This is only happening with this plot.
After analyzing the soil, I used liquid fertilizer (I did the same for all my plots), but only in this one it says that the nitrogen is bad.
I have already tried applying liquid fertilizer a second time, but nothing changes.
I've also tried adding manure, but nothing changes either.
Does anybody know how to solve this?

Re: Precision Farming: bad nitrogen even after using liquid fertilizer
It’s bad because it’s high, you can have to much. This chart should help you, someone very kindly shared it in another post about something similar. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2885163905
This should help you pick a crop that will benefit from a bunch of nitrogen. It will also help you know where to stop in the future depending upon the crop you’re planting.

In fact, I had fertilized it when I bought the lot, without noting which seed would be used, so I understand that the amount was adjusted for the last seed that was there, right?
Is there a way to correct this (reduce nitrogen)?
Re: Precision Farming: bad nitrogen even after using liquid fertilizer
Just to plant something that eats a lot of nitrogen. Judging by that chart and what its target is for oats you can plant wheat, canola, corn, or sugarcane and hit your target. Wheat and canola use the same head as oats and corn needs a different one. Then sugar cane requires some completely different equipment so you choose what’s best for your operation as even barley wouldn’t be bad sitting at a 180 for target.rogeriodec wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 2:12 pm

...or alternately, if you're up to doing potatoes,sugarbeets or poplar any excess nitrogen won't hurt them - they'll use up most of it with no ill effect to yield (those crops can be 'overfertilized' safely).UncleRico wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 2:21 pmJust to plant something that eats a lot of nitrogen.

Well, to give credit where due, I did not create the chart - and my thanks go to the person who did (goes by Iron Thunder on the Steam forum). It's been a big help to myself as well.
