Aug 6 (Reuters) - Nutrien ( NTR ) beat Wall Street

estimates for second-quarter profit on Wednesday, as the world's

top potash producer benefited from improved demand in North

America amid a robust corn planting season.

The Saskatoon, Canada-based firm posted an adjusted profit

of $2.65 per share for the three months ended June 30, compared

with analysts' average estimate of $2.40, according to data

compiled by LSEG.
