The article presents the results of the research of cultivation technology of topinambur with perennial legumes and grasses in the Republic of Karelia. The highest dry mass yield (9.3 t/ha) has been achieved by joint agrophytocenosis with Helianthustuberosus L. in comparison with the control of timothy grass + brome grass + clover (7.9 t/ha). Inclusion of topinambur has increased productivity of perennial stands of grass (7.99 thousand fodder units, 97.0 GJ of metabolizable energy, 1.34 t of crude protein per 1 ha). On the basis of economic and energy efficiency, it has been proved that agrophytocenoses of topinambur and perennial legumes and grasses are the most economically efficient. The maximum value of the agro-energy coefficient in terms of metabolizable energy has been obtained in the following variant: timothy grass + brome grass + clover + topinambur.
