Biological fixation — Cropland nitrogen in Uruguay, 1961–2023
Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in t.
Analysis
Uruguay recorded 92,362 t for biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in 2023.
The figure is down 50.9% on the previous year and down 52.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Uruguay peaked at 230,177 t in 2014 and was at its lowest, 1,358 t, in 1968.
That places Uruguay 37th out of 191 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 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 (%).
