Fertilization Explanation
How Does it help to gain star and Equation Behind it
Why we used Fertilized
-It save Energy spent for Watering time and Work force
-It yield Higher profit
-For Crop Festival contest and Cooking Contest
-It is best used to gain value from Seed maker
Math and Equation Behind it
Noted
– ( * ) is Multiply
– All fertilization Used is Fancy Fertilize, Normal Fertilize needed to explore and test
– Remember the seed that bought from store will give you free 0.5 star if you used Fertilize and you Started with 0.5 star
-Crop need to be water every 3 day but you can add Fertilize to it every day.
-If you get fraction in calculation always Round down
Over Fertilize is the situation where you prolong crop growth by not watering your crop and add fertilize to it.
if your Fertilize used exceed Day that crop need to growth you must use second Equation
For example
Turnip is 5 Day growth crop
We add 5 Fertilize to it you will get 2.5 star turnip if we star with freshly bought turnip 0.5 from the store
For calculation
We are at 0.5 already and fresh crop give you 0.5 star bonus you can gain only 1.5 to not exeed fertilization used Vs. Day that crop need to growth
if we greedy trying to gain 2 star that game will know and the second Equation will be used
((5/5)*2(2+1) = 6 ( 6 Fertilize needed Vs. 5 Day crop growth) this Eqaution will no longer apply we will Talk about Over fertilization Method in next Section
(1.5 star need+0.5 free boon+0.5 star start with) = (5/5)*(2(1.5)+2) = 5 Fertilize needed = 2.5 star
This explain What happen if we used Fancy Fertilization on whole growth period will yield you 2.5 star crop
What if we used that 2.5 star seed to gain another 1.5 star
(1.5 star need and start with 2.5 star 1.5+2.5 = 4) = (5/5)*(2(1.5)+2) = 5 Fertilize needed and result is 4 star crop from 2.5 star seed
That not looking good If we want to Fertilize 4 star crop to 5 it need 1 Star gain
(1 star need and start with 4 star 4+1 = 5) = (5/5)*(2(1)+2) = 4 Fertilize needed to gain 5 Star crop
In total you need 5+5+4 = 14 Fertilize to get a Turnip to 5 Star if we don’t over fetilize it
Over Fertilization method
We know that we can add fertilized once day and prolong growth of growth of crop with out watering it for example
we can prolong growth of Turnip to 15 (3*5) day by watering it every third day after we sow it
That left a room to fertilize it with total of 15 unit of fertilization
But the game will know that we are trying to this method thus game will use another equation when
we Used Fertllized more than number of day that require crop to growth
in this example we still used Turnip to explain this
we will start with freshly bought turnip from Store so we need 4 star gain 0.5 boon bonus + you star with 0.5 thus equation for Over fertilized is (5/5)*(2(4)+3) =11 Fertilized need
So we can schedule fertilize The Tunip to F F FW F F FW F F FW F FW W
After We sow on first day you need to water it on Day 3 6 9 11 12 and apply fertilize until day 11
In conclusion Over fertilization method use lesser time and fertilize
BUT
If the rain happen during schedule it can ruin your plan and you need to have good record keeping
For me i would suggest to use Over fertilization to get your 2.5 to 5 star in 1 growth period.
Maintaining 5 Star Crop
Just plug in first equation with 0 star needed it will show you how much fertilize it needed for example
Tunip is 5 Star seed
(5/5)*((0*2)+2)= 2
it just need 2 Fertilize to maintain it five star after you sow it
Like said If you get fraction always round down for example
Pumkin is 4 day crop growth
To maintain 5 Star Pumkin
(4/5)*((0*2)+2)= 1.6
round down and you need only need 1 Fertilization

Hi mate, how about several crop that need 12 to 15 days to harvest?
argh.. so many math.. my head hurts 🤢
Thank you for the time put in to gather this knowledge. It’s a little dense for some so below is my quick summary and thoughts.
To get to 5 stars as quickly as possible for the first rotation of the crop, simply just fertilize it and water it each day. This will bring the crop to 2.5 stars.
For the second rotation divide the days it normally takes the crop to grow by 5, and then multiply that by 8. This is how much fertilizer you will need. This will be more than it takes the crop to grow normally, so you will need to skip a few days of watering while still fertilizing each day.
Examples
Eggplant ~ 11 days Grow Time = (11/5) * 8 = 2.2 * 8 = 17.6
Always round down so it would take 17 Fertilizer to go from 2.5 Stars to 5 Stars. You will need to skip 6 days of watering while growing said crop. Be mindful of rain, as if you planned on having the final day being a day you also need to fertilize the rain will mess you up. I recommend watering every 3rd day early into the growth and getting in the additional 6 days of fertilizer needed and resume normal watering and fertilizing each day.
This also means that a lot of the longer grow time crops can’t be brought from Store bought seeds to 5 stars in one season, as it would take more than 30 days to do so. 11 days is your cut off here, anything that takes 12 days or more to grow would require more than 30 days.
To maintain 5 stars its (Days to Grow / 5) * 2 rounding down. The table below will tell you how much fertilizer you need depending on how many days that crop takes to grow.
4 1 Fertilizer
5-7 2 Fertilizer
8-9 3 Fertilizer
10-12 4 Fertilizer
13-14 5 Fertilizer
15-17 6 Fertilizer
18-19 7 Fertilizer
20-22 8 Fertilizer
I still need to look at the numbers to see if it would be profitable to raise all the crops back up 5 stars. I imagine, and what I have been doing, is fertilizing 1/3 of the field to get enough seeds to replant the same size plot and selling the less than 5 star crops.
Happy planting!
