During the period 2017-2019 in the experimental field of RIMSA-Troyan by the block method in four replications, were tested the following bird's foot trefoil cultivars: 'Targovishte 1' (Bulgaria), 'Alvena’, 'Lotanova’ and 'Frilo’ (Italy), 'Polom’ (Slovakia), 'Bonnie’ (France), 'Bull’ (Canada). The economic efficiency and the economic indicators were determined on the basis of reported seed yield. The obtained results show that 'Lotanova’ achieved the highest seed productivity (0.39 t.ha-1), with the lowest cost price (33.10 BGN/t) and the highest profitability rate (509.04%), which makes it suitable for growing in mountain conditions. The established strong correlation dependence between the yield with the gross income and the gross profit of 'Lotanova’ determines the economic effect of the introduction of this cultivar for production in practice.
