Realistic Crop Rotation

Give your crop rotation real meaning.

Each field stores the last four entries of its rotation history, including crops and fallow years. Plan what returns, monitor disease risk, and protect sensitive crops before an outbreak destroys part of the harvest.

PLANNING
– Rotation calendar with a real, repeating cycle of 2, 3, or 4 planning years filled with crops or fallow, including wrap-around from the last slot back to the first.
– A planned fallow year creates a full year of distance before the next sensitive crop; it does not instantly cleanse the field and does not guarantee that every disease is gone.
– Clear rotation rating, fitting recommendations, and conflicts reported before sowing.
– Diversity pays off: more crops in rotation, no repeating the same family, alternate winter and summer sowings.
– Fields sharing the same plan are grouped, with summed area, rotation quality, and residue.

DISEASES
Nine diseases target specific crops: Sclerotinia, Phoma, Take-all, Septoria, Rust, Fusarium, Late Blight, Beet Cyst Nematode, and Clubroot. A first outbreak can occur even on a field never affected before. Favorable weather raises the risk for weather-dependent diseases. After a confirmed outbreak, Sclerotinia, Phoma, Take-all, Septoria, Fusarium, Beet Cyst Nematode, or Clubroot can remain in the field after harvest. The remaining risk decreases once per calendar year. An infection starts at low severity and progresses daily.

TREATMENT
Fungicide AMISTAR (Syngenta) and Nematicide VELUM PRIME (Bayer), applied with any compatible field sprayer. Fungicide lowers outbreak risk, slows an active disease, and protects the sprayed crop. Nematicide shields the sprayed area of the current crop from nematode damage for three months. No product helps against Take-all and Clubroot – only crop rotation keeps them in check.

NITROGEN RESIDUE
A legume destroyed by tillage, not merely harvested, returns real nitrogen, split between the next crop and the one after. With Precision Farming it shows up on the nitrogen map; without PF, the mod adds a fertilization level.

IN-GAME
– Dedicated "Crop Rotation" tab in the menu (ESC).
– Three map views: infected fields, disease risk, treated areas.
– Field map showing current crop, growth state, required tillage, weeds, detected disease, nitrogen, and pH.
– Console commands for host or admin client.

Singleplayer and multiplayer, with or without Precision Farming. 27 languages.
