Collembola are one of the ecosystem components that are important in keeping the
ecosystem stability. Beside its role as the decomposer, Collembola also takes part as the
alternative foods for arthropod predators. This research was aimed to know the diversity and
abundance of Collembola top soil on land area of Cruciferae in agrotourism and in the edge of
the forest in Serang, Purbalingga, Central Java. The sampling was done using pitfall trap. The
results showed that the abundance of Collembola on land area of Cruciferae in the edge of the
forest is higher than on land area of Cruciferae in agrotourism, but the diversity of Collembola
in agrotorism was not different from that of in the edge of the forest. Hypogastruridae was the
family with the highest abundance on land area of Cruciferae in the edge of the forest, while
Entomobryidae was the family with the highest abundance on land area of Cruciferae in
agrotourism
