The phosphorus (P) budget in agriculture declined over the period 1992–2019 (for 97%). Reduction is the consequence of a decreased P intake with mineral and livestock fertilizers, as well as the consequence of increasing the P uptake by agricultural crops. The period up to 2005 was characterized by a surplus of 10 to 15 kg per hectare while after 2005 they were mostly less than 5 kg per hectare. In the period 2004–2015, the P surplus in Slovenia (+4.5 kg per hectare) was above the EU average (+2.2 kg per hectare).
