period between the first of July 2015 and the last of June 2016, 792 635
metric tonnes of inorganic
fertilizers were sold for agri- and horticultural purposes in Sweden, 12 %
over the average amount for the preceding five-year period and the largest
amount since the same period 2003/04. Straight nitrogen fertilizers together
with composite NPK-fertilizers made up more than 95 % of the total amount
of sold fertilizers. In total,
469 761 tonnes of straight nitrogen fertilizers were sold, representing 59 %
of the total amount of fertilizers sold, while composite NPK-fertilizers
amounted to 36 %. Among the straight nitrogen fertilizers, 82 %
consisted of compounds with a nitrogen content of 24–30 %, while the sales
of NPK-fertilizers were fairly evenly divided between fertilizers with different
composition. From a
nutrient point of view, 186 043 tonnes of nitrogen were sold, which was 9 %
more than the average for the preceding five years. The amount of phosphorus
sold has increased for seven consecutive years, reaching 13 105 tonnes in
2015/16. In total, 66 % of the nitrogen was sold in the form of straight
nitrogen fertilizers, while 33, 71 and 77 % of the nitrogen, phosphorus
and potassium respectively was sold as NPK-fertilizers. The average
concentration of each nutrient in straight nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium
fertilizers was 26, 20 and 41 % (weight by weight) respectively. Composite
fertilizers containing the respective nutrient had average concentrations of 21,
4.1 and 7.8 % for each of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. List of tables
