Atmospheric deposition — Cropland nitrogen per unit area over time
- China
- Nepal
How they compare
Nepal currently reports 31.37 kg/ha against 24.2 kg/ha in China, a difference of 7.17 kg/ha.
That makes Nepal's figure about 1.3 times China's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 63 shared years of data; in 1961 it was Nepal ahead.
China ranks 5th and Nepal ranks 2nd of 201 countries.
Nepal has averaged higher in every one of the 7 decades both report.

About this data
The Cropland Nutrient balance domain contains information on the flows of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium from mineral fertilizer, manure applied, atmospheric deposition, crop removal, and biological fixation over cropland and per unit area of cropland. The flows are aggregated to total inputs and total outputs, from which the overall nutrient balance and nutrient use efficiency on cropland are calculated. Statistics are disseminated in units of tonnes and in kg/ha, as appropriate. Nutrient use efficiency is expressed as a fraction (%).
