Abstract

Cotton yield monitors are a new technology and their costs have not been thoroughly evaluated. This research evaluated yield gains and input savings required to cover the cost of a monitor. Spreading monitor costs over multiple VRT decisions reduces the required yield gain or cost savings for any one decision.
