Figures & Tables

Sampling method for nematodes present in the soil in each coffee plantation.

Average values (± standard error) of (a) the maturity, (b) the maturity 2–5, (c) the plant parasitic, (d) the basal, (e) the enrichment, and (f) the structure indexes. Values followed by the same letter did not differ when using the Tukey test (p < 0.05).

Food web analysis of coffee crops fertilized with cow manure (CM), poultry litter (PL), plant residues (NF), and in a forest fragment (FF). Quadrant A: enriched and structured agroecosystem; quadrant B: mature and structured environment; quadrant C: mature and stable environment, fertile soil; and quadrant D: degraded and depleted soil. (Ferris, 2010).
