Abstract

Agroforestry systems integrate trees with crops and / or livestock, to the best use of natural resources, helps keep the man in the field, reduces deforestation and improves quality of life of those involved. The identification of the ecological relationships between entomofauna and farming is an important step in maintaining balance. This study was conducted in a saf Federal Institute of Sergipe in Campus São Cristóvão, with Gliricidia, Eucalyptus, Rubber and Craibeira. The insects were captured with pitfalls during the rainy season. 766 insects were collected, the orders Hymenoptera (63.18%) and Orthoptera (27.80%) were the most abundant. The family Formicidae represented (61.48%) of the insects collected and (97.31%) of the order Hymenoptera.
