Trends in Crop Management and Fertilizer Use in the UK: Overview of 2012 Data

This report analyzes the significant changes in crop areas and managed grasslands in the UK, focusing on nutrient application rates in England and Wales as of 2012. It highlights the percentage of arable land receiving fertilizer nutrients and manure, informed by the British Survey of Fertiliser Practice. The document also examines the efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer use, phosphorus and potassium status in soils, and the environmental impact of fertilizer production, including greenhouse gas emissions associated with nitrogen fertilizers.
