DTN Retail Fertilizer Trends

OMAHA (DTN) -- Same thing -- just a new week.

Retail fertilizer prices continue to be mostly higher for the fourth week of September 2025, according to sellers tracked by DTN.

Five fertilizers were higher compared to the prior month while the other three were slightly lower. For the fourth week in a row, just one fertilizer had a sizeable move. DTN designates a significant move as anything 5% or more.

DAP was 6% more expensive compared with last month. The phosphorous fertilizer has an average price of $904/ton.

Four other fertilizers had slightly higher prices. MAP had an average price of $922/ton, potash $486/ton, anhydrous $780/ton and UAN28 $420/ton.

Three fertilizers were slightly lower looking back to the prior month. Urea had an average price of $619/ton, 10-34-0 $666/ton and UAN32 $474/ton.

On a price per pound of nitrogen basis, the average urea price was $0.67/lb.N, anhydrous $0.48/lb.N, UAN28 $0.75/lb.N and UAN32 $0.74/lb.N.

All eight fertilizers are now higher in price compared to one year earlier.
