| Abstract |
Crop rotations are fundamental to sustainable cropping systems. As well adesigned crop creates diversity and improves soil condition also generate biodiversity oh soil fauna and soil fertility. Present experiment was carried out in a period of eight months. extending from November2004 to June 2005 at Fayoum, upper Egypt. Five medicinal and aromatic plants were cultivated: Marjoram ( Marjorana hortensis Moench ) , Flax ( Linum usitatissimum I,. ) Tooth pick-plant or khella ( Ammi visnaga (L.) ) , Chamomile (Marticaria Recutita I,. _ Chrysanthemum recutita (I.) ) and Daisies (Chrysanthemum vulgare (L.) ) and the sixth plot was left fallow without cultivation as control. These medicinal and aromatic plants were followed by transplanting tomato (Lycopersicum escutum). We compare soil fauna populations (as activity density) in different plots cultivated with different medicinal and aromatic plants and a fallow plot, with the soil fauna of the same plots after tomato rotation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of medicinal and aromatic plants in rotation with tomato to decline or increase the activity density of soil fauna as well as referring to the functional (trophic) groups: herbivores, carnivores , detrivores, parasites, pollen grain transmitters and vector diseases. The species composition of soil fauna were discussed. The main groups found were flies, ants, true spiders, Collembola and aphids. Soil fauna associated with the control plot in the first period was tile most widely separated from those of other plots. As a result of the corresponding analysis, Soil fauna associated with all medicinal and aromatic plants, except with linen were clustered together. Soil fauna associated with linen were grouped With soil fauna associated with all tomato plots. Rotation of tomato plant alter medicinal and aromatic plants play an essential role in break herbivores in tomato , also can provide the basis for effective non-chemical
