Abstract

2plots of cultivated and uncultivated grassland and 500 c.c. of soil sample was taken from the plot. The soil samples were taken from the rhizospheres of different plants and grass. For extraction of the soil arthropod fauna 500 c.c. of soil sample was put in a modified Tulgren Funnel apparatus using 40 watt Electric bulb as heat source. Usually the samples were kept in the funnel for 72 hours. Apart from the extraction of microarthropods, the soil samples were analysed to determine the pH using Systronic pH meter and the soil salinity was determined by using the Refractometer. The soil tempetrature was recorded at the time of sampling by inserting a soil thermometer in the soil of the sampling site.
