Field Health puts crop diseases and pests right into Farming Simulator 25. You work with real threats from across Europe, and their occurrence rates take inspiration from Polish agricultural data.
This is still an early development mod, so bugs and balance issues can show up.
Features
- Each growing field can pick up one disease and one pest during a season.
- NPC fields stay out of the system.
- You get 44 threats in total:
- 24 diseases
- 20 pests
- That includes powdery mildew, septoria, rust, fusarium, late blight, aphids, cereal leaf beetles, Colorado potato beetles, corn borers and more.
- Threats are limited to compatible crops and growth stages.
- Your risk changes with crop rotation, plowing, liming, mulching, fertilizing, weed control and weather.
- Diseases and pests appear in small patches first, then grow and can move into neighbouring fields.
- Crop damage starts only when stages become severe, so you have time to react.
Treatment
- Use fungicide to cure diseases.
- Use insecticide to remove pests.
- Get one correct treatment on the field and it stays protected until harvest.
- The products work in normal sprayers.
- AI helpers spray only fields that require treatment.
Crop Protection Products
- Choose between 1 L bottles and 5 L or 20 L canisters.
- Fungicide and insecticide are available.
- Opryskex and MST are the brands.
- Concentrated products:
- A 1 L fungicide concentrate makes 290 L of spray.
- A 1 L insecticide concentrate makes 1,450 L of spray.
- When sprayer liquid is unloaded, it is stored in 20 L canisters.
Field Monitoring
Open ESC > Map > Crop protection for layers covering:
- Protection
- Diseases
- Pests
- Disease types
- Pest types
Switch on the minimap layer with Left Alt + .
Field and farmland information now give you extra health data, while notifications point out new or severe threats.
Settings
There are 25 in-game settings to tune:
- Disease and pest probability
- Farming and weather influence
- Growth and spreading speed
- Patch size
- Crop damage
- Protection duration
- Product usage and prices
- Meadow threats

Set the system to be easier, make it harder, or turn it off completely.
In multiplayer, changing these settings is limited to administrators.
Languages
The mod supports 13 languages:
English, Polish, French, German, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Czech, Romanian and Hungarian.
It automatically follows your game language. If that language is unsupported, English is used.
Compatibility
- Precision Farming support

- Multiplayer supported
- Mod data is stored separately from the savegame, so removing the mod does not break saves

Changelog
- V1.1.0.0
This update adds French, German, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin America), Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Russian, Czech, Romanian and Hungarian. Your game language is picked automatically. Other game languages still use English.Here is what has been translated:
Fix: The Polish description of “Influence of weather” now has the same option names as the setting itself.Compatibility: Savegames from version 1.0.0.0 load without changes. Fields, threats, protection, settings and the bought bottles and canisters all remain. Nothing was removed from the game.
Multiplayer: the server and all players need version 1.1.0.0.
Good to know: The tables in the in-game help are still pictures in English. Translated tables are planned for a later update, since translating them by hand would take to much time for now.
