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.

Enter your field size or desired field trial size. (Click ENTER after each field.)
Total NPK Invoice: How much you pay for your entire volume of liquid NPK, for the field size entered above.
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/ acre.
Enter your NPK application rate (gal/ac). The current rate you apply your NPK fertilizer to your field from your planter.
Target Reduction (%). This figure will have the biggest impact on your cost/savings. Play with different values and choose a number you are comfortable with, especially if this is your first year.
Total liquid NPK : The total amount of liquid NPK you will need based on your field size, application rate, and target % reduction.
Adjusted: New values calculated from what you chose as a target % NPK reduction.
Total Field Savings: Your invoice total minus new total cost.

Planter Tank: The size of your planter tank (gal).
Liquid Fertilizer Rate: Your desired application rate, or your NPK application rate from the Cost & Savings calculator.
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 TANK VOLUME: Your new NPK volume + Johnson-Su Extract + TOTAL WATER.
Starter Fertilizer Type: We only recommend low salt starters for single tank set ups, it would be too impractical to dilute high salt fertilizers at 5:1 or 10:1 in a single tank planter.
Total Field Requirements (supply list): Johnson-Su Compost (lbs) and New Reduced total NPK (gal) amount you'll need to complete your field.
Hardware & Pressure Check: Recommended nozzle/flow and pump pressures for microbial viability.
