FS25 Field Health – Crop Diseases & Pests V1.0.0.0
Field Health brings crop diseases and pests into Farming Simulator 25. It uses real diseases and pests known from Poland, but keeps the system straightforward to use.
Features
- During every season, each field containing a growing crop may receive one disease and one pest between sowing and harvest. NPC fields are never affected.
- The mod includes 44 threats in total: 24 diseases, including powdery mildew, septoria, rust, fusarium and potato late blight, plus 20 pests, including aphids, cereal leaf beetles, pollen beetles, Colorado potato beetles and corn borers. Every threat targets only its own crops, during the appropriate growth stage and time of year. Rare threats occur rarely, while common threats occur more frequently.
- Risk is influenced by crop rotation, plowing, liming, mulching stubble, fertilizing and weed control. Warm and moist conditions also favour diseases.
- A threat first appears in small, irregular patches. These patches expand over time and may spread into a neighbouring field. The crop is destroyed only when the threat reaches its strongest stage, giving you time to respond.
Crop protection
Use fungicide against diseases and insecticide against pests. One sprayer pass with the correct product cleans the field and protects it through harvest. Both products operate like herbicide in any sprayer, and the AI helper sprays only fields requiring treatment.
Field health information
- The menu map provides the information on the “Crop protection” page, which includes layers for protection, diseases, pests and their types.
- The minimap also displays it. Change its layers with LAlt + , with the key rebindable in the controls.
- It is shown in the field info box and in the farmland box.
- Notifications report new threats and threats that have become severe.
Settings
More than 20 settings are available in the game menu, with no file editing required. They cover disease and pest chances, the effects of farming and weather, the development and spread speed of threats, patch size, spread to neighbouring fields, crop losses, protection threshold and duration, product usage, shop prices, threats on meadows and fodder crops, notifications and much more. The complete system can be turned off at any time.
- Precision Farming support means that nitrogen, pH and soil type influence the risk.
- Onions from the Highlands Fishing DLC are supported.
- Complete help is available in-game at ESC > Help > Field Health, including tables listing all threats.
- Available languages are Polish and English.
- Multiplayer is supported. Settings can be changed only by the admin.
- Safe saving stores the mod data in its own files, allowing the savegame to continue working after the mod is removed.
Specifications
- Crop protection products come as 1 l bottles, 5 l canisters and 20 l canisters containing fungicide and insecticide.
- The brands are Opryskex and MST.
- Each container uses its own 3D model, realistic label and tuned physics.
- The products are concentrated, so one bottle produces hundreds of litres of spray mixture.
