Overview
this guide i did, is to see if we are wasting our time with using 1 step fertilizing, 3 step, or plowing option on/off. and to see with what options are to give us the best returns for time spent.
Control content
the field used was number 19.
crop used was soybeans.
my sower did not have a fertilizer built into it so after planting anything if i wanted it fertilized i had to use a spreader.
lets get to it.

EDIT
now doing these steps will give you a boost to the yield harvests ie the first one in chart.
plowing 10%
fertilizing between each growth stage.
weed texture 30%
middle growth texture 30%
last green texture 30%
or just 1 fert option on 90%
so total would be 100%
some people would say its a boost of 200%
but that doesnt make sense in my head because if you dont do anything to the crop its nerfed , or wont grow to full harvest cap. so i say doing the full plow, and fert 1 step option, or 3 step. brings it to 100% yield.
and from what im learning now is the radish is realy for say you dont have a fertilizer. you do the radish and it counts for the 1 step or the full 3 step option.

( * )As for these outcomes. with the 1 step fert option on i can only guess that radish counts as a 1 step fert. so that could be why it is realy the same yield as fertilizing after sowing the cash crop.
(edit) i added the last one in just now same number. and id like to say most know this but some do not. 3 step fertilizing is just doing it during growing stages. not when sowing, so if your sower has fert on it , its not adding to it. that option would realy just be realy helpful for 1 step fertilizing option on. the 3 step involves as like this.in the case of soybeans sow. then wait for weed growth texture.then fertilize. then next growth texture has white flower tops. then fertilze. then last texture has pods on it.then fertilize. that is the 3 step method.you do it this way becuase after everytime the crop grows a stage. the color of fertize stage goes down. fully fertilized is dark blue. but after a growth stage it goes to middle blue. thats why you refertize. alot of people are getting this part wrong and confussed. this is the right way to 3 step. you dont need to fertize, plowing before or after . or planting radish. you only do it planting or sowing, and so forth.

i know it’s been beaten to death by a stick. already but thought i would help. and the 3 step was done twice same result.
As you can see where the results are going. I felt at this point to end the test.if anyone would like to challenge this, i welcome it. i suggest field 19 its the smallest. and i did 9 runs, and real life time it took was 6 1/2 hrs. so have fun
i hope in the future giant releases a patch for a bigger reward for the effort put in for doing the 3 step system.
