With these new tools available online, growers enter a product’s package size, price per package, rate per acre, and length of control, and the cost-in-use calculator displays that product’s monthly cost per acre, allowing growers to identify the most cost-effective solutions on the market.
“Understanding the different factors that contribute to your monthly cost per acre is the first step in understanding the true cost of a pesticide program beyond the product’s price tag,” says John Wendorf, Customer Marketing Manager for Ornamentals. “We developed these calculators to give growers the ability to finally compare the true cost of pesticide programs — apples to apples — and discover potential cost savings for their operations.”
