Disease management ROI, scouting program economics, fungicide program comparison, and crop loss valuation — powered by USDA ARS IPM research and NASS commodity data.
Official USDA price received and yield data by commodity, state, and year. Price auto-populates Storage Loss market price (SF17-E.003). Yield provides per-acre quantity reference for drying and storage calculators.
Source: USDA NASS QuickStats. Reference data used as fallback. Not endorsed by NASS.
Monthly USDA WASDE forecast — U.S. production, use, ending stocks, and projected season-average price. Use alongside NASS actuals to stress-test storage loss and drying calculations against forecast price scenarios.
Source: USDA FAS PSD Online (WASDE-aligned monthly forecast). Reference data used as fallback.
Side-by-side view of NASS historical actuals versus USDA WASDE forecast. Fetch both sources first, then select a commodity to compare. Use the price difference to run scenario analysis in the economics calculators.
Tip: Use the WASDE forecast price in economics calculators to model best-case / worst-case ROI scenarios alongside the NASS actual.
Calculate net return per acre from a complete disease management program including scouting, fungicide applications, and yield response. Evaluates full-season profitability versus untreated check.
Evaluate the return on investment of a structured disease scouting program by quantifying early detection value, avoided losses, and optimized application timing savings.
Compare two fungicide programs (e.g., single vs. double application, generic vs. branded) on net return per acre. Accounts for cost difference, efficacy difference, and commodity value.
Quantify the total economic impact of a disease outbreak across a farming operation including direct yield loss, quality discounts, replant costs, and forward contract exposure.
Built on USDA-ARS crop protection economics research — AgrStak SF17 economics calculators help crop consultants, agronomists, and grain producers quantify the financial value of disease management programs. From net return on fungicide investment to crop loss impact modeling, these 4 tools turn disease management decisions into measurable ROI.
Models are anchored in USDA-ARS fungicide efficacy trial data and integrated disease management economic thresholds. Part of AgrStak's 431-model platform — patent pending.
