Study of the influence of the contribution of fragmented rameal wood and manure on the density of microscopic fungi and the density of mites and collemboles of a sandy loam soil in Constantine (Algeria)

Abstract

The objective of our work is to study the influence of the contribution of Fragmented Rameal Wood (BRF) and cattle manure on the density of microscopic  fungi and the density of mites and springtails of a limono-sandy soil in Constantine (Algeria). A 100 m² parcel is subdivided into 15 plots of 2  m² each with 5 different plots where we determined the species of microscopic fungi and their density during March, April, May, June and November  2014. Thus, the density of springtails and mites was monitored monthly from March 2014 to January 2015. The results obtained show that the  contribution of BRF or BRF mixture to cattle manure have a beneficial effect on the evolution of the density of microscopic fungi and the density of   springtails and mites in the amended plots compared to the unamended plots.
