How to get 100% Fertilized (Grapes/Olives)?

[trijjicon]

I sprayed (liquid) with that lil sprayer trailer and got 50%. Went back in with (solid) fert and to High 70's-80ish %. Went back in with liquid and solid but couldn't raise the %. How did some of u get 100%?

Hi, I'll explain the steps I take when I have to plant the olive grove and the vineyard.
First of all I pass the plow, in order to remove everything, then I plant the olive trees or the rows of the vineyard. At this point I give the first spray of fertilizer which gives me 50% of the fertilization. In the meantime I await the second phase of growth, doing other jobs, or simply passing time forward, sleeping or speeding up time with the "8" key on the keyboard (not the numeric keypad).
When the vineyard or olive grove has moved into the second growth phase I spray the fertilizer again, so I get 100% fertilization.
I use the Oxbo sprayer version, before purchasing the DLC I used the Berthoud Vantage 4300 sprayer, which when towed with the small landini I fertilized without problems as the two arms passed without problems over the rows of the vineyard and the saplings of the olive grove. Certainly not realistic, but at least it gave me the certainty of fertilizing everything and not leaving patches of unfertilized soil.
I hope I have been of help to you in some way.

U have indeed been of help. How do I know I am in 2nd growth phase?

Unfortunately, the vineyard and olive grove do not have the same growth phases as other crops and the game info when you go onto the land doesn't tell you anything about it. I follow the logic a bit, since both can be planted in three different months, so I proceed in this way. The first month after planting the vineyard or olive grove, I apply the fertilizer immediately after planting, so I have 50% fertilized, I let a month pass and then I give the second part of the fertilizer. If you have any doubts you can see from the map menu, using the fertilization filter, if it changes from light blue to dark blue it means that you are having 100% fertilization, if however, as has happened to me other times, the field remains light blue, it means that it is not the right time and therefore you continue until the third month where you can give the second phase of fertilizer, so as to obtain 100% of the vineyard or olive grove fertilised.
It's a little complicated to understand at first, then it comes automatically to you.

Sorry for my English, but as I don't know the language I use Google Translate.

You are doing great then with our English. I have a plan now to go by and I thank you.

In my experience Growth Status has no impact on being able to fertilize.
I could always apply a "second coat" of fertilizing after either doing a fieldwork step or if the clock hits midnight and the next month begins.

Like even with normal fields, if i've planted a crop that had a coat of fertilization applied, if i were to wait till 00:01 i could use the sprayer again to get that second fertilization stage.
Same with Olives/Grapes, i just recently did the two Achievements for them.
But with Olives/Grapes I never got to exactly 100% Yield, even with Mulching/Cultivating inbetween Rows and checking the map for that deep blue color.
so I could just be flatout wrong lol.

I can guarantee you that with my method I have always achieved 100% yield. Obviously when it's time to mulch to cut the grass in the field and prune the vineyard you have to do it. While for the olive grove you don't need to prune, but you do shred.

@magicko84... I have a couple of Oxbo pieces but I don't see the Oxbo Sprayer?

[bnorberger]

You can get the Oxbo sprayer by changing the configuration of the harvester. There are 2 harvester configurations and a sprayer configuration all for the same machine.

As bnorberger wrote, when setting up the Oxbo 6030 harvester, you have three configurations. Belt harvester, which in practice if you play in single player you will never need, because the AI of the helpers does not have the script to work in the vineyards and olive groves, the classic harvester with the tank of around 3000 liters and then the sprayer configuration. The convenience of the sprayer configuration of the Oxbo 6030 is the self-levelling of the four arms which in practice follow the irregularity of the soil where the vineyard is planted, so you are sure of spraying everything, furthermore each arm has 4 small tubes positioned so as to spray the fertilizer everywhere, obviously you can also use the sprayer to apply the herbicide/weed killer.
Sorry for my long answers, but it's my flaw to explain everything in detail, I do it because I want the people who read to understand well what I want to express.

[trijjicon]

No need to apologize for being concise. I cringe with the four word answers I get sometimes. I never even thought about the Configurations. I mean it did say Harvester. Countless times I spent running up and down those rows with nothing changing...using liquid, solid fertilizer, and slurry. Also using different sprayer arrangements. But I got it now, I hope... with u guys help. Thanks

I don't deal with grapes and olives but for regular crops what I do is a three step process to get to the second fertilize stage (instead of waiting for the growth stage):
1: Fertilize the field
2: Lime the field
3: Fertilize the field a second time
and that puts me into second stage fertilized right away

[bnorberger]

If anyone is interested in doing a multiplayer game with grapes or olives, invite me as a friend. I could be the host but I'd prefer not to and I have most DLC's but I only use mods that are in the mod hub though.

[trijjicon]

Well... I did the Configuration to Sprayer on the Grape Harvester. Ran between 2 rows up and down and nothing changed. Fertilization was between 50- 80%. It is early June on my playthru. When I checked Filter Fertilization Map, I saw red,green, and dark blue on that section of grapes. Am I not giving it enough time? Or am I in the wrong season?

[iguana0983]

I was into the whole grapes and olives for a short period of my farming experience with FS22. Its not for everyone I get this. I just have more fun doing all the other crops and make as much or more with soybeans and cotton.

I suspected it. If you are playing on a map of the game, including DLC, you have also basically fallen into the bug of some lands that have areas where they are not worked and consequently do not receive fertilizer. I have 2 Elmcreek plots where there are small rectangles which have not been worked since ploughing, with the consequence of not being able to sow in those points and they do not receive either the herbicide or the fertiliser, furthermore activating the weed, in those points do not grow. Unfortunately in this case there is little that can be done, it is precisely the soil that has problems, in addition to the many additions and adjustments that giants must make in the next farming, starting from the irrigation of the fields and greenhouses, it must also fix this problem. But it will certainly turn a deaf ear, because it has no rivals in the agricultural simulation genre.
I'm sorry I can't help you more.
