Fertilizer Types

The mod recognizes all base-game fertilizer types plus 25+ custom types. Each type has a different nutrient profile applied per 1,000 litres of product.

Custom liquid fertilizers are available as purchasable IBC liquid tanks at in-game shops. Custom dry/solid fertilizers are available as purchasable big bags (1,000–10,000 L) at in-game shops.


Base game types (always available)

Fill type N P K pH OM Best use
Liquid Fertilizer 0.50 0.21 0.33 - - General balanced top-dressing
Fertilizer (solid) 0.67 0.33 0.25 - - High N+P, pre-plant broadcast
Manure 0.25 0.17 0.29 - +0.05 Organic; builds OM over time
Slurry (Liquid Manure) 0.33 0.17 0.42 - +0.03 High K, liquid organic
Digestate 0.42 0.18 0.46 - +0.04 Biogas byproduct; high K
Lime - - - +0.4 - pH correction only

Custom liquid fertilizers (purchasable IBC tanks in shop)

Nitrogen sources

Fill type N P K Notes
UAN-32 0.87 0 0 32-0-0 liquid; efficient high-N application
UAN-28 0.76 0 0 28-0-0 liquid; slightly lower concentration
Anhydrous Ammonia 1.00 0 0 82-0-0; highest N per litre
Liquid Urea 0.95 0 0 Dissolved urea for sprayer application
Liquid AMS 0.46 0 0 Liquid ammonium sulphate

Phosphorus & potassium sources

Fill type N P K Notes
Starter 10-34-0 0.27 0.68 0.18 High-P in-furrow starter
Liquid MAP 0.30 1.41 0 Liquid MAP equivalent; highest P per litre
Liquid DAP 0.49 1.26 0 Liquid DAP equivalent
Liquid Potash 0 0 1.63 Dissolved potassium for sprayers

Crop protection (liquid)

Fill type Effect Notes
Insecticide Reduces pest pressure Liquid; accepted by all sprayers
Fungicide Reduces disease pressure Liquid; accepted by all sprayers
Liquid Lime +pH (raises pH via sprayer) Alternative to dry lime

Custom dry/solid fertilizers (purchasable big bags in shop)

Nitrogen sources

Fill type N P K Notes
Urea 0.95 0 0 46-0-0 dry granular
AMS 0.46 0 0 21-0-0-24S ammonium sulphate
AN (Ammonium Nitrate) 0.71 0 0 34-0-0 dry granular; fast-acting nitrate N

Phosphorus & potassium sources

Fill type N P K Notes
MAP 0.30 1.41 0 11-52-0; highest P per litre
DAP 0.49 1.26 0 18-46-0; high P with some N
Potash 0 0 1.63 0-0-60 muriate of potash; K only
Polifoska 6-20-30 compound +4N +21P +50K ppm/ha @ 250 kg/ha - compound NPK

Organic & slow-release

Fill type N P K OM Notes
Compost 0.08 0.05 0.06 +0.12 Strong OM builder; low N
Biosolids 0.28 0.22 0.08 +0.07 Municipal organic N+P amendment
Chicken Manure 0.35 0.29 0.18 +0.08 Concentrated poultry litter
Pelletized Manure 0.65 0.45 0.55 +0.08 Dense balanced organic NPK

pH adjustment

Fill type pH effect OM Notes
Lime (base game) +0.4 - Strongest per-litre pH correction
Liquid Lime +0.3 - Slightly weaker per volume than dry
Gypsum −0.10 +low Lowers pH; corrects alkaline soil; minor OM gain

Note

Gypsum lowers pH - use it for alkaline fields (pH > 7.5). Lime raises pH - use it for acidic fields (pH < 6.0).


Overapplication burn risk

Applying nitrogen-rich fertilizer above 1.25× the base application rate risks burning the field:

Rate Effect
> 1.25× Probabilistic burn: −0.15 pH, −5 N
≥ 1.50× Guaranteed burn every application: −0.30 pH, −12 N

Adjust the application rate with the Increase / Decrease Fertilizer Rate actions while in a vehicle (these ship unbound - bind them in Options → Controls → Mods). The Auto-Rate Control feature automatically targets optimal nutrient levels and avoids burn risk.


Crop protection products

Three products reduce field health pressure. They do not add nutrients.

Fill type Effect Notes
Herbicide Reduces weed pressure Liquid or spray; also clears weed density on application
Insecticide Reduces pest pressure Liquid; accepted by all liquid sprayers
Fungicide Reduces disease pressure Liquid; accepted by all liquid sprayers

See Field Health System for details on pressure scores, penalties, and recovery rates.


Unknown / multifruit fill types

Fertilizer types not listed above are not recognized and will have no effect on soil. If you are using a custom equipment mod that adds new fill types, open a GitHub issue and we can add a profile for it.
