Phytophagous insects associated with Dicotyledoneae weeds and host specificities in the field populations were investigated for the survey of biological control agents of weeds in Korea. Fifty four weed species in 39 genera were collected during the survey. The most insects were collected from Polygonales by 24 species in 22 genera and followed by Urticales and Centrospermales by 17 species of 17 genera. The insects collected in the other weed orders were ranged from 1 to 12 species. Out of 17 insect species collected in Urticales, Baris sp. damaged the leaves of Hamulus japonicus in Cannabinaceae as scattered holeshape and showed host specificity. In Polygonaceae, Rumex japonicus and R. crispus were severely damaged by Aphis rumicis and Gastrophysa atrocyanea. G. atrocyanea leaf beetle had host specificity on R. japonicus and ate all the leaves except veins. The leaf beetle, Lypesthes japonicus was a potential biological control agent by feeding leaves of Persicaria spp .. And Lixus spp. were also often collected from Persicaria spp .. Liothrips vaneeckei was first collected from weed, P. modosa. P. senticosa was damaged by unidentified geometrid moth larvae and P. perfoiliata by Miarus atricolor snout beetle. Cassida piperata damaged leaves of Chenopodium album of Centrospermales and showed host specificity. In a soybean field, C. album and Amaranthus mangostanus were severely damaged by Spodoptera litura larvae which were eating soybean leaves. This phenomenon indicates that the presence of weed in cultivated land influences the outbreak of insect pests. Altica oleracea leaf beetle was frequently collected from Oenothera spp. of Onagraceae in Myrtales. Aphis gossyphi was outbroken on Solanum nigrum and Phylliodes brettinghami leaf beetle was first recorded on the same plant. Leaf beetles, Longitarsus scutellais and Hemipyxis plagioderoides were first collected from Plantago asiatica of Plantaginaceae in Plantaginales. They showed host specificities in the fields. The hemipterans were collected from many weeds during the survey and their roles on weeds should be investigated. A tractomorpha bedeli was also collected from many kinds of weeds in forest areas.

한국의 뽕나무 해충은 210종 이상이 기록되었다. 과거 4반세기 동안 다수의 합성농약이 농림해충 및 위생해충 방제에 큰 공헌을 해 온 것은 주지의 사실이다. 그러나 뽕나무의 해충에 대해서는 농약에 대한 내약력이 가장 약한 누에에 미칠 악영향 때문에 여러 가지 어려운 점이 많아서 외국에서도 잔효성이 짧은 TEPP 또는 DDVP등이 사용되고 있을 정도이다. 한국에서도 뽕나무순혹파리 방제를 위해서 초여름에 BHC 분제의 토양처리가 실천되어 왔으며 근래에는 뽕나무애바구미의 피해가 심해져서 몇 가지 살충제로 방제시험이 백에 의해서 이루어 졌을 뿐이다· 따라서 뽕나무해풍 방제를 위해서는 천적을 이용한 방제가 바람직하다 하겠다. 필자들은 우선 천적으로서의 거미의 분포 실태를 파악하기 위하여 수원시 소재 잠업시험장 뽕밭에서 1971-72년에 조사하였다. (Fig. 1) 조사된 뽕밭의 면적을 27a이었으며 9개의 조사구를 택하고 이것을 생태적 환경에 따라 3군으로 나누어 비교해 보았다. A, B 및 C구는 동쪽 가에 위치하며 가로등과 3개의 잠실의 등불의 영향을 받아 해충의 밀도가 높았으며 E, D 및 H구는 뽕밭의 중앙부이며 뽕나무 오갈병의 피해가 심하여 뽕나무가 작았고 또한 결주도 많았다. F, G 및 I구는 도로를 격하고 뽕밭 또는 초지에 면한 가장자리 이었 다. 이밖에 수시로 근처의 딴 뽕밭에서 채집한 것도 포함하여 4,987마리의 거미를 조사한 바 17과 47속 66종에 이르렀다. 이것을 Abe의 보고와 비교한 때 종수가 월등 많았으며 또한 Kayashima의 보고와는 달리 풀거미속(Agelena)거미가 훨씬 적은 것이 특이하였다. 채집된 거미를 그 생태에 기초하여 4군으로 나누어 천적으로서의 가치를 비교해 보면 다음과 같다. A군 : 대형의 둥근 망을 치는 종류들로서 날으는 곤충을 잡아먹는데 천적으로서 그다지 중요하지는 않다. 106주에서 245마리가 채집되었으며 (Tetragnatha squamata)가 우량종이었다. B군 : 소형의 둥근 망을 가지나 잎사이에 치는 종들로서 비록 몸은 작지만 가장 중요한 천적이다. 꼬마거미과 애접시거미과에 속하는 거미들이며 18종, 2,815마리가 잡혔다 우점종은 (Erigoridium raminicola),(Theridion octomaculata) (Enoplognatha spp.)이었다. C군 : 떠돌이거미로서 소형곤충을 잡아먹어 유력한 천적이다 26종 1,727마리가 잡혔으며 게거미과, 깡총거미과 및 염낭거미과의 거미들이 우점종이었다. D군 : 지상을 걸어다니는 떠돌이거미로서 늑대거미과가 약간 잡혔으나 천적으로서 중요한 것으로는 생각되지 않는다. 앞으로 이들과 해충과의 관계를 조사구명 해야 할 것이다.

