The spiders are one of the most important predators that produce the mortality of the plague insects. The spider community was sampled with nets, plant pocketed and pit fall traps on soybean crop and the wild vegetation on the borders (2h manual capture). The samples are done during the crop development (December to mid-May) and, in the fallow period (mid-May to November), in order to know spiders specific composition, to compare specific diversity through Shannon index, and, to analyze the colonization process. Total specific richness was 37 species grouped in 13 families, and the dominant sp...
