Soil arthropod diversity, richness, and abundance in agroecological and conventional cotton production systems in Chaco, Argentina

description In Argentina, agroecology has grown in last years as a scientific paradigm that seeks to design and evaluate agroecosystems considering sustainability, complexity, and uncertainty. Diversity is a key factor in the design and management of production systems and a necessary component for conservation biological control and the reduction of agrochemicals use. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) crop in northern Argentina is usually managed with high load of agrochemicals: agroecological production arises as an alternative. This study evaluated the diversity, richness, and abundance of soil arthropods using pitfall traps in two experimental cotton plots under conventional (CONV) and agroecological management (AE) in Chaco, Argentina. AE system presented higher diversity and richness of predators compared with CONV, even when natural preparations were used for pest control. The phytophagous arthropods showed higher diversity and richness in CONV, even when pyrethroid insecticides were applied for pest control and preventively. The abundance in AE was lower for predators and higher for phytophagous arthropods. Agroecological production of cotton can be a tool that favors conservative biological control and an alternative for areas where protecting the health of farmers and the ecosystem is a priority.

En Argentina, la agroecología ha crecido en los últimos años como un paradigma científico que busca diseñar y evaluar agroecosistemas considerando la sustentabilidad, la complejidad y la incertidumbre. La diversidad es un factor clave en el diseño y manejo de los sistemas de producción y una componente necesaria para el control biológico de conservación y la reducción del uso de agroquímicos. El cultivo de algodón (Gossypium hirsutum) en el norte argentino suele manejarse con alta carga de agroquímicos: la producción agroecológica surge como una alternativa. Este estudio evaluó la diversidad, riqueza y abundancia de artrópodos del suelo mediante trampas de caída en dos parcelas experimentales de algodón bajo manejo convencional (CONV) y agroecológico (AE) en Chaco, Argentina. El sistema AE presentó mayor diversidad y riqueza de depredadores en comparación con el CONV, incluso cuando se utilizaron preparados naturales para el control de plagas. Los artrópodos fitófagos mostraron mayor diversidad y riqueza en CONV, aun cuando se aplicaron insecticidas piretroides para el control de plagas y de manera preventiva. La abundancia en AE fue menor para los depredadores y mayor para los artrópodos fitófagos. La producción agroecológica de algodón puede ser una herramienta que favorezca el control biológico de conservación y una alternativa para zonas donde proteger la salud de los agricultores y el ecosistema es una prioridad.
