On the leaf disc of fruit vegetables (cucumber, sweet pepper, tomato, egg plant, oriental melon), it has been evaluated that the capability of four predatory mites (Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot, Neoseiulus barkeri (Hughes), N. cucumeris (Oudemans), N. californicus (McGregor)) to prey on the eggs of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) and to lay own eggs. The most aggressive mite was A. swirskii which had consumed about $9{\sim}12$ eggs in a day. The quantity of eggs consumed by N. barkeri, N. cucumeris and N. californicus was about $6{\sim}9,\;4{\sim}6$ and $1{\sim}4$, respectively. The most productive mite was also A. swirskii which had laid about $1.2{\sim}1.9$ eggs in a day. The others could not lay more than 0.5 eggs in a day.

The susceptibility of the predatory mite, Neoseiulus californicus to extracts of Melia azedarach, Piper nigrum, Syringa velutina and their mixtures was evaluated in laboratory bioassays. In treatments with plant extracts tested, 76-86% of adult female predators survived after 7 days after treatment. Adult female predators treated with plant extracts tested produced 68.3-81.1% as many eggs as did control females and eclosion of eggs deposited by treated predators was not affected. Moreover, treatment of plant extracts tested showed no toxic effect on N. californicus eggs and produced 100% hatchability. Survival of N. californicus nymphs was not seriously affected by exposure to the plant extracts tested. Immatures of N. californicus survived on the leaf disc treated with plant extracts tested and 78-90% of immature predators reached adulthood. These results suggest that extracts of Melia azedarach, Piper nigrum, Syringa velutina and their mixtures expected to be promising candidates for use in integrated mite management program with N. californicus.

Effects of 9 acaricides to the predatory mite, Neoseiulus californicus were evaluated. Seven of the acaricides tested, cyenopyrafen. spirodiclofen, spiromesifen, acequinocyl, bifenazate, flufenoxuron and cyflumetofen exhibited low toxicity to adult females and nymphs of N. californicus and had little effect on the reproduction and eclosion of eggs deposited by treated predators. Moreover, hatch percentage of N. californicus eggs was unaffected by exposure to these seven acaricides. Etoxazole did not significantly affect the survival and reproduction of adult female predators but caused very low eclosion in eggs laid by treated females and high egg mortality. Pyraclofos was extremely toxic to adult female predators and caused 100% mortality. Adult female predators survived on a diet of spider mites treated with cyenopyrafen. spirodiclofen, spiromesifen, acequinocyl, bifenazate, flufenoxuron and cyflumetofen and their fecundity was not substantially affected. Based on the results, cyenopyrafen. spirodiclofen, spiromesifen, acequinocyl, bifenazate, flufenoxuron and cyflumetofen are appeared to be promising candidates for use in integrated mite management program where N. californicus is the major natural enemy.

국립수목원은 열대유용식물의 BT산업 원천소재 확보 제공을 목적으로 열대자원연구센터를 건립하여, 열대 및 아열대 전시원을 관리하고 있다. 온실의 특성상 일반 재배환경과는 다르게 여러 종류의 식물의 혼합 식재되어 있는 특성이 있어서 농업환경과 달리 해충의 급격한 돌발에 의한 온실 전체적인 피해의 위험성이 적은 반면에 안정된 환경으로 인해서 해충의 취약한 몇몇 수목의 경우 해충이 급격히 늘어날 수 있다. 본 실험은 여러 종류의 식물이 혼재되어 있는 수목 온실 내에서 생물적 방제를 이용하여 주요 해충류인 진딧물류 및 가루 깍지벌레, 잎응애류 방제 가능성을 타진하고자 진행되었다. 진딧물이 집중적으로 발견된 열대식물 5종(Acalypha hispida, Justicia gendarussa, Hamelia patens, Ficus petersii, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)을 중심으로 천적 방사 및 Banker plant 설치를 진행했다. 최초 조사일인 2015년 3월 10일, Tropical 1에 진딧물류의 발생이 많이 확인되어 포식성 천적인 미끌애꽃노린재를 투입했다. Tropical 2는 2015년 3월 17일 기생성 천적인 콜레마니진디벌과 선발된 Banker plant를 적용하여 방제 되었다. 철모깍지벌레가 발견된 열대식물 3종(Sanchezia parvibracteata, Brillantaisia lamium, Pseuderanthemum atropurpureum)을 중심으로 적용 천적으로 어리줄풀잠자리, 애홍점박이 무당벌레와 깍지무당벌레를 선별했다. 천적을 대상으로 철모깍지벌레에 대한 포식능력을 조사했으며 애홍점박이 무당벌레가 어리줄풀잠자리 보다 2.8배, 깍지무당벌레보다 2.9배 포식능력이 뛰어남을 확인했다. 잎응애류가 발견된 열대식물 2종(Acalypha wilkesiana, Erythrina caffra)은 천적으로 사막이리응애와 칠레이리응애를 적용하였다. 괭이밥응애 성충과 알의 포식력을 검증한 결과 사막이리응애가 괭이밥응애를 먹이로 증식이 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 괭이밥, 괭이밥응애, 사막이리응애를 효과적으로 조합한 응애류 방제를 위한 새로운 Banker plant의 개발 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구는 열대온실의 열대식물 관리에 대한 생물학적 방제의 지속적인 모니터링을 통해 종합적 방제의 관리 자료로 이용되어 새로이 온실을 조성하는 경우 식재기반조성에 실질적인 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 추후 열대식물의 자원 식물로서의 활용성을 높일 수 있다.

To protect plants from damage caused by Panonychus citri (McGregor), practical methods for the use banker plants have been developed to provide a habitat and augment natural enemies of several agricultural pests. The average population density of predatory mites on an Oxalis corniculata (creeping sorrel) sod culture was significantly higher (three times) than that on normal sod culture. Furthemore, the average population density of spider mites on creeping sorrel sod culture was significantly lower (3.7 times) than when weed control was practiced. Average consumption of the eggs and females of Tetranychina harti (Ewing) by Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) females was approximately 1.96 eggs and 1.93 females per day, respectively. Phytoseiulus persimilis AthiasHenriot females never consumed T. harti. However, total development time of T. harti from egg to adult on O. corniculata was 17.4 days, and hatchability and survival rate were 77.5% and 84.8%, respectively.
