Impact of no-tillage and straw on detritivorous arthropods on the surface on the soil in bean crops

Detritivorous arthropods are essential because they participate in recycling organic matter, decomposing pesticides, improving soil properties, conserving water, and reducing problems with plant diseases. Practices such as no-till straw on soils can affect properties populations of detritivorous arthropods. Brazil is the largest producer consumer common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). Thus, this work aimed to determine impact planting "surface over ground" bean crops. In way, were cultivated tillage without soil. During cultivation, density was monitored using a pitfall trap. Sixteen morphospecies observed surface ground. No-tillage did not number arthropod species. The most abundant Collembola Entomobryidae Hypogastrura sp. Coleoptera Scarabaeidae Colopterus spp. No-till positively affected abundance Therefore, no-tillage crops provide conditions for increasing populations, properties.
