Atmospheric deposition — Cropland nitrogen per unit area in Madagascar, 1961–2023
Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in kg/ha.
Analysis
Madagascar recorded 3.9 kg/ha for atmospheric deposition — cropland nitrogen per unit area in 2023.
That represents a change of up 3.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, atmospheric deposition — cropland nitrogen per unit area in Madagascar peaked at 4.03 kg/ha in 2001 and was at its lowest, 0.8948 kg/ha, in 1971.
That places Madagascar 151st out of 201 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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 (%).
