Brazilian Nutrient Balance
Nutrient balance is a tool to evaluate the use of fertilizers. In order to have a sustainable crop production system it is necessary that the amount of nutrients removed from the field is replaced through fertilizer applications and that nutrient use is highly efficient. IPNI Brazil Program runs every year a national nutrient balance for the main crops that cover over 90% of the fertilizer consumption according to statistics, and every four year is produced information regarding every single state and crop. In 2014, IPNI Brazil will publish the nutrient balance for the last 4 years and will continue the journey collecting data for the coming years.

A nutrient budget is an important tool used to the evaluate the agronomic use of fertilizers through the balance between inputs and outputs in crop production. In Brazil, IPNI has prepared several nutrient budgets over the years, and most recently has extended a Brazilian nutrient balance analysis that includes many crops for the period between 2013 to 2016.
