Abstract

The improvement of the competitiveness of agricultural products and ensuring food security of the country are the most important tasks of agriculture. All the changes due to the introduction of new cultivation technologies or improvement of old ones should be justified and expedient. Increasing potato production in Russia to provide the population with food and for export to European countries through the use of a two-crop culture is promising. This technology is used mainly in the southern regions of the country, but due to recent climate warming, namely, an increase in the growing season, the sum of active temperatures can be used in the middle zone. The economic and energy efficiency of early potato production in two-crop culture was carried out. The cultivation technology is standard. The experiments were carried out three times. Variants in the experiment were placed by a randomized method. The area of one experimental plot is 25 m2. We used the following varieties: Luck, Zhukovsky early, Bullfinch, Red Scarlet and Meteor. Planting dates – when warming the soil to 6.. 8 °C – May 4. The second landing was carried out on July 15. The first harvest was carried out on July 15, and the second harvest on September 25. One crop option was harvested on August 25th. The production of early potatoes in a two-crop crop is efficient. Proof of this is an increase in total productivity by 1.54 t·ha–1, revenue from products sold and net income by 243.68 thousand rubles, as well as an increase in profitability by 32.6 %. The efficiency of potato production in two-crop crops is also evidenced by the energy efficiency coefficient, which is higher than 0 and amounts to 0.81.
