Three kinds of disease occurring on ginseng leaves, such as grey mold, Alternaria blight, and anthracnose, started at the beginning of June, July, and August, respectively. The disease incidence was rapidly increased from the beginning of rainy season. To develop the control system with fungicides, 6 fungicides were selected and applied on ginseng at the indicated time. Calculating the control value by using the area under the disease progressing curve (AUDPC), the control activities of the supervised control system with fungicides were 61.7, 78.8 and 70.5% against grey mold, Alternaria blight, and anthracnose, respectively. The application of the mixture of carbendazim and diethofencarb on first of June was very important in control system with fungicides. If it was deleted in control system, control value was decreased against grey mold. In the case of Alternaria blight and anthracnose, the application of difenoconazole on July 18, and trifloxystrobin on August 7 were indispensible. If difenoconazole and trifloxystrobin were not applied on July 18, and August 7, the control activities against Alternaria blight and anthracnose, respectively, were decreased to 28.9% and 44.4%.

Jujube witches' broom (JWB) disease is a high-risk plant disease that occurred on and devastated jujube orchards throughout South Korea in the 1950s. Recently, as the jujube cultivation area has been significantly increased nationwide, we investigated the disease in jujube orchards in the Boeun region to obtain basic information for proactively evaluating the risk of JWB outbreaks from 2017 to 2019. A field trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of the trunk injection of Sungbocycline (a. i. oxytetracycline calcium alkyl trimethyl ammonium 17%, OTC). The incidence of JWB disease was very low in Boeun, but it was gradually increased mainly in the area and on the farms where it had occurred previously. The trunk injection with OTC was most effective in the early stages of growth. However, even though the trees were treated with OTC, disease symptoms appeared in other healthy branches in severely affected trees. When the tree was first injected with OTC in June, the control efficacy of second injection was higher one month after the first injection than five months. These results suggest that early diagnosis based on various symptoms and early control based on them can be very effective in preventing JWB disease in advance and increasing control efficacy.

Herbicidal activity and characteristics of chrysophanic acid were investigated in semi-field condition. At early and middle post-emergence, Trifolium repens appeared to be very susceptible to chrysophanic acid of $2,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. However, herbicidal activity of chrysophanic acid of $2,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ estimated by visual injury to Artemisia princeps was not caused considerable phytotoxicity. Also by foliar application, the concentration of crysophanic acid for effectively control to Polygonum aviculare was much higher than $2,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. Herbicidal activity of chrysophanic acid to Echinochloa crus-galli, Cypres difformis, Setaria viridis, Digitaria sangguinalis, Bidens tripartita by foliar application was more effective at concentration ranges from 4,000 to $6,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. These results suggest that chrysophanic acid demanded for higher than $2,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ to successful weed control in the field condition.

This study was conducted to develop an efficient control method for water foxtail in the field sowing barley and wheat seeds before rice harvesting. When thifensulfuron-methyl (75%) was applied 0, 5 and 10 days after rice harvesting, little phytotoxicity was observed on both barley and wheat. Percent of water foxtail control with thifensulfuron-methyl (75%) was more than 88% at three different application timing. When butachlor (5%) was applied 5 days before barley and wheat sowing, phytotoxicity on barley and wheat was severe. However, no phytotoxicity was observed on barley and wheat 5 and 10 days after rice harvesting. Percent of water foxtail control with butachlor 0 and 5 days after rice harvesting was 85-89%. However, it dropped to 74-80% when applied 10 days after rice harvesting. In the thifensulfuron-methyl treatment, the dry matter of barley and wheat was 96-108% and 100-108%, respectively when compared with untreated control. While, in the butachlor treatment, the dry matter of barley and wheat was 53-73% and 106%, respectively when compared with untreated control. Therefore, we recommend thifensulfuron-methyl (75%) 0-10 days after rice harvesting or butachlor (5%) 5 days after rice harvesting to provide efficient water foxtail control and safe barley and wheat production.

Herbicidal activities of newly synthesized experimental compound, KSC-13906 [Erythro N-{(4,6-dimethoxy pyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbgnyl}-2-(2-fluoro-1- hydroxy-n-propyl)benzenesulfonamide, US Patent 5,461,025], were investigated in greenhouse and field for development as a paddy herbicide. KSC-13906 exihibited excellent weeding effects and selectivity to rice under submerged paddy condition in geenhouse. At the application rate of $2.5{\sim}5$ g ai/ha treated on surface of water, KSC-13906 effectively controlled three annual weeds such as Echinochloa crus-galli var. oryzicola. Scirpus juncoides, and Monochoria vaginalis as well as five perennial weeds such as Cyperus serotinus, Sagittaria pygmaea, Eleocharis kuroguwai, Potamogeton distinctus, and S. trifolia. However, there was no effect on Aneilema keisak and Lindernia procumbens. Especially, KSC-13906 effectively controlled Echinochloa crus-galli var. oryzicola at growth stages ranging from pre-emergence to 3-leaf stage. Antagonistic interaction was found between pyrazosulfuron-ethyl and mefenacet, but not between KSC-13906 ana mefenacet. KSC-13906 had high selectivity to transplanted rice, but caused phytotoxic effect on direct-seeded rice when treated before 3-leaf stage. Herbicidal activity of KSC-13906 on the Echinochloa crus-galli var. oryzicola was 7-folds greater than that of pyrazosulfuron-ethyl in terms of relative dose ratio of the herbicides. These results suggest that KSC-13906 possesses selective herbicidal potency in rice.

