Abstract:

A field investigation was undertaken during Kharif-2013 to estimate the population of soil macro arthropods in cotton intercropped with groundnut under organic, integrated and conventional farming systems. Soil macro arthropod consists of ants, scarabid beetles, centipedes, millipedes and others. Among the different farming systems, organic farming recorded more population of total soil macro arthropods (147.64/15 pitfall traps) followed by integrated farming system (119.71/15 pitfall traps) and conventional farming system (91.90/15 pitfall traps). Irrespective of farming systems the population of soil macro arthropods gradually increased from first fortnight of June (88.22/15pitfall traps) and reached to peak population during second fortnight of August (190.56/15pitfall traps) and gradually decreased to least population during second fortnight of December (52.11/15pitfall traps).


Keywords: Soil macro arthropods, Conventional and pitfall traps.
