See how many bags of grain buy one tonne of fertilizer. The lower the number, the cheaper the fertilizer relative to the grain.
Pre-sizing and estimating tool: the results do not replace a design, calculation, or report signed by a qualified professional, nor verification against the applicable standards.
Bags per tonne when the fertilizer price rises or falls; the highlighted bar is the price you entered.
Bags per tonne at each grain price, with the fertilizer price you entered; the dot is your price.
Drag the controls to simulate data different from what you entered (from 30% less to 30% more) and watch the result change instantly.
Grain bags needed to buy one tonne of fertilizer, for combinations of fertilizer and bag prices around the values you entered.
The calculation done in steps, with the values you entered.
The calculation memo gathers this page's inputs, results, equations, assumptions, and references, with fields for project, responsible person, and review. The full report also includes the charts and interpretations, in color. In the print window, choose Save as PDF.
Enter the fertilizer price per tonne and the grain bag price in your market. The calculator shows how many bags buy a tonne of fertilizer and how much fertilizer one bag pays for.
Fertilizer at R$ 3,000/t and soybeans at R$ 120/bag.
Ratio = 3,000 ÷ 120 = 25 bags per tonne. One bag buys 120 ÷ 3,000 × 1,000 = 40 kg of fertilizer.
No. It measures how many bags of grain you need to sell to buy a tonne of fertilizer. This puts the effect of grain and fertilizer prices into a single measure.
There is no fixed number. Compare with your region's historical average and with last year's: the more bags per tonne, the more grain you need to sell to buy the same fertilizer.
Because fertilizer and grain prices change at different rates. In years when fertilizer rises more than grain, the ratio gets worse.
No. It shows the purchasing power of grain against fertilizer. The buying decision also depends on stock, payment terms, and the technical recommendation.
