Fertilizers (Items)
In Agriculture, fertilizers are used to amend soil nutrients and can be crafted at the Farmer's Table. They change the value of the primary plant nutrients: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). Multiple different types can be crafted at the Farmer's Table by combining items with different fillers.
Soil composition
A player using the Soil Sampler can determine the composition of the soil: temperature, moisture content, and nutrients. As plants deplete nutrients through Farming, a farmer can replenish the Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) levels through applying different fertilizers. Caring for soil nutrients is key to achieving continual high yields and optimum growing conditions. To learn more about controlling temperature and moisture content see Agriculture.
Types of Fertilizers
There are multiple different types of fertilizer that can be crafted at the Farmer's Table, each with their own recipe and effects. A comprehensive overview of fertilizer types (as of 0.9.0.3) follows:
| Name | Level Needed | Nitrogen | Phosphorous | Potassium | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Berry Extract Fertilizer | 3 | 1 | 3 | 4.8 | 40 Huckleberries 1 Composite Filler |
| Blood Meal Fertilizer | 1 | 3 | 0.4 | 0.4 | 14 Scrap Meat 1 Pulp Filler |
| Camas Ash Fertilizer | 2 | 0.3 | 0.7 | 2 | 2 Camas Bulb 1 Fiber Filler |
| Hide Ash Fertilizer | 1 | 5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 2 Leather Hide 1 Pulp Filler |
| Pelt Fertilizer | 2 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 2 Fur Pelt 1 Fiber Filler |
| Phosphate Fertilizer | 3 | 0.5 | 4 | 0.5 | 18 Limestone 1 Composite Filler |
| Compost Fertilizer | 5 | 2 | 1 | 3.7 | 1 Compost 1 Fiber Filler |
Types of Fillers
Fillers are crafted specifically for use in fertilizer production and are made from combining Plant Fibers or Wood Pulp with dirt at the Farmer's Table.
A comprehensive overview of filler types (as of 0.9.0.3) follows:
| Name | Level Needed | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber Filler | 2 | 15 Plant Fibers 1 Dirt |
| Pulp Filler | 1 | 15 Wood Pulp 1 Dirt |
| Composite Filler | 3 | 1 Fiber Filler 1 Pulp Filler |
How Fertilizer Works
Fertilizers is applied to the soil of the entire 5x5 plot it's used on, meaning it affects a 5x5 area which you can see by holding a Land Claim Stake.
Each unit of nitrogen, phosphorous or potassium in the fertilizer corresponds to 4% of the corresponding nutrient in the soil (shown by the Soil Sampler).
Changes in the nutrient values of the soil take some time to update and will not be visible when checked with the soil sampler for ~10 minutes. It seems that during this time adding more fertilizer does not increase the amount of nutrients that the plot will get. This means that to apply more than one unit of fertilizer to a given plot, one must wait for about 10 minutes (check with a soil sampler to be sure that the soil parameters have been updated) before applying another unit.
Over-fertilizing
According to Agriculture page, a player can over-fertilizer a plot of land to the detriment of crop survivability, growth, and yield.
