—In-game description

Artificial Fertilizer is a technology in Age of Empires III that can be researched at the Mill or Hacienda once the Fortress Age is reached and Seed Drill is researched. Once researched, it allows villagers to gather food from Mills, Farms, Rice Paddies, Fields, and Haciendas 30% faster.

Should the faster food sources are depleted or difficult to get to, researching Artificial Fertilizer is important to keep the player's food stocks high in the mid/late game.
