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.
