It is determined that crop cultivation systems (continuous culture and its interruption by crop rotation links with different fertilizer backgrounds) influence the productivity and economic efficiency    of tomato and cucumber cultivation under rainfed   conditions in Right-Bank of Forest-Steppe zone in  Ukraine. Reported calculations show the increased level of profitability of the continuous crop growing in case  of interruption by annual crop rotation link against the background of mineral nutrition, but additional organic fertilizers allow to get more profit per unit area.