As the model compounds, citral and n-octanol which possess similar characteristics and structures of low molecular weight insect pheromones and $({\pm})-5-hydroxy-4-methyl-heptan-3-one$ which shows the aggregation pheromones activity of the rice weevil and the maize weevil were microencapsulated with low molecular weight polyethylene(LMPE) and urea-formaldehyde resin as wall materials. The core materials were microencapsulated as small particles in LMPE and urea-formaldehyde resin polymers and the microencapsulated polymers were white powders. And the polymer made from urea-formaldehyde resin was better than that from LMPE as wall material. The slow releasing effect and the releasing patten of the microencapsulated core materials were examined by solvent extraction method and headspace sampling method. Citral and n-octanol and $({\pm})-5-hydroxy-4-methyl-heptan-3-one$ were release more than 40 days and 15 days, respectively. The releasing pattern of urea-formaldehyde resin microcapsules showed rather smooth decrease than that of LMPE and was maintained at steady level longer.

This study was conducted to build basic terrestrial insect data for the management of the persimmon plantations in the Sangju dried persimmon agricultural area. The survey identified terrestrial insect species were 7 orders, 77 families, and 1,925 individuals of 177 species. And the number of species that appeared in each village was in the order of Seoman II Village in Naeseo Township > Seoman I Village in Naeseo Township > Soeun Village in Oenam Township. Hemiptera and Coleoptera predominated throughout the site due to the characteristics of the cultivated land. The special species were 13 Korean endemic species, 2 vulnerable (VU) species, 22 least concern (LC) species, 42 not-evaluated (NE) species on the national red list, and 2 species of ecosystem disturbance wildlife. A result of the cluster analysis identified the Ectmetopterus micantulusas the dominant species and Ceutorhynchus albosuturalisas the subdominant species. The species diversity (H') was 1.1636-1.6022, evenness (J') was 0.6748-0.7611, and dominance (D) was in the range of 0.2389-0.3252.

We tried to establish the history of outbreaks and control methods of 'hwangchung' in Joseon Dynasty, uncovering the biological reality of the 'hwangchung' (called hwang or bihwang) analyzed through the Database program on 'the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty' and 'the Emollment of Haegoeje', two of the finest examples of classical historical records. The total number of articles on the outbreak of the hwangchung is 261 in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty and 65 in the Emollment of Haegoeje. There were four peaks by hwangchung throughout the Joseon Era. Among them, the periods of King Taejo to King Sejong had the highest incidence. By comparing the number of records of the hwangchung from the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty with that in the Emollment of Haegoeje during the same period, results show the former was less than the latter, 35 vs 65. However, both records were relatively inconsistent with each other. Insect pests in forests as well as in agriculture were included in the biological identities of the hwangchung in the Joseon Dynasty periods, which is in accordance with those of Saigo's. The taxonomic identity could be confirmed in only 25 cases (9.5%) among the articles on hwangchung. It largely coincided with Paik's opinion: II in armyworm, nine in moth larva, one in rice stem borer, two in migratory locust, one in planthopper and one in rice-plant weevil. Therefore, it is not reasonable to regard hwangchung as a migratory locust or grasshopper only. The number of reports on the occurrence of hwangchung in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty was 173 (66% of the total) and 47% of them were just simple reports, which means the report itself on the appearance of hwangchung was very significant. The reports on controlling insect pests were of low frequency, in 20% (34 cases) of the total reports, capturing insect pests or holding traditional ceremony called 'Poje'. Among them, only one case related to the treatment of seeds to prevent the damage by hwangchung was published in the King Sejong period. There were 37 discussions about changes and management of government policies due to disasters by hwangchung. They were mostly about relief or tax cut to the people who suffered damage and about cancellation of recruiting people to military training, constructing castles, and so on. It seems that not only the people but also the king was influenced by the hwangchung. In the case of King Seongjong, he referred to the stress of the prevention measure of locusts in 10 articles. The damage also had an effect on abdication in the reign of King Jeongjong.
