[PO15] Improvement of the efficiency of the nitrogen cycle in agriculture – gross nitrogen budget
Key message
After 2005, the gross nitrogen budget ranged between 42 and 69 kg per ha of agricultural land with an indistinct decreasing trend. The 2020 target (less than 53 kg N per ha) has been achieved on average over the last 5 years (47.6 kg N per ha). Preliminary estimates indicate that the balance surplus in 2020 will be less than 35 kg N per ha. This means that the 2020 target will be achieved.
