Good

In the period 1992–2022 the consumption of mineral fertilizers in Slovenia was reduced by 38%. In the same period the consumption of plant nutrients (N, P2O5, K2O) per hectare of utilized agricultural area also reduced by 30%. The average consumption per hectare of utilized agricultural area was 61 kg N, 25 kg P2O5 and 31 kg K2O. In the period 2012–2019 the average consumption of nitrogen in Slovenia was lower (57 kg N/ha) than in EU member states (63 kg N/ha).

Bad

In most aquifers in Slovenia, levels of plant protection products and their degradation products (metabolites) indicate a decreasing trend, which is mainly due to the decreased concentrations of atrazine and its metabolite desethylatrazine. The number of individual active substances and their degradation products exceeding the 0.1 µg/l threshold value for individual active substances is also decreasing.
