FAO Fertilizer and Plant Nutrition Bulletin 17

February 2, 2007

This publication of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is based on 21 country reports on fertilizer use by crop between 2002 and 2006. Its objective is to demonstrate the importance of information on fertilizer use by crop, not only on a national level but also by agro-ecological zone. It also aims to demonstrate how the correct use of fertilizers could help to achieve the first target of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of the United Nations.
