Crop Diseases V1.0

Crop Diseases V1.0

Crop Diseases adds a complete system of diseases and pests for crops to the game. Fields can now become infested depending on crop condition, soil management, moisture, weeds, stubble and growth stage. Threats develop in levels: low, medium and high. If the field is neglected, the disease or pests will begin to spread more and reduce the potential yield.
