The use of plant protection products (PPPs) in Slovenia in the past 20 years has decreased by almost half, from 2,031 tonnes in 1992 to 1,102 tonnes in 2015. Despite the significant reduction in the use of PPPs in Slovenia, their consumption is still higher than in the majority of other EU Member States, which is due to the greater share of permanent crops in Slovenia. Therefore, fungicides represent 2/3 of total PPPs used in Slovenia, although their consumption has also been reduced considerably in recent years.
