Analysis
Ireland recorded 4,752 t for biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in 2023.
The figure is up 27.1% on the previous year and up 233.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Ireland peaked at 5,328 t in 2017 and was at its lowest, 5.7 t, in 1975.
Ireland ranks 115th of 191 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
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 (%).
