Overview
This product brings together 1960-2006 data on fertilizer
consumption in the United States by plant nutrient and
major selected product, as well as consumption of mixed
fertilizers, secondary nutrients, and micronutrients.
Share of crop area receiving fertilizer and fertilizer
use per receiving acre, by nutrient, are presented for
the major producing States for corn, cotton, soybeans,
and wheat. Additional data include fertilizer farm prices
and indices of wholesale fertilizer price.
