This Law regulates the quality, quality control, labelling, transport and traffic control of fertilizers (mineral and organic) and soil improvers and the production and control of organic fertilizers and soil improvers.The transport and use of fertilizers that have nutrient and plant protection products or characteristics are regulated by the regulations governing pesticides.For the purposes of this Act, fertilizers are not considered as substances which are predominantly determined to protect plants from harmful organisms and diseases, but substances that affect the development of plant life, and thereby do not serve as plant nutrient.
