Extension officials report United States fertilizer use rose about 3 percent in the year ending June 30 1968, slower than prior two years. Iowa trends show nitrogen up over 500 percent since 1960 while phosphate and potash rise also. Nitrogen prices fell sharply from 100 to 69 dollars per ton between Sept 1967 and Sept 1968.
Ammonia production capacity has risen sharply and should keep nitrogen fertilizer supplies ample for several years. Excess capacity also exists for potash fertilizers in the United States and Canada. Phosphate supply is tied to sulfur availability, which has improved this year, easing sulfur prices. Pipeline construction to move anhydrous ammonia from Gulf states to the Midwest is expected to lower transportation costs.
