How to read this table
Different rows allow for a comparison of fertilization intensity across various crops to identify which plants receive more nutrients. For example, figures for sugar beet and fiber flax can be compared. All values are expressed as a percentage of the nutrient requirement, ensuring consistent comparisons regardless of the physical weight or volume of the applied substance
What is visible in these numbers
Highest values: potatoes (553), sugar beet (431), vegetable and melon crops (283). The gap between the highest and lowest is 55.9 times. The top three account for 59% of the total across all positions — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, with 34 observation periods in the dataset. There are 344 values in the table out of 442 possible, which is 77.8%. Gaps are substantial: a significant share of positions were observed only in certain periods, and such rows should be compared with caution

Period and application
The statistics cover the period from 1990 to 2025 and are published based on annual reports. This information is useful for agronomists, crop production specialists, and anyone analyzing agricultural resource use. Rosstat data reflects long-term trends in mineral fertilizer use within large agricultural enterprises
How it is calculated
Table notes: From 2008 onwards excluding micro-enterprises. Data include information for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol
1) C 2008 года без учета микропредприятий.
2) Данные приведены с учетом сведений по Республике Крым и г. Севастополю.
3) С 2022 года без учета статистической информации по Донецкой Народной Республике (ДНР), Луганской Народной Республике (ЛНР), Запорожской и Херсонской областям.
4) Информация формируется, начиная с итогов за 2022 год.
