Microorganisms and insects that living in the soil are an important component of it. These components play an important role in supporting and growing plant communities. Microflora and macrofauna exercise processes that influence the physical-chemical, biological and agricultural characteristics of the soil. In order to determine the species of microorganisms per 1 g of soil by the Petri dish culture method on different culture medium: potato-glucose-agar (PGA), dichloran-rose bengal chloramphenicol (DRBC) agar and dichloran 18% glycerol (DG18) agar decimal dilutions were performed beforehand. The results were compared with those obtained by the soil washing method. Bacteria from the genus Pseudomonas, yeasts, fungi from the genera Penicillium, Fusarium, Rhizopus, Aspergillus and Sclerotinia and one species each of coleoptera and lepidoptera were detected along with Lumbricus terrestris.
