Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Agricultural Use in USSR, 1961–1991
Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in t.
Analysis
USSR recorded 7.78 million t for nutrient nitrogen n (total) — agricultural use in 1991.
The figure is down 11.0% on the previous year and down 7.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — agricultural use in USSR peaked at 11.79 million t in 1987 and was at its lowest, 859,000 t, in 1961.
That places USSR 4th out of 210 countries with data for 1991, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The Fertilizers by Nutrient dataset contains information on the totals in nutrients for Production, Trade and Agriculture Use of inorganic (chemical or mineral) fertilizers. The data are provided for the three primary plant nutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (expressed as P2O5) and potassium (expressed as K2O). Both straight and compound fertilizers are included.
