Screenhouse experiments were conducted to find out the varietal difference in ovipositional preference of the striped rice borer moths (Chilo suppressalis W.) on eight varieties of rice and its association with several plant morphological characters. The results indicated the strong preference of the moths for ovipositing on several varieties. The varieties Tongil (Suweon 213-1), Yushin, Jinheung and TKM-6 had comparatively more egg masses and more eggs than the varieties IR-26, IR-747, Rexoro and Juckna. The strong ovipositional preference of moths of Tongil, as compared to the resistant variety TKM-6 and the susceptible variety Rexoro, was. always consistent in this study whenever the number of tillers were uniformed and each two varieties were paired. It could be concluded that the moths definitely preferred Tongil among the test varieties. There was not any significant correlations between the ovipositional preference and the plant characters; such as number of tillers per plant, plant height, external diameter of stem, and size of leaf. The cause of strong perference of the moths for ovipositing on short type varieties Tongil and Yushin were still suspectable.

Oviposition preference of the bean bug, Riptortus clavatus to sites on a plant and within a field, to plants at different developmental stages, and to different leguminous germplasms was observed. The insect layed its eggs mainly on the back surface of leaf in the upper half of plant in both observation from oviposition cage and soybean field. The egg number in fields were observed at a statistically-same rate in marginal and inside area, and at a median value of one egg per leaf in oviposited leaves. Full seed stage of soybean hardly affected oviposition preference of the insect. A statistically-significant difference in oviposition to different leguminous germplasms was observed.

The major volatiles from Allium species were found to be sulfide compounds and the ratio of sulfide to volatiles was 66.1% in garlic, 66.1% in scallion, 62.3% in green onion, 39.2% in onion, and 4.2% in chive. Trace of cyclooctasulfur was found to be present among the volatiles. The most oviposition of 17.2% occurred at diallyl sulfide and the least of 0.8% at acetylthiophene whereas the most oviposition of 43.3% occurred at ethyl alcohol if concentration was 100%. Among the organic solvents used for dilution, ethyl alcohol received the highest 52.5% of oviposition and ether the lowest of 5.9%. Furfuryl mercaptan which is also one of the volatiles, received 46.9% of oviposition. For oviposition site, D. antiqua preferred sulfides at near 1%, ethyl alcohol at high, and other volatiles at various concentrations. At 100% concentration, most volatiles except dimethyl disulfide and ethyl alcohol received less oviposition than the control which was watered sand with no volatiles added.

To establish the successive rearing of red-striped golden stink bug, Poecilocoris lewisi Distant, developmental characteristics, host plant and oviposition preference were investigated. Raw peanuts were supplied to the insect as a substitute food at 25$\pm$$1^{\circ}C$, 60$\pm$5% R.H. and under 16Lㆍ8D photo regimen. Total developmental period was 48 days: 8.2$\pm$0.4, 5.4$\pm$0.2, 8. $\pm$0.5, 6.4$\pm$0.4, 7.4$\pm$0.3 and 12.6$\pm$0.8 days for egg, first though fifth instar, respectively. The instar survival rate was 57.1% and the sex ratio was estimated to be 53 : 47 (male : female). Adult longevity was on the average 30.8 in male and 35.4 days in female, respectively. Egg of P. lewisi was globular ($\phi$1.8-1.9mm) with milky white in color The number of eggs oviposited per clutch was mostly 14. Pre-oviposition period was 25.8 days and mean frequencies of oviposition were 4.4. Female preferred to oviposit on the host plant when available, but oviposited on the artificial leaf successively when the host is not around. On the other hand P. lewisi preferred to suck the nectar of stem or fruit of Phellodendron amurense Ruprecht, Zanthoxylum schinifolium Siebold et zuccarini, Cornus officinalis Siebold et zuccarini and Cornus controversa Hemsley among the 18 plant species tested.

The ovipositional preferences of Holotrichia morosa were investigated to defermine several environmental factors related to its incidence in ginseng fields. H. moroia paid no eggs in naked soil without ground color plants, and shouted ovipositional preference among weed plants in the order to Aurmisin prinrcps var oripntnlis, Epigrren canadensis Diuitarin sanguinalis, and Porttulaca oleracea. More oviposition was observed in the denser vegetation of D. sanguinalis and in soft soil. The egg-laying females were seldom attracted to fresh rice straw mulched on soil surface or decayred rite straw mixed into soil. The number of eggs laid by a female decreased considerably when the soil moisture content was below 5% or above 35%.

