Results of a partial budget analysis of input traits for corn production are useful for assessing the economic value of various pest control systems. Input traits include various insect and weed management technologies and the various stacked combinations of these traits, in addition to management costs such as fuel, labor, and application costs under various management scenarios. Pest losses are driven off of equations or constants derived from University and Pioneer derived efficacy and yield data.
