| Abstract |
In Fayoum, Egypt, the influence of different intercropping systems on population of soil fauna was studied. For this reason, seven vegetation of monoculture and intercropping systems using clover, lettuce and cabbage were applied. Fauna were collected by means of pitfall trap methods and data was analyzed and interpreted. The captured surface soil fauna were listed according to the Ascending Hierarchic Classification (AHC) Roux (1985).Fauna were classified into the six main functional groups; herbivores (agricultural potential pests), detrivores (responsible for soil fertility) and carnivores (predators of pests), parasitoids, pollen grain transmitters and vector diseases. The community composition in the period of study was determined using the Shannon-Wiener and Simpson Indices of diversity, a slight difference in the species diversities among the seven cover of cultivation was observed.
