Still very early into investigations so this information is sketchy at best, but here is what I found in the ~two days I've worked on this seriously.

You seem to only be able to get each buff every 6-7 minutes (can refresh when it says 53mXXs remaining), but this timer does not restrict getting different buffs.

Most of the time when the buff is limited to a certain area it is at least a 30x30 area. With the 6 minute timer this is very annoying to pin down so I didn't bother most of the time.

It seems like eco conditions from growing the veggie can make seed reproing stop, but most of the time a place where you got the buff or near it works.

If it fails to grow because of eco conditions or the wrong soil type you do not get the buff.

Peppers

• Grow onions on sand near silt, get buff, every silt I looked at worked on 20+ cases
  • sometimes a different spot in the area works when the first doesn't, might be related to being close enough to the silt spawner
• With the buff I could grow right near where I got the buff. Later tried same spot and did not work, did not investigate further as I grew 600 seeds the first time and already gave out 500 of them. Unlikely to bother with more testing until actual crossbreeding

Aperio - I'd like to propose that "near clay" might be a component. I tested several sand near grassy silt with no reproduction trigger.

Cucumbers

• Grow leeks near 3 or more sheep pens/camel pens->get buff
  • Empty sheep pens seem to count
  • Ranches did not seem to count
• Have not attempted to repro actual cucumbers

Eggplants

• Grow garlic East of 4120, X at night (11:30 PM to ~6AM worked) to get buff
  • Only actually tested far North (Tel) and South (Sheba), but both worked from 4120 all of the way to the edge of the world
• Seems to also work for growing to get seeds
• However, also was able to get seeds from just randomly planting until it worked before this was figured out and the spot does not fit this pattern
• Have not tested further as I got 300 seeds and gave 200 away the first time, unlikely to bother until actual crossbreeding

Watermelons

• Grow cabbage West of -2072 at midday (got buff at 11:52 AM, got buff at 5:40 PM, did not get buff at 6:00 PM)
  • -2072, Y doesn't work
  • -2073, Y does work
  • Was very far North in VoK, might be important, unknown
  • Western Desert also worked
• Grew and repro'd seeds right next to where I got the buff
• Eventually had to move after 30 minutes of growing, another spot to the West worked fine
• With buff also got seeds in camp
• CONFIRMED - Aperio - I got the buff at 6:15am in Buhen (but not earlier around 2am) and had no difficulty reproducing via this method. I only grew 20ish of two strains and did not need to relocate to grow. Spousewarped home and could still reproduce seeds there.