Tetrapion(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropionate sodium) has commonly been used for reed(Phragmites communis Trin.) control in uncultivated areas, especially in Japan. As an attempt to establish the screening system for selective herbicide controlling reed, tetrapion was tested as a standard herbicide to various weeds and crops including rice in a greenhouse. Symptoms of yellowing, twisting, stunting, and necrosis were observed in the herbicide-treated plants. The herbicide caused a severe damage on all crops examined, except cotton. Both direct seeded and transplanted rice were also sensitive to the herbicide. Its herbicidal activity was generally higher on grass weeds than on broadleaf weeds. It had a higher herbicidal activity with preemergence treatment than with postemergence treatment. In addition, field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to examine the effect of the herbicide on reed control. Its effect varied with the soil type of the treated field and the growth stage of reed. A relatively high dosage of the herbicide was required to control reed. It had an almost same effect on fairygrass(Miscanthus sinensis Anderss) as on reed. However, reed grown in a greenhouse was effectively controlled by the herbicide, having more effect with preemergence treatment than with postemergence treatment as observed in other plants treated with the herbicide. In conclusion, tetrapion has a great potential as a standard herbicide during the herbicide screening for selective reed control.

Field validation of PBcast, an infection risk model for Phytophthora blight of pepper, was conducted through a designed field experiment in 2012 and 2013. Conduciveness of weather conditions at 26 locations in Korea in 2014-2017 was also evaluated using PBcast. The PBcast estimated daily infection risk (IR) of Phytophthora capsici based on weather and soil texture data. In the designed filed experiment, four treatments including routine sprays at 7-day intervals (RTN7), forecast-based sprays when IR reached 200 (IR200) and 224 (IR224), and no spray (CTRL) were compared in terms of disease incidence and number of sprays recommended for disease control. In 2012, IR had reached over 200 twice, but never reached 224. In 2013, IR had reached over 200 three times and once higher than 224. The RTN7 plots were sprayed 17 and 18 times in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Weather conditions throughout the country were generally conducive for Phytophthora blight and 3-4 times of fungicide sprays would have been reduced if the PBcast forecast information was adopted in the decision-making for fungicide sprays. In conclusion, the PBcast forecast would be useful to reduce fungicide applications without losing the disease control efficacy to protect pepper crop from Phytophthora blight.

Polydnavirus is a mutualistic DNA virus found in some braconid and ichneumonid wasps. Its genome is integrated into host chromosome as a provirus. Its replication occurs at ovarian calyx epithelium during host pupal stage to form episomal viral particles. The viral particles are delivered into hemocoel of the parasitized insect along with eggs during wasp oviposition. Several polydnaviral genomes, which are isolated from the episomal virus particles, have been sequenced and exhibit some gene families with speculative physiological functions. This review presents the viral characteristics in terms of Its parasitic physiology. For developing new insect pest control tactics, it also discusses several application strategies exploiting the viral genome to manipulate insect physiology.

토마토 잎에 집적된 triflumizole 잔류량 동태에 미치는 온도 영향과 Cladosporium fulvum에 대한 triflumizole의 살균효과를 구명하였다. 8주간 키운 토마토 식물체에 triflumizole을 분무 살포한 후 식물생장용 항온실에서 키우면서 4가지 온도 조건을 처리하였다. 주기적으로 토마토 잎을 채취하여 HPLC 방법을 이용하여 triflumizole의 잔류량을 조사하였다. Triflumizole 잔류량의 경시적 동태는 약제살포후 적산온도를 독립변수로 사용하는 지수적 감소 몸형으로 나타낼수 있었으며, 이는 triflumizole의 잔류성이 온도 영향을 크게 받는다는 것을 뜻한다. 경기도 농촌진흥원에 위치한 토마토 비닐하우스에서 수행한 실험에서 얻은 자료를 이용하여 평가한 결과 이 모형의 타당성이 인정되었다. Triflumizole의 약효에 대한 in vitro 실험 결과, 이 살균제는 C. fulvum의 균사 생장과 포자형성을 뚜렷이 억제하였으며, 잎곰팡이병 방제를 위해서는 토마토 잎에 집적된 triflumizole 잔류량이 최소한 10 ppm 이상이 되어야 할 것으로 추측된다. 본 연구에서 연구된 지수적 감소 모형은 토마토 잎에 집적된 triflumizole 잔류량을 추정하는데 활용될 수 있으며, 실용적인 측면에서 볼 때, 토마토 잎곰팡이병을 효과적으로 방제하는데 필요한 triflumizole의 최소 잔류량을 식물체에 유지하기 위하여 triflumizole을 살포해야 할 시기를 결정하는데 활용될 수 있다.

Effect of perfluidone(2-methyl-4-phenylsulphonyltrifluoromethylsulphoanilide) and bifenox(2,4-dichlorophenyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-4-nitrophenylether) mixture on weed control and plant growth and yield of transplanted rice was determined. Perfluidone-bifenox mixture applied at 75-105 g a.i./10a controlled effectively perennial weeds such as Sagittaria pygmaea Miq., Potamogeton dtstinctus A. Benn., Cyperus serotinus Rottb, Eleocharis kuroguwai Ohwi, including most annual weeds, but did not control Sagittaria trifolia L.. There was no phytotoxicity caused by perfluidone-bifenox mixture when applied at 100-140 g a.i./10a. The mixture at 150-210 g a.i./10a caused crop injury, but did not affect the yield. Phytotoxicity due to the mixture decreased as the application time was delayed.
