Fertilization

[Sarge68]

How much differece does fertilizer make to the yeild? and which trailer do I need to use the liquid fertilizer from the tank by the shed?

[Stevie]

sipma delfin, on the right next to the one for water

It says its for manure will it work on non manure liquids?

manure is also liquid, so yes...

[Sarge68]

so what about the yeild?

[Sarge68]

OK I'm really confused. I have bought the small manure tanker and the large one, but neither of them gives me the option to transfer or fill or whatever at the liquid fertilizer tank at the shed.

Any other ideas??

Also my cow barn area tells me I have 1% liquid manure stored but where?

ok, i found out, the descriptions for the liquid fertilizern are wrong, they only work with slurry, means liquid manure, i´m playing in german and here it says liquid fertilizer wich is wrong. If u want to fertilize your fields u need the green spreaders for that, or u can use liquid manure with the tanks, there is a pipe near the cowbarn where u can load up the tank trailer

The Sipma Anterk and Sipma Boryna use liquid fertilizer purchased from the tank near the shed. They are in the cultivation section. I've only used the smaller Anterk, it works really well. It's easy to attach to tractor and easy to apply to a field.

nope, they use both granulat fertilizer, that one wich goes in greenhouses too, no use for liquid fertlizer in this game...

There doesnt seem to be any implement to apply liquid fertiliser. As previously mentioned the Anterk and Boryna apply granular fertiliser from the bags, the sparayer only applies pesticide and the tankers slurry/liquide manure.

in RL, there is only an expensive liquid fertilizer, urea fertilizer, that is not very commonly used.
the most liquid applied with sprayers you see around is pesticide.

maybe players are asking for liquid fertilizer a lot because FS does not distinquish pesticide.
they just call manure, slurry, granule and liquid as fertilizer. pesticide is not implemented in FS.

that's better in Pure Farming, here spraying is an extra layer, only to be applied after sprouting.
I would guess "liquid artificial fertilizer" is just not implemented.

the rest is just an irritation about the terms used.

i have tried liquid and manure fertilizer atleast on build 1.1.2 and manure fertilizer only ever seemed to fertilize a field by 49% even if i went over a field 100 times, while liquid fertilizer can cover the entire field is this something realistic is manure fertilizer not that great in comparrison or something.
as for the spraying is this done when the crops have actually started to grow because ive gone over a field several times before its started growing and it uses the pesticide but stays at 0%
