Oilseed radish with direct sow

I would like to know if the fertilizing qualities of oilseed radish will still work with a direct sow seeder, which cultivates and seeds at the same time.

would it also work with a plow

Yes, will work and stay in effect no matter what you do up until the time you harvest (or crop withers) then fertilizer state resets to 0.

The most efficient way of planting and fertilising a new crop with a direct seeder is to plant oil seed radish, then plant your new crop over the top once it comes up.
3x fertilisers and planting in only 2 passes.

That is correct... But only if said seeder will also fertilize. (Pronto 9 is one such seeder and one of the first upgrades I usually make in game) Happy Farming!

Of course now we have the option of the Amazone Condor and the 2 big seeders from the Big Bud DLC as well.
Really good for maximizing efficiency!
Although I use a proper cultivator to cultivate in oil seed radish, I'm pretty sure that the ones built into seed drills don't really handle it in real life.

Just to make sure.

If I use a fertilizing sower to put oilseed radish into the soil that will give me stage 1 fertilizing.
Then if I use a direct sower with fertilizing capability to put the actual seed into the soil after radish pops up it makes fertilizing stages 2 and 3 in one go.
Is that right?

Yes that's right

Thanks

So, that would prove a really efficient way. I should try.
