Effects of sheep manure in agricultural soils on the behavior of Folsomia candida and initial growth and development of Avena sativa

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects sheep manure in agricultural soils on behavior Folsomia candida and initial growth development Avena sativa. For this, an Oxisol submitted different doses subsequently evaluated for survival avoidance through standardized ecotoxicological assays, performance oats by germination test soil basal respiration rate respirometry methodology. There increase application consistent with doses. springtails were not altered there no change oats, indicating that can be used organic fertilization low pollutant potential.
