Summary: Cattle grazing confers several benefits when present in production systems, but careful handling is needed to maintain the soil quality. We evaluated the total fungal propagules in soil from two integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) compared to a non-integrated control. The method consisted of a twice soil sampling submitted to dilutions and culture media evaluation for total fungi growth. Results showed greater colony-forming units per plate in the soil from the non-grazed control, independently of the sampling time. We conclude that grazing influences the soil microbial attributes, probably by changing the quantity and quality of residues in the soil. Key words: microbial biomass carbon; soil quality; suppressiveness
