768 documents related to plant and crop science, production and protection among 2844 documents (D) published in Slovenia in the period 1994-2000 and indexed by the Slovenian Agris Center for inclusion in Agris database were assessed with regard to bibliographic elements. Yearly occurrences differed highly due to intensive production of proceedings papers in certain years. 60% of D were published in Slovenian and 36% in English. There were 850 different authors. 18 authors published more than 10 D. 590 authors published only one D. 4 D were written by 11 or more co-authors, and 317 D by one author. Slovenians accounted for majority of authors as expected. Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, India accounted for 45, 23, 20, 18, 17 respective units. Contributors originated in 36 countries. Among the Slovenian university-affiliated contributors majority were affiliated to the Biotechnical Faculty (Agronomy Dept.). 356 D were published as journal articles, and 404 as papers in proceedings. The selection of 768 records was strongly influenced by existing Agris classification scheme. We included most D related to various aspects of crop- or plant-production, physiology, and protection, including forest trees. We had to exclude many food and feed-related D, as these categories don't differentiate between plant- or crop-related and animal-related topics. However, the existing schemes use the same criteria for different (sub)disciplines, such as animal and plant science, forestry, food and feed science, so they may to certain extent be used as an appropriate tool to compare the above (sub)disciplines.
