ABSTRACT
The present study aimed to assess the profitability of the cultivation of spelt wheat cv. Rokosz in
different variants of fungicide protection and nitrogen fertilization. It was conducted in 2019-2021 with
four fungicide protection variants and four nitrogen fertilization levels as experimental factors. Study
results demonstrated significant grain yield and production profitability differences between cultivation
variants and individual study years. In 2019, the most profitable turned out to be the spelt cultivation
variant without the fungicide treatment and with nitrogen fertilization at 100 kgꞏha-1; in 2020, it was
the variant without chemical treatment against fungal diseases and with nitrogen fertilization at 70
kgꞏha-1; in 2021, it was the variant with the fungicide treatment and with nitrogen fertilization at 70
kgꞏha-1. Despite lower grain yields achieved on the plots with extensive spelt production technology,
these cultivation variants ensured higher incomes due to lower production costs. In addition, these
technologies reduced the workload and had a lesser adverse impact on the natural environment than
intensive plant cultivation, which is desirable in the context of sustainable development assumptions.
