ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION OF DIFFERENT TILLAGE SYSTEMS IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
Abstract
The application of different tillage systems also has an economic dimension of justification. Agroeconomics 2024/2025 an experiment with wheat on an area of 1 ha was established on the experimental field of the Research and Development Institute "Tamiš" from Pančevo, which was grown in a system of conventional and zero tillage. The aim of this research was to determine the economic benefits that can be realized depending on the applied soil cultivation system. The comparability of the results was achieved by calculating the gross coverage margin (Gcm) and the coefficient of economy of production (Cep). Both indicators (Gcm=132,898 dinars; Cep=3.5 dinars) are higher in the case of wheat cultivation in the zero-tillage system than in the case of conventional tillage.
