'''Fertilizer''' is used to support [[crop]] growth and assist in [[farming]]. Some fertilizer is used by placing it on tilled soil before placing the respective seeds; other fertilizer can be used after planting a seed, as well as during plant growth. Fertilizer affects all crops, including crops grown from [[Crafting#Seeds|Wild Seeds]].
+
'''Fertilizer''' is used to support [[Crops|crop]] and [[Trees|tree]] growth, assisting [[farming]]. There are three types of crop fertilizer, affecting respectively crop quality, speed growth and water retention. There is only one tree fertilizer type, affecting growth speed. A fertilizer is used by placing it on tilled soil or the desired tree. Some crop fertilizers must be placed before the planted seed sprouts, the other fertilizers can be used at any time during plant growth. Each crop fertilizer type has three tiers, and the tree fertilizer has only one tier. Crop fertilizers affect all crops, including crops grown from [[Crafting#Seeds|Wild Seeds]].
  
−
All fertilizer can be [[Crafting#Fertilizer|crafted]], once the required level of [[Farming#Farming Skill|Farming skill]] is reached.  Fertilizer can also be purchased at [[Pierre's General Store]] year-round, or at [[Oasis|The Oasis]] on specific [[Days of the Week|days of the week]].

Fertilizer remains in the soil all season. When the season changes, fertilizer normally disappears. However, there are two exceptions in which fertilizer will remain in the soil:
+
All fertilizer can be [[Crafting#Fertilizer|crafted]]. Recipes for first tier fertilizers are learned once the required level of [[Farming#Farming Skill|Farming]] or [[Foraging#Foraging Skill|Foraging]] skill is reached. Second tier recipes are learned once the required level of [[Farming#Farming Skill|Farming]] skill is reached. Third tier recipes are purchased on [[Ginger Island]]. First and second tier crop fertilizers can also be purchased at [[Pierre's General Store]] year-round, or at [[Oasis|The Oasis]] on specific [[Days of the Week|days of the week]].
−
*If a multi-season [[crops|crop]] (''i.e.'', [[Ancient Fruit]], [[Coffee Bean]], [[Corn]], [[Sunflower]], or [[Wheat]]) is planted in the fertilized tile, and the new season is one in which the crop grows, the fertilizer will remain.
 
−
*Any crop planted in the greenhouse before its normal growing season will retain its fertilizer if the new season is one in which it normally grows.
 
  
−
Removing a crop with a [[Tools|Tool]] like the [[Pickaxes|Pickaxe]] does not remove the fertilizer.  Only one type of fertilizer may be used per soil tile.  
+
Only one type of fertilizer may be used per soil tile. Fertilizer remains in the soil all season. When the season changes, fertilizer normally disappears. However, there are two exceptions in which fertilizer will remain in the soil:
 +
*If a multi-season [[crops|crop]] (''i.e.,'' [[Ancient Fruit]], [[Coffee Bean]], [[Corn]], [[Sunflower]], or [[Wheat]]) is planted in the fertilized tile, and the new season is one in which the crop grows, the fertilizer will remain.
 +
*Fertilizer placed in the [[Greenhouse]] will remain in the soil unless it is un-tilled by a pickaxe.
 +
 
 +
''Note'' that crop quality is determined at harvest time and not at planting time. Prior to 1.5, fertilizer used in the [[Greenhouse]] on crops which would mature out of their normal growing season might disappear before harvest and have no effect.
 +
 
 +
Speed gro affects only the growth and first harvest of a multi-harvest crop. Quality fertilizers ([[Basic Fertilizer]], [[Quality Fertilizer]], and [[Deluxe Fertilizer]]) affect all harvests of a multi-harvest crop.
 +
 
 +
Removing a crop with a [[Tools|Tool]] like the [[Axes|axe]] does not remove the fertilizer.  A second hit with a tool, such as a [[Pickaxes|Pickaxe]] is required to remove the fertilizer and make the tile fallow.

Note that quality is determined at the time of harvest, and not at the time of planting.  For crops that produce multiples at harvest (''i.e.'', [[Coffee Bean]], [[Blueberry]], [[Cranberries]]), [[Basic Fertilizer|Basic]] and [[Quality Fertilizer|Quality]] fertilizers affect only the first crop produced.

See also: Crop Growth Calendars

Fertilizer is used to support crop and tree growth, assisting farming. There are three types of crop fertilizer, affecting respectively crop quality, speed growth and water retention. There is only one tree fertilizer type, affecting growth speed. A fertilizer is used by placing it on tilled soil or the desired tree. Some crop fertilizers must be placed before the planted seed sprouts, the other fertilizers can be used at any time during plant growth. Each crop fertilizer type has three tiers, and the tree fertilizer has only one tier. Crop fertilizers affect all crops, including crops grown from Wild Seeds.

Mechanics

All fertilizer can be crafted. Recipes for first tier fertilizers are learned once the required level of Farming or Foraging skill is reached. Second tier recipes are learned once the required level of Farming skill is reached. Third tier recipes are purchased on Ginger Island. First and second tier crop fertilizers can also be purchased at Pierre's General Store year-round, or at The Oasis on specific days of the week.

Only one type of fertilizer may be used per soil tile. Fertilizer remains in the soil all season. When the season changes, fertilizer normally disappears. However, there are two exceptions in which fertilizer will remain in the soil:

  • If a multi-season crop (i.e., Ancient Fruit, Coffee Bean, Corn, Sunflower, or Wheat) is planted in the fertilized tile, and the new season is one in which the crop grows, the fertilizer will remain.
  • Fertilizer placed in the Greenhouse will remain in the soil unless it is un-tilled by a pickaxe.

Note that crop quality is determined at harvest time and not at planting time. Prior to 1.5, fertilizer used in the Greenhouse on crops which would mature out of their normal growing season might disappear before harvest and have no effect.

Speed gro affects only the growth and first harvest of a multi-harvest crop. Quality fertilizers (Basic Fertilizer, Quality Fertilizer, and Deluxe Fertilizer) affect all harvests of a multi-harvest crop.

Removing a crop with a Tool like the axe does not remove the fertilizer. A second hit with a tool, such as a Pickaxe is required to remove the fertilizer and make the tile fallow.

Crop Quality Ratios

Note that quality is determined at the time of harvest, and not at the time of planting. For crops that produce multiples at harvest (i.e., Coffee Bean, Blueberry, Cranberries), Basic, Quality, and Deluxe fertilizers affect only the first crop produced.

For the complete formula, please see Farming.

With the exception of Quality Fertilizer, crafting Fertilizer is always cheaper than purchasing it.

Each time you craft Speed-Gro or Deluxe Speed-Gro, you receive 5 fertilizers. Each time you craft Quality Retaining Soil, you receive 2 fertilizers, though crafting just one would still be cheaper than purchasing it.

The tables below compare the cost of crafting Speed-Gro or Deluxe Speed-Gro against purchasing them at the Oasis or Pierre's. The cost of crafting is the sell price of the constituent ingredients.

History

  • 1.4: The number of items per craft now shows in the crafting menu before items are in inventory. Speed-Gro and Deluxe Speed-Gro now have an effect if used after planting.
  • 1.5: Added tier three fertilizers. Fertilizer placed in the Greenhouse now lasts until manually removed.
  • 1.6: Crafting recipes changed for Quality Fertilizer, Speed-Gro, and Deluxe Speed-Gro.
