The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of productivity formation of soybean varieties of different maturity groups (Annushka - ultra early; Mavka - early ripening; Smuglyanka - mid-ripening), when grown in the Northern Steppe of Mykolaiv region at different plant density (400, 500, 600 and 700 thousand plants per hectare of crop).
According to the results of our research, on average for 2020-2021, it was found that the cost of gross production of the studied soybean varieties ranged from 39195.0 to 57525.0 UAH/ha and had an average value of 47320.0 UAH/ha. The maximum value of gross production in the experiment (57525.0 UAH/ha) was observed on the crops of the Smuglyanka variety, and it was found that it was obtained when the plant density was 500 thousand plants/ha. A similar situation was observed in terms of conditional net profit (35960.0 UAH/ha) and profitability (166.8%). The lowest cost per 1 c of product (731.02 UAH/ton) was observed in the same variant.
