I was looking into getting the spell Plant Growth because we work with some agrarian societies in our campaign.
If you cast the 8-hour version that enriches plants in a 1 mile radius to double their next harvest over the same 1 mile every day, what stops it from increasing the harvest exponentially by further enriching the crops?
The theory being that even using a weekend of casting we could give a city/farmer x8 the harvest instead of just x2.

Enrichment does not stack
The exact text of the 8-hour version of Plant Growth is:
If you cast this spell over 8 hours, you enrich the land. All plants in a half-mile radius centered on a point within range become enriched for 1 year. The plants yield twice the normal amount of food when harvested.
Importantly, the direct effect of the spell is to enrich the land and the plants growing on it, not to double the harvest. The first time you cast the spell, the plants within the radius become enriched. If you cast it again in the same place, there is no effect, because the plants are already enriched. No matter how many times you enrich the plants, they are still just enriched. The enriched plants, when harvested, yield double the normal amount.

Important part of the RAW IS "The plants yield twice the normal amount" — so no matter what magic was used on the field before, effect is always 2 * normal, unaltered output.

@Nacht That rule is tricky to apply here since the listed duration of Plant Growth is "Instantaneous", and there is a lot of disagreement about whether a spell can continue to have magical effects after its duration has expired.
