Enter your crop, acres, price, and PDG product. The tool shows whether the selected yield response can pay for the product, how much product is needed, and the safest next step.
The main result is conservative: yield response only, with no optional input-saving assumption.
Use Annual yield ROI for normal crop economics. Use Problem-zone treatment for weak spots. Use Soil recovery / long-term productivity improvement when historical production records show persistent underperformance. Use Reclamation / establishment project for revegetation, hydroseeding, erosion control, or disturbed areas.
Enter the realistic yield you expect without the PDG product. The selected response percentage is applied to this base yield.
Use your local cash bid, contract price, or internal planning value. Higher crop value makes each added bushel more valuable; lower crop value requires a stronger field response.
Rate is expressed per acre. For liquid products use L/ac. For ZaharaGrow Mini-Granules use kg/ac. If your field recommendation is in lb/ac, convert to kg/ac before entering the rate.
This is a planning price. It can represent trial, grower-adoption, distributor, retail, or volume pricing. Use the actual PDG quote when available.
Many small growers buy inputs directly from a dealer and do not have a structured fertility program to optimize. In that case, no input-saving scenario is assumed. Larger farms with a managed program can optionally test efficiency-saving scenarios.
Use 1% for conservative planning, 3% for a moderate response, 5% for a strong response, and 10% only when a clear agronomic limitation may allow a very strong field response.
No. Use 0% for dealer-purchase/no-formal-program situations. Use this only when a real input reduction, program adjustment, or efficiency gain is planned and can be validated.
Use this for soil recovery, long-term productivity improvement, or reclamation projects. It annualizes the treatment cost over the expected benefit period instead of treating the full cost as a one-season input.
Net return is the estimated profit or loss per acre from yield response only. Break-even is the minimum added yield needed to pay for product + application. Product required shows the logistics scale of the program.
This view appears when the objective is soil recovery, long-term productivity improvement, reclamation, establishment, or problem-zone treatment.
PDG does not provide tax advice. For fields with documented poor productivity or soil-recovery needs, growers may wish to ask their accountant whether the treatment should be recorded as an annual farm input, soil-improvement expense, land-improvement investment, or eligible cost under available agricultural programs.
This estimate helps the grower and PDG quickly understand whether the opportunity is small-volume, drum-scale, tote-scale, or larger. It also helps PDG estimate potential order volume.
