A country is acutely needed to establish a marine salvage & oil spills response system in order to prepare for a disaster. When a severe marine accidents occur, our country depends on foreign technique because of the insufficiency of facilities and technique. The damage of accidents expands due to not taking proper actions in early stage. Accordingly, in case of marine accidents, this paper aims to suggest a various scheme of infrastructure, investment of facilities, technical development, improvement of ability and etc. in salvage & oil spills response system in order to quick and effective response to the marine casualties.

Large patch disease in Zoysia japonica Steud. is the most destructive disease in turfgrass. For large patch management, it has been dependent on chemical controls but pesticides are harmful to soil, water and biodiversity. In this study, we evaluated 4 Streptomyces spp. strains (S2, S5, S8 and S12) which were selected in previous studies using metagenome approaches. Root colonization of the strains, large patch suppressing effect and the pathogen density change in actual golf course were investigated to evaluate biological control potential of the strains. All strains exhibited reliable root colonization ability that strains populations were higher than $6log\;cfu\;g^{-1}$ in turfgrass rhizosphere. The pathogen density, with S8 treatment, was detected average of 0.7 after a week and average of 1.2 after 4 weeks. Disease control and suppressive the pathogen population by S8 strain showed higher efficiency than other strains. S8 was applied in an actual golf course for the large patch control and pathogen density. The pathogen density in S8 treatment plot was detected below 1.6 per toothpick and lower compared with untreated plot. The results indicated that pathogen density was suppressed by S8 and the stain has great potential as a biological control agent for the large patch.

Four promising biocontrol agents against Phytophthora capsici were selected from 507 bacterial isolates collected from rhizosphere soils and roots of pepper plants. In vitro experiment, these four biocontrol agents inhibited mycelial growth, germination of cystospores, and formation of zoosporangia and zoospores of Phytophthora capsici. In the pot experiment, the four biocontrol agents showed control efficiency higher than 70%. In greenhouse experiment, the isolates G28-6 gave the control value of 79.4%. These four biocontrol agents successfully colonized in the population density beyond 105 cfu/g on roots of pepper in vitro. The isolates G28-6 was identified as Pseudomonas aurantiaca, based on its cultural, morphological, and biochemical characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.

The object of this study is to review the current states of the characteristics and strategies to control annual bluegrass to apply information to the circumstance of South Korea. Annual bluegrass is one of the most widespread turfgrass species which has great ability to produce seedhead and shoot growth. It also has ability to tolerate low mowing height and to form uniformity of turfgrass when it is established. Annual bluegrass is well-known as weak turfgrass for high and low temperature. High rate of nitrogen and phosphorus improves growth of annual bluegrass. To control annual bluegrass, deep and infrequent irrigation is more effective than light and frequent irrigation. Clipping removal is more effective than clipping return to control annual bluegrass. Prodiamine, bensulide, and dithiopyr are applied as pre-emergence herbicide, and ethofumesate and bisbyribac-sodium are used as post-emergence herbicide. Paclobutrazol and flurprimidol are used as plant growth regulator. Trinexapac which is one of the most popular plant growth regulators (PGRs) in South Korea is not proper to control annual bluegrass because it accelerates improve growth of annual bluegrass in summer. Although chemical control is mainly used in South Korea, combination of cultural and chemical control may be the strategy to maximize effectiveness to control annual bluegrass.

