Summary The basic method of pest control in crops is still the use of pesticides that are building up in the soil and are the cause of changes in microbial activity, usually in the quantitative composition of the soil microflora. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of three selected fungicides and soil extracts obtained from the sandy and organic soil on the growth of entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae in vitro. Among the tested fungicides the strongest growth inhibition of M. anisopliae caused Score 250 EC formulation, and relatively least Antracol 70 WG. The results indicate that the addition of soil extracts to the culture medium with fungicides increased the inhibitory action on the growth of the fungus. Extract from organic soil added to the culture medium with fungicides strongly inhibited the growth of M. anisopliae colonies than an extract obtained from the sandy soil.
