* '''Nutrients''' depend on the biome the crop is in, more specifically the "Nutrients" stat of the biome, which maxes out at 10. On top of that, it can be boosted by up to 4 points by having up to 4 Dirt blocks under the cropstick, with a cap of 3 points for the crops that needs a block to grow fully (this block should be at the bottom of the 4). Finally, using Fertilizer also boosts the Nutrients stat: the Fertilizer value of a crop ranges between 0 and 200, and it increases the Nutrients stat by up to 10, but it can only be applied when the Fertilizer value is under 100, which means the baseline for this boost is 5.

* '''Humidity''' also depends on the biome the crop is in. To boost it further, use Farmland under the cropstick (2 bonus points), and make it wet from nearby water (another 2 bonus points). Finally, hydrate the crop with an IC2 Hydration Cell for an extra 10 points, or provide water to your machine automation, which will hydrate crops for you.
* '''Humidity''' also depends on the biome the crop is in. To boost it further, use Farmland under the cropstick (+2 points), and make it wet from nearby water (+2 points). Finally, hydrate the crop with an IC2 Hydration Cell or provide water to your machine automation which will hydrate crops automatically (+10 points). Dry farmland will make IC2 crops disappear.
* '''Air Quality''' gets higher with a higher y level, up to 4 points at y=124 or above (y=79, 94, 109, 124 for 1, 2, 3 and 4 points), with another 2 points if the cropstick can see the sky (no blocks or only transparent blocks above). On top of that, the 8 blocks that surround the cropstick at the same y level are checked: 8 air blocks means 4 bonus points, otherwise 4 or more air blocks means 2 bonus points.
