ABSTRACT
The aim of this work was to ascertain the influence of applying various doses of organic fertilizers on
the occurrence of the Carabidae and Staphylinidae families. The research was carried out in five treatments:
1) control treatment, 2) 25 t ha-1 of farmyard manure, 3) 50 t ha-1 of bio-sludge, 4) 50 t ha-1 of farmyard
manure, and 5) 100 t ha- 1 of bio-sludge. Coleoptera was represented by 87,324 individuals, Carabidae
with a dominance of 80.53 to 86.28%, and Staphylinidae from 5.36 to 8.32%. Carabidae recorded the
highest number for the 5th treatment, for 16,534 individuals, with the lowest number being for the 4th
treatment, for 12,322 individuals. Staphylinidae recorded the highest number for the 4th treatment, with
a frequency of 1,273 individuals, and the lowest number was for the 2nd treatment, with 934 individuals.
When considering the crops grown that produce convenient individual conditions, crops producing
shading, Helianthus annuus and Zea mays were preferred. The statistical evaluation did not confirm the
effect of treatments, temperature, precipitation, and year of the occurrence of Carabidae. The effect of the
treatment was not confirmed statistically in Staphylinidae, and the impact of the year, temperature, and
precipitation were significant.
