Abstract Purpose. To determine the economic efficiency of growing blackcurrant depending on soil management in inter-rows, near-bush strips, and fertilizer application. Methods. Field, measurement, calculation-comparative, analysis. Results. Among the studied agrotechnological measures, the highest costs were associated with the application of mineral fertilizers – 13.2 thousand UAH/ha (2.90 thousand UAH of ammonium nitrate, 6.84 thousand UAH of granular superphosphate, and 3.47 thousand UAH/ha of potassium sulfate), which is due to their high cost. To apply N60P90K90, 176 kg/ha of ammonium nitrate priced at 16.5 thousand UAH/t, 450 kg/ha of granular superphosphate priced at 15.2 thousand UAH/t, and 180 kg/ha of potassium sulfate priced at 19.3 thousand UAH/t are required. The cost of applying the preparation Riverm ranged from 3.2 to 7.2 thousand UAH/ha depending on its concentration. Mulching near-bush strips with film was the most expensive – 3.14 thousand UAH/ha. The cost of maintaining inter-rows and near-bush strips under bare fallow and straw was the lowest – 0.07–0.20 thousand UAH/ha. The use of the studied agrotechnological measures in growing blackcurrant proved economically profitable. The highest profit – 48.0 thousand UAH/ha – was obtained when growing blackcurrant with inter-rows maintained under bare fallow and application of N60P90K90 + Riverm 3%. At the same time, mulching near-bush strips with straw was more effective – 48.0 thousand UAH/ha. The profitability level was 65.7%. When using film, the profit amounted to 45.1 thousand UAH/ha, which was only 3.1 thousand less compared to mulching with straw. Conclusions. The highest profit – 45.1–48.0 thousand UAH/ha – was ensured by growing blackcurrant on bare fallow in inter-rows with near-bush strips mulched with straw or film and applying N60P90K90 + Riverm 3%. Grass sowing in inter-rows and maintaining near-bush strips under bare fallow were less effective.
