Edaphic macrofauna in corn cultivation (zea mays) biofertilized with pork sludge, (perote-mexico)
Background: swine sludge bio fertilizers harbor a large amount of edaphic macro fauna, which facilitates the decomposition of organic matter. The application of these fertilizers in the corn crop (Zea mays L.), are an alternative source of fertilizer. Objective: to identify the presence of edaphic macro fauna in soils fertilized with porcine derived sludge, Perote (Mexico). Methodology: quantitative, using an experimental design. In the fieldwork, he used 6 “Pitfall” traps, randomly distributed in an area of 800 m² of corn (Zea mays L.) crops divided into 12 plots previously fertilized with doses of pig sludge. Later, the insects were collected inside the traps for identification. Shannon and Simpson analyzed the information in the BioDiversity Pro software, with indices. Results: 904 invertebrates were found; insects had a representation of 97.1% and arachnids 2.9%. According to the Shannon index (C), it was low in diversity and for the Simpson index (D), and there were no significant changes of the compound at the level of macrofauna diversity. Conclusions: within the study there was no presence of myriapods, the levels of diversity were low, however, trap 2 had a higher index (C), reaching 0.847. The trap located in plot 3 had index (S), 9.6.
