ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to perform a quantitative and qualitative analysis of epigeic beetles assemblages of family Carabidae recorded in different crops within Norfolk crop rotation managed organically. Collecting of arthropods was made using soil traps in 2014-2016, at the Experimental Research Station Swojec of the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences and at the organic farm located in Kamieniec Wrocławski. In both sites the lowest number and the lowest species diversity of ground beetles was observed in potato crop. In remaining crops beetles were relatively abundant and numerous species were identified. On the basis of the results it may be assumed that organic management within Norfolk crop rotation creates favorable conditions for the development of studied organisms, and as a consequence increases their number, thus contributing to the increase in biological diversity of agroecosystems.
