Analysis
Iraq recorded 1.06 kt for nutrient nitrogen n (total) — indirect emissions (n2o that) in 2050. That is the highest value across all 65 years on record.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — indirect emissions (n2o that) in Iraq peaked at 1.06 kt in 2050 and was at its lowest, 0.0016 kt, in 1961.
That places Iraq 28th out of 199 countries with data for 2050, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Crops provides estimates of emissions associated with crop processes, namely 1) crop residues, 2) burning of crop residues, and 3) rice cultivation and the application of nitrogen (N) fertilizers, including mineral and chemical fertilizers, to soils. Estimates are computed at Tier 1 following the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 2006).
