and sustainable productions under the conditions of the current climate changes.
