Diversity and distribution of collembola in Agriculture soil of Agropark, Uuiversiti Malaysia Kelantan, Jeli Campus, Kelautan

The diversity and distribution of Collembola in agriculture soil of Agropark, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, Jeli Campus were determined to study the potential of Collembola as a bioindicator of soil. The methods used in this study were sampling by using the modified PVC pipe, extracting by using the Tullgren funnel, counting by using the stereo and compound microscope, identifying to family level and preserving the Collembola using 70% ethanol. The Shannon-Wiener index represented the value of 2.1746, the Pielou’s evenness with the value of 0.8751 and Margalefs index represented the value of 1.8679, proving that the diversity and distribution of Collembola at Agropak is high. The Collembola which acts as a bioindicator of soil at Agropark shows the soil fertility level. Based on this study, the agriculture soil of Agropark can be categorized as a fertile soil.
