Treatment Shopping Tip: Consider Price Per Unit Instead of Price Per Gallon
Why Price Per Unit Matters Most for Cereal Seed Treatments
When it comes to protecting your crops, seed treatments are an essential investment. But with a wide range of options available, navigating the pricing landscape can be tricky. Here's a crucial tip to keep in mind:
Focus on price per unit, not price per gallon.
Here's why:
The Price Per Gallon Trap:
Many seed treatment products list their price per gallon. While this might seem straightforward at first glance, it doesn't tell the whole story. Imagine two jugs: one labeled "5 gallons for $100" and another labeled "1 gallon for $30." Based solely on price per gallon, the first option seems cheaper.
However, what if the 5-gallon jug requires a higher application rate, meaning you need to use more product per acre? This could easily negate the initial price advantage. That's where understanding price per unit comes in.
Unveiling the True Cost: Price Per Unit
Price per unit takes the concentration of the product into account. It reveals the actual cost of the active ingredients you're applying per acre. This is why UAS champions the importance of price per unit when choosing any seed treatment.
UAS N-Compass: More Concentrated, More Value
While a competitor's product might boast a seemingly lower price per gallon, it might also require a higher application rate due to its lower concentration. This means you'd be using more product per acre, potentially driving up the overall cost.
N-Compass blends are formulated to be highly concentrated. This translates to a lower application rate, requiring less product per acre. Even if the price per gallon of N-Compass might be slightly higher, the price per unit could be significantly lower due to its superior concentration.
In essence, with N-Compass, you get:
More active ingredients: Our concentrated formulas ensure your crop receives the optimal dosage for maximum protection.
Reduced waste: Lower application rates translate to using less product, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.
Better value for your money: By focusing on price per unit, you can be confident you're getting the most bang for your buck.
