How to Fertilize in Farming Simulator 25

You can’t have a successful farm on Farming Simulator 25 without fertilizing. It’s the best way to reliably improve your harvests. If you’re unsure how it works and need help getting started, this short article is for you! Let’s talk about how to fertilize and what exactly you will need.

How Fertilizing Works in FS25

Fertilizing your crops once per cycle is essential. However, you must do it twice to get the best possible yields. First, do it immediately after you finish your sowing or planting. Then, do it once more once the seeds have fully sprouted. That being said, it is possible to overfertilize by doing the two rounds super close to one another or doing this to the wrong crop type.

For example, if you are growing grass, it will only need to be fertilized once. Also, if you use slurry or manure, you will only need to fertilize once, but it will take twice as long as other methods.

What fertilizers are in Farming Simulator 25?

Let’s talk about the main types of fertilizers in Farming Simulator 25, their pros and cons, and how they compare to one another in terms of use and application:

• By-products. This is a cheap and sustainable way to fertilize your crops. Coming from your animal farm side of the farm, you will have options for manure, slurry, and digestate. To use your animal products as fertilizers, you will need some extra machinery: a manure spreader for manure, a digestate tanker for digestate, and a slurry tanker for – you guessed it – slurry.
• Solid and liquid fertilizers. It’s a more expensive but much more convenient fertilizer option. You can instantly buy the fertilizers in-game, and you will need a sprayer for liquid fertilizers and a spreader for solid options.
• Catch crops are an interesting fertilizing option. They are smart but somewhat less often used. Simply plant oilseed radish and then whatever you want over it.
