This study was carried out with the aim of identifying the abundance and analogy of the leaf cutter ant in agroforestry, silvopastoral and traditional production systems in an area of the municipality of La Plata. In several parts of the land transects were marked off, consisting of 10 points randomly located which were separated by a distance of about 50 mts; each of these points was georeferenced, placing four traps per point, two bait stations and two free fall traps, so that 40 traps spread across 3 transects for a total of 120. Thus Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility (TSBF) was applied. Using bait traps and direct capture 5928 individuals were captured during 10 replicates of the sampling in each production system, carried out in the months of April, May, June, July and August of 2014. This work let identify three species of ants, Atta which belongs to the genus, species (Atta colombica) and two species Acromyrmex gender (octospinosus and Acromyrmex Acromyrmex echinatior) of the Attini family. The accumulation curves of transects 1, 2, and 3 showed that sampling was effective since estimators behaved similarly. The best method to capture ants was the free fall trap, to determine the abundance and to identify the species. Therefore, this type of sampling serves as a model applicable to specific studies on the leaf cutter ant in the department of Huila and its dynamics in cropping systems.
