The article examines the economic efficiency of organizing plant protection systems under the conditions of agricultural modernization and digital transformation. The study emphasizes the importance of optimizing resources, introducing innovative biological and agroecological protection methods, and using digital technologies to improve the sustainability of crop production. Economic evaluation of plant protection systems requires balancing biological effectiveness and cost efficiency while minimizing environmental risks. The research identifies the key economic parameters influencing plant protection efficiency, such as input costs, labor productivity, crop yield, and reduction of pest-related losses. The study also explores the integration of precision agriculture, remote sensing, and data analytics for monitoring pest dynamics and improving decision-making in pest control strategies. By comparing traditional and digitalized protection systems, the author demonstrates the potential economic gains from automation, integrated pest management, and resource-saving technologies. The paper concludes that achieving high economic efficiency in plant protection depends on harmonizing economic, environmental, and technological factors within the national agricultural strategy framework.
