Crops which produce extra crops per harvest (''i.e.,'' [[Coffee Bean]], [[Blueberry]], [[Cranberries]]) will only affect one crop item ''per harvest''. Crops like Corn, which can be harvested multiple times but only produce one crop per harvest, will always benefit from Basic Fertilizer.
Basic Fertilizer affects only the basic harvest, which means that extra crops gained at a single harvest (''i.e.,'' [[Coffee Bean]], [[Blueberry]], [[Cranberries]]) will be regular quality.
