Soil invertebrates in conventionally and organically farmed fields of winter wheat and winter oilseed rape in the Czech Republic

Original language description

This paper summarize the first results of a study aimed at evaluating soil and surface-dwelling invertebrate assemblages at an experimental field site in Praha-Uhříněves, where both organic and conventional farming have been practicised for 15 years. Analysis of the data on soil invertebrates confirms that agro-ecosystems are complex and underlines the importance of all the factors influencing biodiversity in both organic and conventional farming systems. Not only the application of insecticides/pesticides, covering the soil with the remains of plants, ploughing etc., but climatic conditions and type of crop can play an important role in determining the distribution and abundance of soil invertebrates. Organic farming favoured invertebrates like millipedes in dry more than wet years. The taxa most valuable for evaluating agrosystems seem to be mainly ground beetles (Carabidae), spiders (Araneae) and millipedes (Diplopoda). This study confirmed it is necessary to pay attention to the qu
