How high is each yield bonus

[Symbiont]

...for plowing, spraying, bee hives and so on? Just wondering whether it's better to have large fields being less worked on (especially No-Till) also meaning less equipment expenses vs. small fields being intensively improved by the various techniques, also meaning much more equipment and time needed. Thanks in advance!

It's all in the help menu, but here is a rundown:

"Improvements" are divided into two types: yield increase and prevention of yield loss.

Improving yield:
+5% Mulching after harvest. (Removing small leftover stumps from crops).
+15% Spreading lime after eacht third harvest.
+23% Per fertilization stage (there are 2 stages, so +46% after fertilizing twice).

Preventing yield loss:
+15% Plowing after certain crops (corn, potatoes, sugarcane and sugarbeets).
+20% Removing weeds.

For removing weeds you have three options:
- Weeding, only works in the smallest growth stage of weeds and does not remove 100%.
- Tilling, works through the medium growth stage of weeds, also does not remove 100%.
- Spraying herbicide. Works until before the last growth stage. Removes 100% of weeds unless weed is already fully grown.

Furthermore, one thing to keep in mind: Your harvester will be less efficient and cause yield loss when harvestiing if it is not fully repaired.

Thanks a lot! Couldn't find the exakt numbers in the ingame help somehow

Rolling should give another 5% boost right? when i use a roller after cultivating, or after seeding, the ground looks way way cleaner too. i think you roll the Stubble Silage back into the ground. im not entirely sure if the order matters, (pre or post seeding, the roller makes the ground look the same) but one seems to turn the silage stubble state into a seedbed state on the map

Yeah I think that is an alternative to mulching.

oh ive been using both starting with mulching>cultivating> then u can do either seeding first, or rolling first, it seems rolling first creates the seedbed state.
