Analysis
USSR recorded 7.78 billion kg for nutrient nitrogen n (total) — synthetic fertilizers in 1991.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 11.0% on the previous year and down 7.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — synthetic fertilizers in USSR peaked at 11.79 billion kg in 1987 and was at its lowest, 859.00 million kg, in 1961.
USSR ranks 6th of 217 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
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).
