[PO14] Rational fertilization of agricultural plants with nitrogen
Key message
In the post-2000 period, nitrogen consumption from mineral fertilisers initially declined. After 2009, consumption more or less stabilised at around 27,500 tonnes, with annual values ranging from 26,300 to 28,612 tonnes. In 2019, consumption was equal to the 2020 target (less than 28,000 tonnes of N per year). On average over the last few years, the 2020 target has been met.
