We are currently witnessing the beginning of the global food crisis and disturbances in the fertilizer
market. On the other hand, on July 16, 2022, Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 of the European
Parliament and of the Council for laying down rules on the placing on the market of EU fertilizer
products establishes strict rules on the safety and quality of fertilizers and repealing Regulation
(EC) 2003/2003. The paper presents the modeling of process parameters of multifunctional
fertilizer, as a compound inorganic macronutrient fertilizer/liming material/soil improver, based
on pyrophyllite shale (pyrophyllite), deposits Parsovići, Konjic, BiH, enriched with dolomite, BiH
to achieve the formulation of Product Function Categories (PFC) in terms of the content of
secondary macronutrients (CaO and MgO) accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1009. The
biological efficiency of the newly formulated fertilizer was tested through vegetation trials with
beets (Beta vulgaris var. Conditiva).
