Abstract
⺠Earthworms were collected in 34 farms with no-tillage, aging from 3 to 27 yr. ⺠Species richness ranged from 1 to 6 species with predominance of Dichogaster spp. ⺠Earthworm abundance ranged from 5 to 605 ind. mâ2. ⺠Soil quality of NT systems was classified using earthworm abundance and species richness. ⺠Most farms still need management improvements to enhance earthworm populations.
