Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess from economic point of view a triticale with pea mixture cultivation in ecological production system. Field experiments carried out in the years 2014-2016 in a split-plot design, in 4 replications. The mixtures differentiated of percentage of pea (40, 60, 80%) were compared. The highest production value was obtained from the cultivation of a mixture of triticale with a 40% share of legume crop (2282 zl·ha-1), which was the result of a higher yield level of this mixture. The lowest production value was obtained from growing the mixture with the highest (80%) share of pea (2091 zl·ha-1). The highest level of direct costs was generated by the mixture of triticale with the highest percentage of pea. The highest level of direct surplus was ensured by the mixture with the 40% share of pea. This ratio was higher than the surplus obtained from cultivation of the mixture with 40 and 60% share of legumes by respectively: 7 and 30%.
