Farming Simulator 25 Fertilizing Methods
In Farming Simulator 25, crops and vegetables can be fertilized in five different ways. Each method has the same effect, differing only in timing. To achieve full yield potential for a crop, fertilization needs to be applied twice. Each fertilization increases the yield by 23%. When a crop is sown, the yield starts at 50%, and with two rounds of fertilization, it reaches 100%.
Farming Simulator 25 Fertilizing Methods:
- Fertilizing Sowing (Fertilizer is applied during the sowing process)
- Liquid Fertilizer (only after the crop is sown)
- Solid Fertilizer (before or after sowing)
- Liquid Manure (only after the crop is sown, and counts as two fertilization stages)
- Manure (only after the crop is sown, and counts as two fertilization stages)
To check if a farmland needs fertilization, press the ESC > go to Map > navigate to the “Soil Composition” section.
If a field is light blue, it has been fertilized once. If it is dark blue, it has been fertilized twice. If neither of these colors is present, the field needs fertilization.
How to Fertilize While Sowing?
To fertilize during sowing, the seeder must have a fertilizer tank. This process fertilizes the field once. To achieve full yield potential, an additional round of fertilization is required.
If two icons appear in the orange area of the image, the seeder has a fertilizer tank. The second icon represents the type of fertilizer. Depending on the icon, either solid or liquid fertilizer can be added.
To purchase fertilizer, press P (to open the store) > go to Vehicles > Objects > Big Pack Pallet (for solid fertilizer) / Pallet Tanks (for liquid fertilizer). To refill the fertilizer into the seeder, press the R. (The seeder must be close to the fertilizer trigger.)
Spreading Solid Fertilizer on the Field
Usage: Before or after sowing the field.
To Purchase Equipment: Press P (to open the store) > go to Vehicles > Yield Improvements > Fertilizer Spreaders.
To purchase fertilizer: press P (to open the store) > go to Vehicles > Yield Improvements > Consumables > Corteva Solid Fertilizer or Helm Solid Fertilizer Big Bag.
To refill the fertilizer spreading equipment, approach the purchased fertilizer and press the R.
If the fertilizer spreader equipment is folded, press the X key to unfold it, then press the B key to start the fertilizing process.
When fertilizing, if the field is already sown, narrow tires should be used to avoid damaging the crop.
Spreading Liquid Fertilizer on the Field
Usage: After the field has been sowed.
To Purchase Equipment: Press P (to open the store) > go to Vehicles > Yield Improvement > Sprayers.
To purchase fertilizer: press P (to open the store) > go to Vehicles > Yield Improvements > Consumables > Corteva Liquid Fertilizer or Helm Liquid Fertilizer.
To refill the fertilizer sprayer equipment, approach the purchased fertilizer and press the R.
If the fertilizer sprayer equipment is folded, press the X key to unfold it, then press the B key to start the fertilizing process.
Spreading Manure on the Field
Usage: Before sowing the field.manure is obtained solely through livestock farming.
To Purchase Equipment: Press P (to open the store) > go to Vehicles > Yield Improvement > Manure Spreaders.
Manure is obtained solely through livestock farming.
If the manure spreader equipment is folded, press the X key to unfold it, then press the B key to start the fertilizing process.
If fertilization is to be done double in a single application, it must be activated.
Spreading Liquid Manure (Slurry) on the Field
Usage: Before or after sowing the field.
To Purchase Equipment: Press P (to open the store) > go to Vehicles > Yield Improvement > Slurry Tanks.
Liquid Manure is obtained solely through livestock farming.
If the slurry tank equipment is folded, press the X key to unfold it, then press the B key to start the fertilizing process. If fertilization is to be done double in a single application, it must be activated.
