A cost comparison of Chemigation vs. other application methods   This comparison is based on a grower with five circles of 130 acres.  This comparison assumes a total of 650 acres applied per season.  It also assumes that the grower paid the full list price of $4,205 on a 110-gallon Agri-Inject chemigation system.   Chemical costs are not included in the comparison since they will be virtually the same for all application methods (though research indicates that chemical costs can actually be less by using chemigation!).   A 10-year period is shown because a properly maintained Agri-Inject chemigation system should perform for at least 10 years - and usually much longer.   10 Year Cost Comparison Year Air Applications Ground Applications Custom Applied Chemigation Grower Applied w/ Agri-Inject Unit @ $6.00/acre @ $4.50/acre @ $3.00/acre @ $4,205/Unit   Accum.
