Abstract
Contemporary agro-technology enables high and stabile yield of slicing cucumber throughout
the whole year. This study deals with total costs of production, yield per surface unit and
the main parameters of profitability of producing slicing cucumber in the greenhouses and
in the open field in conventional and organic farming system. Growing cucumbers in the
greenhouses and in accordance with the principles of organic farming are the main conditions
for higher prices in the market. The highest total costs (820.00 EUR/are) but also the highest
gain (225.00 EUR/are) was realized in producing slicing cucumber both in the greenhouse
in the organic farming system. Financial losses were recorded when growing cucumbers
in the open field despite lower costs, both in organic and conventional system of growing:
29.00 EUR/are, i.e. -15.00 EUR/are, respectively. The business rate of profitability and the
coefficient of cost-effectiveness were higher in growing cucumber in greenhouses in both
concepts of production.
