Stuck at 50 percent fertilized

[melita]

I have been trying to figure out how to get 100 percent fertilize, no matter what I do it doesn't go higher than 50 percent. Obviously missing 50 percent of somethingI have sprayed, layed lime. nothing .. any help out their...good thing my daily job is not a farmer or all would starve.

Fertilize - Lime - Fertilize - Seed.

Or, which is probably your problem: you can't fertilize twice in the same growth stage.

Usually I do lime - fertilize - culti/seed - fertilize

I had this issue and here's what you do. You have to wait until the crops come up or until the fertilier is the darker stage. Then you can fertilize the field again. You will get 100%. It took me a while to figure this out.

There are two stages of fertilizing;

First stage, is the light blue stage that's 50%
Second stage, is the dark blue stage once it's get to this stage you can fertilize again and you'll see you crops show up from ground and the field is dry. Then after you fertilize the field again. You should be at 100%. And to be sure, you can always get out of the tractor and walk on the field and it will show the description and what state you have fertilize the field.

I hope this helps.

Thank you very helpful, I have put so much attention to expanding my fields and cutting trees I had not noticed this until today.

i use the Oilseed Radish often times as a prep.... that gets me to 100 when I seed and fertilize at the same time

[Sigmund]

Example 1:
1. Harvest Crop
2. Fertilize (you get 50%)
3. Cultivate/Plow
4. Fertilize (you get 100%)

Example 2: (With a all in 1 seeder/cultivator/fertilizer machine like the Condor for example)
1. Harvest Crop
2. Use the "all in 1" Seeder/cultivator/fertilizer (you gain 50%)
3. Wait for crop to grow one or more stages
4. Fertilize (you get 100%)

Or let's say you are using a Planter (Corn, Sunflowers, Beet, Cotton) , these come without fertilizer or cultivating, and these crops also require plowing.

Example 3: (with a planter)
1. Harvest Crop
2. Fertilize (50%)
3. Plow
4. Fertilize (100%)

or

1. Harvest
2. Plow
3. Fertilize (50%)
4. Plant
5. Fertilize (100%)


Alternatively you can simply do the old fashioned way of
of fertilizing once in each Crop growth stage.

1. Crop Growth 1 stage
2. Fertilize (50%)
3. Crop Growth 2 stage
5. Fertilize (100%)

(can fertilize at any stage, though once crop becomes ready for harvest you can't fertilize anymore)

Very useful thanks,

You have to fertilize twice at different stages. After you fertilize once wait until after the next growth cycle then you can fertilize again. I would imagine that you have been trying to do it twice on the same stage of growth which won't work.
