ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis of epigeic arthropods (Carabidae, Staphylinidae,
Arachnida) occurring in crops within "Norfolk" rotation in organic farming. Arthropods’ collecting was carried out in 2014
at the Experimental Research Station Swojec of the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences and at the organic
farm located at Kamieniec Wrocławski. In both locations ground beetles, rove beetles and arachnids were the most
numerous arthropods. The highest number of ground beetles was found within oat treatment, while rove beetles and arachnids
within fodder peas. The greatest diversity of ground beetles species was calculated in Kamieniec Wrocławski, in case
of pea crops. It may be assumed that these crops, provided by organic farming method, are optimal habitat for beneficial
epigeal arthropods development.
