Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the productive and economic effects of different production intensities of spring wheat. The study was based on the results of a two-year (2015-2016) field study, conducted at the Agricultural Experimental Station in Osiny, belonging to the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation in Pulawy. Spring wheat cultivars (Arabella and KWS Torridon) were grown using intensive and integrated technologies. The technologies studied differed in the level of mineral fertilization and chemical plant protection. The cultivation of spring wheat of the KWS Torridon cultivar according to intensive technology, as compared with cultivation under conditions of integrated technology, resulted in a significant increase in grain yield by 10.6%, respectively. On the other hand, no effect of production technology was found on the yield of the Arabella cultivar. The research showed that the technology intensity level, determined by inputs of production means, determined the structure of direct costs and profitability of spring wheat cultivars. The compared technologies ensured the profitability of spring wheat grain production. The most advantageous index of direct profitability was recorded for the Arabella cultivar grown under integrated technology.
