The economic analysis is determined by the applied agricultural system, the response of crops to agronomic factors and environmental factors. The aim of this study was to compare the profitability of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) production under different farming systems in north-eastern Europe. Profitability was determined mainly by the cost of farming operations and treatments. The system with the optimal sowing date (B1 - delayed by 10 days in compare to the earliest) and mechanical weed control (D0) generated the highest profits. The value of fenugreek production was determined at USD 1641.0, and the energy efficiency ratio was estimated at 0.53 to 0.60. The most profitable system was B0 – early sowing date, D1 – chemical weed control, where energy inputs reached 9814.3 MJ·ha⁻¹.

Ekonomiczna analiza zastosowanego systemu rolniczego uwarunkowana jest czynnikami agrotechnicznymi i środowiskowymi. Celem badań było porównanie opłacalności uprawy kozieradki pospolitej w warunkach zróżnicowanej agrotechniki północno-wschodniej Europy. Wykazano, że czynnikami warunkującymi opłacalność produkcji tego gatunku były koszty zabiegów agrotechnicznych. Najkorzystniejszą pod względem opłacalności okazała się technologia z optymalnym terminem siewu (B1 – opóźnionym o 10 dni w porównaniu z kontrolą) i mechaniczną regulacją zachwaszczenia (D0). Wartość produkcji kształtowała się na poziomie 1641,0 USD. Wskaźniki efektywności energetycznej wynosiły od 0,53 do 0,60. Najkorzystniejsza była technologia B0 – wczesny termin siewu, D1 – chemiczna ochrona roślin, a poniesione nakłady energii na tę technologię wynosiły 9814,3 MJ·ha⁻¹.
