Abstract

Agricultural systems are areas of land where humans manipulate physical, chemical, and biological processes using a cluster of practices to obtain a benecial product for their use. To understand the level of organization in a particular region we must consider biotic and abiotic factors and the interaction between them to employ best conservation practices to restore biodiversity in this region. Ants perform a different role in agro ecosystems like pollination, soil turbation, bio indication and the regulation of crop-damaging insects. Agro ecology management of ants in tree cropping systems required some information about positive and negative impacts on crops and pest species. This review article provides an overview of knowledge of the roles performed by ants in agricultural habitats.
