ABSTRACT
Sustaining biodiversity as well as taking advantage of the natural environment’s resistance are the key elements which
should be considered when designing integrated plans for the protection of hazelnut groves. An effort has been made in this study
to analyse the impact of different soil cultivation methods in hazelnut groves, on the species composition and number of individuals
in carabid assemblages (Coleoptera: Carabidae). Another aim was to determine which method of inter-row soil management had the
least negative effect on assemblages of these beetles. Because of the type of habitat, the xerothermic species characteristic for south-eastern Europe, i.e.
Calathus ambiguus,
Poecilus lepidus,
Harpalus calceatus, and
H. griseus, were the most numerous. The qualitative and
quantitative analysis of the captured individuals implied that the optimal soil tillage system in young hazelnut groves is when soil
is kept fallow with machines or chemicals, or when soil is covered with manure. The least favourable practice for the appearance of
ground beetles of the Carabidae family is the use of polypropylene fabric, bark or sawdust, to cover soil.
