“…Crop preferences of carabid beetles in agrocoenoses are mentioned by Bommarco (1998), Do et al (2005), Shishiniova et al (2001) and others. Hurej & Twardovski (2006) found in agrocoenoses of yellow lupin (Lupinus luteus L.) and spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) 59 carabid species. This number is not a rarity in agrocoenoses.…”

The influence of agricultural management form on the structure and the species diversity of ground beetle (Carabidae) assemblages was studied. The research was carried out in the vicinity of Očová village (Central Slovakia) in [2005][2006]. Carabid beetles were pitfall-trapped in four pairs of plots with the same crop, but conventionally and naturefriendly managed. In total, 54,376 individuals of 68 species of 30 genera were collected. The significantly positive effect of nature-friendly management on the number of carabid beetle individuals and species diversity was observed only in the plots with arable soil. Carabid beetles reached a higher species diversity in the plots with a higher pH and humus content. These parameters were typical of nature-friendly managed fields, and of the conventionally managed permanent grass stands. In general, number of carabid beetle individuals and species was higher in arable soils than in permanent grass stands.

“…The application of chemical protection methods was more efficient in reducing the harmful impact of the black bean aphid foraging on broad bean than other methods used, thereby allowing the plants to grow to a bigger size. Many authors [6,[29][30][31][32] emphasize the role of shading in enhancing the activity of epigeic and soil arthropods, including springtails. Another possible explanation may be that, among the taxa, springtails dominated families characterised by low vulnerability to plant protection products and there was an indirect effect of the absence of other taxa (e.g., those that could compete).…”

“…The distance between individual traps was 8 m. Although pitfall traps are typically used for larger areas, this type of measuring gives a very good indication of epigeic invertebrate abundance [26], even in the case of small plots [5,6]. Hummel et al [5] used pitfall traps 2.9 m apart on plots of 36 m 2 surface (the same surface as in our research), while Hurej and Twardowski [6] used even smaller plots (15 m 2 ) with 0.3-m distances between plots and one trap in the central part of each plot. The trap was composed of a glass container (120 mm high, 70 mm in diameter) filled to 1 4 with a preserving solution (ethylene glycol), sunk in the soil at ground level, and covered with a plastic green roof for protection against precipitation.…”

“…These methods are considered environmentally safe and with low toxicity to nontarget organisms, including humans [4]. However, as demonstrated by similar nonchemical methods of protection, such measures may directly or indirectly (while affecting the cultivated plant) modify the occurrence of nontarget organisms, which include representatives of epigeic and soil arthropodofauna [5][6][7]. Many of these are the natural enemies of pests (Carabidae, Staphylinidae, and Arachnida) as well as important organisms involved in the decomposition of organic matter (e.g., soil Acarina and Collembola).…”

Impact of Nonchemical Protection of Broad Bean on Epigeic and Soil Arthropodofauna—Analysis in Field-Realistic Conditions

Plant protection methods, even those considered as safe for the environment and consumers, may have unexpected effects on nontarget organisms. The effect of broad bean protection, using Pythium oligandrum, paraffin-coated garlic pulp, and extract from grapefruit seeds and pulp on the abundance of epigeic and soil arthropodofauna in a 3-year field experiment was estimated. The effect was compared with chemical protection, which served as the reference to the conventional system. Use of nonchemical products did not affect the overall abundance of the studied arthropods such as Arachnida (except Acarina), Carabidae, Staphylinidae, and Collembola. These methods, however, may favor Formicidae. In comparison to chemicals (carboxin, mancozeb, deltamethrin, and alpha-cypermethrin), nonchemical preparations seemed to be safer for soil mites—they limited their abundance to a lesser degree. Some individual carabid species showed differing responses to the applied protection methods: Amara aenea occurred only in nonchemically protected areas, Platynus assimilis tends to prefer broad beans protected solely with P. oligandrum, while Anchomenus dorsalis prefer plots protected chemically (seed treatment and 3-time spraying). This may be the effect of the different shading of the soil surface as a result of the influence of protection measures on plant growth. Other explanations may include different vulnerability of species to preparations as well as indirect reaction to the occurrence of other taxa (reduced competition and impairment of food sources) or hormesis.

“…The greatest reducing effect was observed in the case of the black bean aphid Aphis fabae Scopoli and partially in the case of thrips (Thysanoptera). In the same trials, carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) were most numerous in yellow lupin grown as a single crop and in lupin intercropped with spring triticale where the proportion of lupin was the highest (Hurej, Twardowski, 2006).…”

Intercropping is an important cultural practice in pest management and is based on the principle of reducing insect pests by increasing the diversity of an ecosystem. The aim of the study was to determine the abundance and species composition of weevil assemblages noted in the fields of narrow-leafed pure stands lupin and lupin intercropped with spring triticale. Weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in mixed crops were studied at Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Poland, in 2010-2012. The experiment was designed as a split-plot with four replicates for each mixture of plants. Lupin and triticale were sown at three different proportions. The abundance of adult weevils was recorded using pitfall traps. The feeding damage caused by adult beetles on lupin plants was monitored weekly. Weevils were more numerous in the pure stands of lupin than in those intercropped with triticale. Usually more species were found in the pure stands of lupin than in mixtures. In each year, the dominant species in all the three treatments was Charagmus griseus. Sitona macularius and Ch. gressorius were also abundant. The seasonal fluctuations of the number of notches caused by weevils on the leaf margins were similar in all treatments, irrespective of the lupin seed ratio in the intercropping system.