In order to improve practical utility of agro-microorganisms (AMs) which had been cultured and disseminated to promote plant growth and to control crop diseases, 51 isolates of AMs were collected from 18 agricultural extension centers in local government and screened for multi-functions such as antifungal activity, activities of phosphorus solubilization, IAA and siderophore production, nitrogen fixation, and hydrolytic enzyme activity. Finally we selected one isolate showing good antifungal activity and multi-functions related to plant growth and disease control. The selected isolate, Paenibacillus polymyxa CW, showed good inhibitory effect against plant pathogens, Pyricularia gresea, Colletotrichum acutatum, Fusarium oxysporum, Phomopsis sp., Aspergillus niger, Rhizoctonia solani and Phytophthora capsici. Suppressive effect of P. polymyxa CW against the used plant pathogens except for R. solani was much higher than that of P. polymyxa AC-1 storing in National Academy of Agricultural Science. We found P. polymyxa CW isolate showed good activity in siderophore and IAA formation, and nitrogen fixation. With P. polymyxa CW isolate, siderophore formation activity was similar to that of P. polymyxa AC-1, but IAA formation and nitrogen fixation activity was much higher than that of P. polymyxa AC-1. However neither P. polymyxa CW nor P. polymyxa AC-1 showed hydrolytic enzyme (chitinase, pectinase and cellulase) activity. The treatment of P. polymyxa CW with culture suspension of different cell density ($10^8$, $10^7$. $10^6$ cfu/ml) showed that the highest density reduced incidence of red pepper powdery mildew by 68.3% after 10 days of application. As application density of P. polymyxa CW was decreased, its control efficacy was proportionally decreased. In addition, when P. polymyxa CW was treated to control tomato powdery mildew at the same concentrations and their control effects were investigated after 7 days of inoculation, disease incidence was 0.03, 19.5, 45.7%, respectively, compared to 56.3% that of untreated check. Like red pepper powdery mildew, increase of application density of P. polymyxa CW resulted in increase of its control efficacy proportionally. P. polymyxa CW showed a density-dependent control efficacy against red pepper and tomato powdery mildews. Therefore we think that mode of action of the antagonist for suppressing two powdery mildew diseases might be antibiosis and density of more than $10^8cfu/ml$ was needed to control effectively the two diseases. On this basis, we think that P. polymyxa CW can be a promising control agent for suppressing powdery mildews of red pepper and tomato.

토양에 존재하는 진균인 Gliocladium virens는 식물병을 감소 또는 방제할 수 있는 생물학적인 특성에 의하여 G. virens는 지난 수십년간 실용가능성이 큰 생물학적 방제균(또는 길항균)으로 집중적으로 연구되었다. 이 균이 식물병의 발생을 감소시키는 생물적 방제효과는 항생작용, 중복기생, 근권에서의 생존과 집단번식, 뿌리표면에서의 정착 등에 의한 것으로 분류되고 있다. 특히, 항생물질인 gliotoxin, gliovirin, viridin 등은 Rhizoctonia solani 및/또는 Pythium spp. 등에 항생효과가 뚜렷하고, 식물병의 발생과 직접적인 상관관계를 나타내고 있어 G. virens의 식물병의 방제에 관련된 중요한 작용기작으로 제시되어 있다. 또한, 근권에서 이균의 생존과 집단증식 및 뿌리표면에서의 정착은 식물병의 방제와 상관관계를 나타낼 수 있는 중요한 작용기작으로 제시되고 있다. 그러나 이균이 R. solani 등에 기생하는 현상은 식물병의 생물적 방제의 직접적인 연관관계를 나타내고 있지 않다. G. virens을 이용의 생물적 방제효과를 증진시키기 위한 방법으로 다음과 같은 두 가지 방법을 들 수 있다. 첫째, 길항효과가 높은 G. virens 균주를 선발하기 위하여 여러 종류의 토양에서 길항력이 높은 G. virens의 선발이 지난 수십년간 진행되고 있다. 또한, 특정 길항효과를 발현하는 유전자를 G. virens의 염색체에 도입하고 이를 발현시킴으로써 생물적 방제효과를 증진시키는 것으로 이러한 방법은 1980년 후반부터 진행되고 있다. 둘째, G. virens의 길항효과가 최대의 효율로 발현될 수 있도록 최적의 미세환경을 갖추고 있으며 농민이 편리하게 사용할 수 있는 G. virens의 운송매체의 개발이 중요하다. 운송매체의 개발에 의한 'Glioguard'는 G. virens의 포자를 alginate 입자에 제형화한 것으로서 미국에서 시판되고 있다. Aldicarb, metalaxyl, atrazine 등의 농약을 분해할 수 있는 능력은 G. virens의 다른 생물적 특성중의 하나이다. 특히, parathion을 분해할 수 있는 Flavobacterium sp.의 유전자(opd)가 G. virens의 염색체에 도입되여 발현될 수 있는 방법이 제시되었으며, 이는 G. virens을 이용한 토양에서의 특정한 농약의 분해효율을 증진시킬수 있는 가능성을 제시한 것이다. 그러나, G. virens를 이용한 농약의 생물적 분해에 관한 연구는 기초단계로 평가되고 있으며, 포장에서 이를 실용화하기 위해서는 향후 지속적인 연구가 필요하다.
