This paper is a synthesis of long-term investigations based on the effect of different anthropogenic pollutants (mineral and organic fertilizers, heavy metals, contaminated irrigation water, nitrification inhibitor and detergents) on dynamics of soil fungi number. The investigations were performed at the Micrbiology Department and trial fields of the Faculty of Agronomy in Cacak, Serbia, on smonitza and alluvial soils in field and under greenhouse conditions. Maize, wheat, barley and red clover were used as test plants in these studies. The quantitative composition of the fungi in the soils investigated was determined by the Czapek selective agar dilution method. The study results show that the number of soil fungi was dependent on the type and rate of agrochemicals used, on the growing season, and the soil zone the samples were taken from for the analysis. It can be concluded that the soil fungi number dynamics can be used in monitoring soils polluted by different toxinogenic substances.
