PROFITABILITY POTENTIAL OF THE CROP PRODUCTIONS IN SLOVAK REGIONS

Journal Title: FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA - Year 2008, Vol 47, Issue 1

Abstract

This paper states particular potential rates of solids production and profitability of the production for the most occuring soil types, cathegories of steepness, skeletallity, soil depth and granularity. the calculation confirms the high correlation of profitability and natural yield of the crop production. Sustainable positive profitability in the crop production is expectable only in the regions with Molic Fluvisols, Chernozems, haplik Luvisols, Fluvisols, albic luvisols and Planosols contribution. the other regions depend on the subsidiary economic impulses. the analysis of the chosen soil parameters has generally shown that under recent economic conditions is the crop production without subsidiary impulse profitable only in lowlands and slopes to 7 o , in deep soils, without skeleton, as to granularity medium heavy soils. this finding does not have to refer to a particular crop. heterogenity of the Slovak soils and their characteristics implicitly brings different pro- ductive and economic potentials of individual regions. Positive potential of the profitability rate of the crop production can be expected in Bratislava, Trnava, Nitra and Trenčín municipality. according to the classification of the regions into the agricultural productive areas profitability potential is positive only in maize and beet production region. according to the dividing of the Slovak territory into so called lF a (less favoured areas) profitable regions are not included into this system, or the regions with specific disadvantages as well.this report analyses in detail both the text and the graphic form above mentioned differencies in potentials of producing the biomass as well as profitability of its production regarding the soil characteristics and agricultural relevant regions
