We compute the fertilizer use in corn, cotton, soybeans, and rapeseed in the period from 1990 to 2010 for a set of … both the fertilizer application rates (in kilograms per hectare) and the fertilizer consumption (in thousand metric tonnes … statistics. The resulting allocation of fertilizer among crops is a function of the country's nutrients total use, the country …
