Analysis
In 2023, volatilisation — cropland nitrogen per unit area in Iraq stood at 10.63 kg/ha.
That represents a change of down 1.2% on the previous year and down 1.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, volatilisation — cropland nitrogen per unit area in Iraq peaked at 34.14 kg/ha in 2001 and was at its lowest, 0.6186 kg/ha, in 1962.
That places Iraq 131st out of 201 countries with data for 2023, putting it 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 (%).
