The aim of the article is to analyze optimization of cropping area of scientifically-based crop rotations in agriculture of Ukraine. Scientific solution of the set tasks required application of statistical data about cropping area in Ukraine, presentation of economic data of cultivated field crops in crop rotations. The authors of the article analyze long-continued research by the scientists of the Institute of Grain Crops of NAAS of Ukraine and suggest that yield capacity is much higher under scientifically-based crop rotations without application of fertilizers than under the variant of no crop rotation applied. The work studies optimization of the number of fields in a crop rotation. It is determined that efficiency of many-field crop rotation secures high level of agrarian production, and for enterprises with a small area of land use, it is the most reasonable to apply short crop rotation.
