The objective was to evaluate the dynamics of the epiedaphic macrofauna in an area under noni cultivation (Morinda citrifolia L.) submitted to different soil management practices, in two collection periods. The experimental design used was in randomized blocks in a 2 x 2 x 4 factorial scheme, with three replications. The treatments consisted of a combination of factors with and without intercropping with banana, with and without soil cover with banana straw, and doses of bovine biofertilizer (0.0; 2.5; 5.0 and 7.5 L plant - 1). For the capture of the epiedaptic macrofauna, pitfall-type fall traps were installed, installed in the rainy (August) and dry (November) periods of 2019. The community was analyzed according to the parameters of abundance, frequency, wealth and diversity and the data were submitted to analysis of variance, grouping and linear correlation. The highest abundance and frequency of macrofauna were found in the dry season, but the greatest richness and diversity occurred in the rainy season. In both periods of collection, the predominance was of the order Hymenoptera. The indexes of richness and diversity revealed, in the rainy and dry period, the highest values, for the treatments of doses of biofertilizer associated with consortium or cover. Significant effects of the collection periods were found on the macrofauna and for interaction between consortium and cover. There was a significant correlation between Diptera and organic matter content. Epiedaphic macrofauna proved to be an important bioindication tool in noni cultivation areas under different management practices, in two collection periods.
