Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the application of swine wastewater (0, 100, 200 and 300 m3 ha1) combined with nitrogen fertilization (0, 100, 200 and 300 m3 ha1) in a typical red dystroferric latosol cultivated with baby corn. To evaluate the mesofauna, pitfall traps were set up. Collembola specimens were classified at the order level and Acarina specimens were classified at the family level. The results show that the density of the Collembola group increased with the application of swine wastewater up to the dose of 200 m3 ha-1 and it was not affected by chemical fertilization. The Acarina group was negatively affected by chemical fertilization and was not influenced by swine wastewater.
