O cultivo de olerícolas pode ser produzido no sistema convencional utilizando defensivos agrícolas e fertilizantes sintéticos, ou no sistema orgânico, quando não há a utilização de defensivos sintéticos e tem como principal fonte de adubação, resíduos orgânicos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a biomassa e a atividade microbiana do solo em sistemas de cultivo orgânico e convencional com suas respectivas áreas de referência. Para isso, foram coletadas amostras de solo em três propriedades agrícolas com sistema de cultivo convencional e outras três com sistema de cultivo orgânico, além de suas respectivas áreas de referência. Foram determinados o carbono e nitrogênio microbiano e total, e a respiração basal após 57 dias de incubação. A maior variação na taxa de respiração basal entre a área de produção e a área de referência foi observada no sistema orgânico. Os teores de nutrientes no solo, carbono e nitrogênio microbianos foram maiores nas áreas de produção do que os encontrados nas áreas de referência.The horticultural crops can be produced with the conventional system using pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, or organic system where there is no use of synthetic pesticides and its main source of nutrients are organic wastes. This study aimed to assess the biomass and soil microbial activity in organic production systems and conventional with their respective reference areas. In this study, soil samples were sampled in three farms with conventional tillage and three other with organ system, and their respective reference areas. It was determined total carbon and nitrogen and microbial, and microbial activity after 57 days of incubation. The greatest variation in basal respiration rate between the respective production area and reference area was observed in the organic system. The nutrients in the soil microbial carbon and nitrogen were higher in the production areas than those in the reference areas.
