Treated beans rarely pay. Naked beans are all we plant. Treatment cost between 9 and 30 a unit. Treatment needs 1.5 to 5 bpa better to have a roi. Even in trials best case is usually a 3 bpa bump. Lets not forget that 2 of 5 trials naked beans outyield treated. Trial data is usually pretty well hidden when it is not profitable to those products
