We consider various processes of single top production at LHC in the theoretical framework of the MSSM and examine the role of the supersymmetric electroweak one-loop corrections in a special moderately light SUSY scenario, in an initial parton-pair c.m. high energy range where a logarithmic asymptotic expansion of Sudakov type can be used. We show that the electroweak virtual effects are systematically large, definitely beyond the relative 10% size, particularly for a final tH{sup -} pair where a special enhancement is present. We show then in a qualitative way the kind of precision tests of the model that would be obtainable from accurate measurements of the energy distributions of the various cross sections and of the top polarization asymmetries.
