Find your economic optimum
Where is the economic optimum?
This calculator helps determine the economically optimal nitrogen application rate. Profitability is influenced by two key factors:
The price of your grain
The price of fertilizer
The row highlighted in blue shows the additional yield (dt/ha) achieved through nitrogen fertilization vs. no fertilization. The values below indicate the additional revenue per hectare generated at the respective nitrogen application rates shown in Column C.
By reviewing these values, you can quickly identify the economic optimum of nitrogen fertilization under current market conditions.
By adjusting the grain price and fertilizer price in Column B, all values in the table are updated automatically.
How to use the calculator

Enter your grain price and NAC fertilizer price.
Identify the yield increase at which the additional revenue becomes positive.
No one knows the yield potential of your fields better than you. The calculator provides valuable support and greater confidence in making nitrogen fertilization decisions.
