Overview
This product brings together 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.
Fertilizer price data (table 7) have been updated through 2012.
Fertilizer price indexes (table 8) have been updated through 2011.
Fertilizer consumption and use (tables 1-6) have been updated
through 2010. Fertilizer consumption and use for corn (tables 9 to
14) and for cotton (tables 15 to 20) have been updated through
2010. Fertilizer consumption and use for wheat (tables 27 to 32)
have been updated through 2009. Crop-specific updates occur when
survey data from the Agricultural
Resource Management Survey and NASS' Agricultural Chemical Usage Data become
available.
