<![CDATA[This research aimed to determine effect of applying sugarcane litter on the abundance of Collembola species in sugarcane fields using the IPM and conventional systems. This research was conducted from August to January 2021 in sugarcane plantation at sweetener and fiber crop research center (BALITTAS), Karangploso, Malang. Data were analyzed using the formula of diversity index, evenness and dominance and further analyzed with the T test. The results showed there were 5 families of Collembola found in IPM field namely Brachystomellidae, Neanuridae, Sminthuridae, Isotomidae and Entomobrydae. On conventional field, there was no family Neanuridae. Application of litter and intercropping on IPM field increased population of Collembola, while in conventional field, the Collembola population was lower. Application of sugarcane litter increased the levels of organic matter and population Collembola in IPM sugarcane field]]>
