Maximize Soil Equity: Biological Integration
Transition to a high-efficiency biological system by reducing synthetic fertilizer inputs by 10-20% and filling the gap with Premium Johnson-Su extract. This strategy introduces our lab-certified microbial workforce into your soil with minimal to no additional expenditure, often yielding immediate savings.
The Path to Biological Equilibrium
Immediate Action: Replace a fraction of synthetic inputs with concentrated microbiology.
Long-Term Strategy: Scale fertilizer reductions annually as soil tilth and nutrient cycling improve.
The Objective: Reach a state of Biological Equilibrium where synthetic inputs are reduced to just 10-20% of original levels, and your field is powered by a self-sustaining biological ecosystem.

BIOLOGICAL COST & SAVINGS CALCULATOR
Enter your field size or desired field trial size. (Click ENTER after each field.)
Johnson-Su Compost Cost. Price per acre will auto-load and update based on field size, our pricing tier, and recommended application rate for in furrow of 1 pound per acre.
Enter your current NPK application rate (gal/ac). The rate you will apply your NPK fertilizer to your field from your planter.
Current Total NPK Volume: The total amount of liquid NPK you normally use for your entire field, or per field of crops.
Total NPK Invoice: How much you pay for your entire volume of liquid NPK, total or per field/crop, for one season.
Target Reduction (%). Hover cursor over (i) for suggestions. This figure will have the most impact on your cost/savings. Play with different values and choose a number you are comfortable with, especially if this is your first year.
Conventional Baseline: Your current total NPK liquid volume & NPK cost, and NPK cost per acre.
Adjusted Baseline: Your new total NPK volumes and costs at target % reduction, and your new adjusted total cost (reduced NPK + JSu cost) per acre.

Logistics: The "In-Field" Impact
Enter field size. (Click enter to jump fields.)
Planter Tank: The size of your planter tank (gal).
Liquid Fertilizer Rate: Your new NPK application rate from the Cost & Savings calculator (above section).
Johnson-Su Extract: Our recommended application rate of 1 lb. compost/5 gal water/ac = 5 gal/ac. Change to zero if you want to see results with ONLY fertilizer.
Total Liquid Volume (gal) FINAL TOTAL TANK VOLUME: Your new NPK volume + Johnson-Su Extract + TOTAL WATER.
Starter Fertilizer Type: We only recommend low salt starters due to single tank mixing and it would be too impractical to apply 5:1 or 10:1 diluted high salt fertilizers.
Total Field Requirements (for ordering): Johnson-Su Compost (lbs) and New Reduced total NPK (gal) you'll need to complete your field.
Hardware & Pressure Check: Recommended nozzle/flow and pump pressures for microbial viability.
Estimated total planting time (hrs & min/ac). How long it will take you to finish your entire field (hrs).
