EVALUATION AT THE UPPER TAXON LEVEL OF BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY PARAMETERS OF EPIGEAN SPECIES IN MAYER LEMON AGRO-ECOSYSTEMS USED DIFFERENT APPLICATION

Abstract

This study was carried out to evaluate the biodiversity parameters at upper taxon level of epigean species in mandarin agro-ecosystems with different applications between 2019 and 2022. Field studies were carried on the land of Çukurova University, Faculty of Agriculture Revolving Fund, on a 50-decare Mayer lemon variety orchard. For this purpose four parcels were chosen: (i) Chemical (herbicide was applied periodically for weed control and weed growth was not allowed), (ii) Weed cutting (in-row mulching and inter-row weed cutting applications are made), (iii) Vetch (in-row mulching and inter-rows covering plant with vetch (Vicia sativa L. (Fabaceae: Leguminosae)), and (iv) Control (where conventional agriculture is applied). Pitfall trap sampling method was used to measure the biodiversity parameters at the upper taxon level of the epigean (epigeal) species. Atrhropoda, Chordata, Mollusca (3 phylum) and Amphibia, Arachnida, Insecta, Gastropoda, Malacostraca and Reptilia (6 classes) were sampled over 3 years in the study. When the data were evaluated together with all the study years it was seen that the highest Shannon-Wiener diversity value was calculated in the vetch plot as 1.9981. The dominance value increasing or decreasing inversely with the diversity was calculated highest in the control (0.2746), weed cutting (0.2290), chemical (0.2172), and vetch (0.1686) plots, respectively. It was determined that the habitat with the lowest dominance was the vetch parcel. According to percent similarity the most similar parcel was found weed cutting and control parcels to each other and this similarity rate was calculated as 83,879 %. Vetch parcel was found 71,688 % similar to the group formed by control and weed cutting parcels. Besides chemical parcel was found %52.04 similar to the group formed by the rest of the study areas. Although vetch and chemical parcels were within the same garden boundaries, they were found to be only 58.012 % similar to each other. According to the results of this study; it can be said that the biodiversity in the agro-ecosystems where cover crops are applied, may have a higher biodiversity value than diversity of conventional agriculture lands. In addition, when these two different application methods are compared in terms of similarity, the rate of dissimilarity may increase due to the difference in epigean species living those agro-ecosystems.
