摘要

I observed the effects of agroecosystem diversification through tillage and cropping system practices on the most abundant invertebrate fauna of corn and soybean. Additionally, I examined the effects of habitat structure created by those agronomic practices on ground beetles' species composition. Twenty-four plots (18.3 x 15.8 m each) were arranged in a 3 by 2 factorial design with cropping systems (corn monoculture, soybean monoculture and strip-intercropping of corn and soybean) and tillage systems (no-tillage and conventional tillage) as factors. The soybean fauna was sampled by sweep net, D-vac, direct counts, pitfall traps and quadrat samples. The major pests and natural enemies of corn were sampled by direct counts and damage estimation. Carabids' species composition was analyzed by diversity indices and by measures of richness and evenness.;Results of analyses of variance (ANOVA) from 1988 through 1990 indicated inconsistent responses to treatment factors for most of the 28 soybean taxa present in significant numbers. However, responses based on significant results for any given year showed greater abundance of foliar organisms in intercropping (particularly natural enemies) and no-tillage plots. The soil fauna exhibited a trend for higher number in no-tillage, but no response to cropping system. We concluded that responses to treatments for most taxa were idiosyncratic, probably reflecting uncontrolled environmental conditions. Nonetheless, the overall responses to treatments support the theory of higher arthropod diversity in diversified agroecosystems.;Among the soil pests of corn, cutworms, armyworms and slugs were more abundant in no-tillage plots, although only slugs reached economically damaging levels. The western corn rootworm and the European corn borer were generally more abundant on conventional tillage. The strip-intercropping system was inefficient for reducing the western corn rootworm infestation, especially in conventional tillage plots, despite crop rotation.;There was no treatment differences in the total number of ground beetles measured by ANOVA. However, more species (greater richness) were collected in no-tillage plots in all three years. Soybean/conventional tillage plots usually had lower evenness because of the dominance of one species, Pterostichus chalcites Say, which strongly influenced the results of the diversity indices.
