Analysis
In 2023, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — nitrogen fertilizer content applied in Morocco stood at 51.2 kg per square kilometre.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 4.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — nitrogen fertilizer content applied in Morocco peaked at 75.59 kg per square kilometre in 2005 and was at its lowest, 1.93 kg per square kilometre, in 1961.
That places Morocco 69th out of 176 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Nitrogen fertilizer content applied that volatilises divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Nitrogen fertilizer content applied that volatilises ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Nitrogen fertilizer content applied Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
