Weeds can cause a lot of trouble and significantly reduce your crop yields. They grow on any field on their own and cause much harm. If you want to maximize your yield, weeds need to be destroyed. In this guide, we will learn how to remove weeds in FS 25.

What Are Weeds?

Weeds are various plants that grow on their own. They are not picky about soil and weather conditions, so they can grow almost anywhere. However, they offer no benefit and cause a lot of harm.

Why Should You Get Rid of Them?

Weeds take up vast areas and absorb all the nutrients and water from the soil, leaving almost nothing for the planted crops and significantly drying out the soil. They also take all the sunlight, causing the planted crops to receive very little of it. This negatively affects yield: its quantity will significantly decrease, and the plants will not reach normal sizes. Weeds can reduce your yield by up to 30%.

That's why it is important to fight them. Below, we will consider various methods of destroying unwanted plants that clog the fields.

Types of Weeds

In FS25, there are several types of weeds. Depending on their type and stage of growth, different methods must be used to deal with them. They are quite easy to distinguish by their appearance and size.

• Small Weeds: This is the initial stage of their development. They appear almost immediately after you plant a crop. It is advisable to destroy them at this stage, as it is the easiest.

• Medium Weeds: Medium weeds become larger and grow more actively. Fighting them is already more difficult but still possible.

• Final Stage: It is not recommended to let the field reach this state, as the weeds become fully mature and flowers with seeds appear. It is very difficult to destroy their population, but still possible.

While on your field, you can see information about weeds and the state of the field in general. Do not allow weeds to develop; remove them at the earliest stages, or you risk losing a large part of your harvest.

How and What to Use to Remove Weeds in FS 25

The main methods of fighting weeds are cultivators, soil loosening tools, hoes, and herbicide sprayers. These are the most effective methods that can easily deal with weeds and prevent them from destroying your crops.

Just keep in mind that not all methods are effective for all types of weeds. For example, cultivators can remove small weeds but cannot cope with larger ones. Let's take a closer look.

• Cultivators. Cultivation is effective only for weeds in the early stages. Using them for large bushes makes no sense. Moreover, they are not suitable for soil treatment if crops like potatoes or corn are planted on the field. You can buy a cultivator in the store (key P on the keyboard) in the agricultural tools section.

• Hoes. Unlike cultivators, hoes are a more powerful and versatile way to remove weeds. They can remove both small and medium weeds. You can find them in the same category.

• Herbicide Sprayers. This is the most effective way to destroy weeds with roots. They handle all types of harmful plants, even on the most neglected fields. However, there is a small downside—they can negatively affect yield, reducing it by a few percent. But these losses will be significantly less than those caused by weeds.

Disabling Weeds in Settings

In Farming Simulator 25, the developers made it possible to disable weeds. You can simply turn off their growth and not worry about losing part of your harvest. However, this will make the game more casual, so it is best to use this feature if you are just learning the game and want to get the hang of it. Disabling weeds will significantly reduce the difficulty of the game, making it less interesting to play.

That’s it. Thank you for your attention! We have reviewed the most popular and reliable methods of fighting weeds in the fields. Be sure to plow your fields, cultivate, and spray to get the maximum yield and profit!
