| The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different chemical control of alternative weed in soil fauna in initial planting of Eucalyptus grandis. The treatments consisted of partial and full control of the weed vegetation. Collections were conducted through soil trap (pitfall). We collected 26,136 specimens, distributed in 13 taxonomic groups (Araneae, Blattodea, Chilopoda, Collembola, Coleoptera, Diplopoda, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Termitoidea, Orthoptera, Opilione and young forms). The treatments with remaining weed vegetation presented higher values of evaluated indices. |
