Economic effectiveness of seed lentil (Lens culinaris Medic.) production

The study included two varieties of edible lentil Tina and Anita, grown in diverse technologies: low-, medium- and high-input. Increasing of the cultivation intensity of lentils resulted in higher values of the seed yield, direct costs, direct surplus, the index of economic efficiency, and the cost of seeds production. The largest increase in direct surplus, 101% for the cultivars, was obtained by increasing the intensity of lentil production from low-input to medium-input technology. Anita was characterized by favorable indexes of economic efficiency compared to the cultivar Tina.
