Yes i was reading it but i don’t understand how to maximize the growth of berry as it is always two.   Do i have to water more often? whats the growth time between 2nd and 3rd berry and so on?
It said "A Berry plant must be watered regularly with the Sprayduck or Squirt Bottle in order to achieve its maximum yield."

In Generation IV, the longer a plant is left with completely dry soil, the lower its final yield will be. A Berry plant must be watered regularly with the Sprayduck or Squirt Bottle in order to achieve its maximum yield. This varies depending on the Berry and its moisture drain rate.

Using Growth Mulch or Damp Mulch before planting a Berry will affect the plant's total growth time and its moisture drain rate. Using Growth Mulch will increase the plant's moisture drain rate by 50% (rounded down), but shorten its growth time to 75% of the normal time. Using Damp Mulch will decrease the plant's moisture drain rate by 50% (rounded down), but lengthen its growth time to 150% of the normal time. Note that a higher moisture drain rate means that the plant will dry out faster, necessitating more frequent watering.
