Abstract

Cover crop management plays a significant role in regulating soil faunal composition. The structure of the soil nematode community, including abundance, diversity, and ecological indices, was compared across different plots of perennial plants, Arachis pintoi, and Sphagneticola trilobata, in a field experiment in Naawan, Misamis Oriental, Philippines. The soil was sampled 90 days after planting to assess nematode populations. Nematodes were then counted and identified up to the genus level. Additionally, nematode-based indices were used to evaluate the condition of the soil food web. The findings reveal that cover crops increased the nematode abundance from 1427 to 1451 individuals per 100 g, and diversity increased from 59 to 68 genera. Trophic groups, fungivores, and herbivores groups significantly changed. The A. pintoi plot also caused a 35% decrease in the overall herbivore group after 90 days of planting, whereas S. trilobata showed the lowest decrease. Sensitive genera belonging to cp 3 and 4 have increased only in A. pintoi, indicating a favorable soil food web condition among all cover crop treatments. Among the indices utilized, the structural index showed an immediate response to short-term investigation of the cultivation of cover crops. These findings provide valuable information for the limited cover crop studies in the Philippines. This study was conducted briefly; hence, other indices used may provide substantial evidence if the experiment is prolonged.
