Para este indicador, FAO fornece dados para Brasil de 1961 a 2020. O valor médio por Brasil durante este período foi 120.3 kg per hectare of arable land com o mínimo de 9.8 kg per hectare of arable land em 1964 e o máximo de 365.2 kg per hectare of arable land em 2020.

Definição: Fertilizer consumption measures the quantity of plant nutrients used per unit of arable land. Fertilizer products cover nitrogenous, potash, and phosphate fertilizers (including ground rock phosphate). Traditional nutrients--animal and plant manures--are not included. For the purpose of data dissemination, FAO has adopted the concept of a calendar year (January to December). Some countries compile fertilizer data on a calendar year basis, while others are on a split-year basis. Arable land includes land defined by the FAO as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land temporarily fallow. Land abandoned as a result of shifting cultivation is excluded.