Cabbage butterfly, Pieris rapae was reared in a room to establish a year-round rearing system. The eggs oviposited by the parent fed on host plant showed 89.2% of hatchability and hatched in 3.9 days after oviposition. The larval period was 18.1 days under high temperature, long day condition ($25^{\circ}C$, 16L : 8D), showing 97.8% pupal ratio and emergence rate. However, under low temperature, short day condition ($21^{\circ}C$, 10L : 14D) the larval period extended to 23.6 days and the pupal ratio was 70%. All of those pupae went into diapause. The oviposition preference experiment on different hosts (Chinese cabbage, cabbage, tulip and kale) showed that hot-water extract was preferred over methanol extracts or squeezed raw juices. The host preference showed that Chinese cabbage was less preferred than the other three. The artificial ovipositing kit was constructed for the oviposition in a room. The 48-hours old eggs could be stored for 7 days at$ 5^{\circ}C$ and showed 70% of hatchability. Non-diapausing pupae could be stored for 30 days at 5 to $15^{\circ}C$, showing 85% of emergence rate. However, the pupae stored at $5^{\circ}C$ showed longer storage period and higher emergence rate. The systematic successive rearing method of cabbage butterfly in a room was completed, based on the above experiments.

Laboratory experiments were conducted to clarity the early-spline host·selectivity by the small brown planthopper(SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus Fallen, and green rice Leafhopper(GLH), Nephotettix cincticeps Uhle., on the bailey (the variety Suweon #18) and water foxtail (Alopeculus aequadis Sosbol). The host selectivity was evaluated on the bases of feeding and ovipositional perferences of the insects on the plants and their biological effects on the plants. The nymphs of SBPH much more preferred barley for feeding than water forxtail, while the nymphs of GLH relatively prefered water foxtail. There was no significant difference in ovipositional preference by SBPH among the test plants, and ovipositional preference by GLH Ivas significantly lower on barley and water foxtail than on rice. Nymphal growth an4 adult emergence of SBPH were significantly faster and higher on barley than on water foxtail. No adult emergence of GLH was observed on barley, and adult emergence was still quite lower even on water foxtail. The adult of SBPH fed on barley showed longer longevity aad higher fecundity than that of SBPH from water foxtail and rice. The adult GLH fed ell water foxtail shorted relatively shorter longevity and to)ver fecundity than that of GLH on rice. In conculsion, barley seems to be more adequate for spring host of SBPH than water foxtail, but barley may not be quite adequate for spring host of GLH. At presont moment, GLH seems rather to primarily select the water foxtail than barley as a spring host, even if the water foxtail is not so adequate for development of GLH.

This study has been carried out to investigate the varietal resistance of Tong-il rice variety (IR-667) at the seedling stage to the brown planthopper. Nilaparvata lugens STAL, and further to know the biological effects of the varieties to the insects. The results obtained were as followings; 1. Tong-il variety tested in this experiment was susceptible to the brown planthopper but it seemed to be a little more tolerable than the Japonica varieties which had been recommended in Korea. 2. Tong-il variety (Suwon 213, Suwon 213-1, Suwon 214, and Suwon 215) was highly prefered by brown planthopper for feeding to the Korean recommended varieties Paltal, Jinheung, Akibare, and Shin #2. 3, The resistant varieties Mudgo, Kayama MGL-2, and Karsamba ASD-7 which showed low feeding preference exhibited higher ovipositional preference than the susceptible varieties. Relatively greater number of eggs was recorded on the Tong-il variety (Suwon 213, Suwon 213-1, and Suwon 215) in comparison with the Korean recommended varieties, 4, When the female brown planthopper adults were caged on Tong-il variety (Suwon 214) and the resistant variety Karsamba ASD-7 separately, greater number of eggs were observed on Suwon 214 and less on Karsamba ASD-7, while when two varieties Suwon 214 and Karsamba ASD-7 were given together in the same cage, Karsamba ASD-7 was much more prefered for oviposition to Suwon 214. 5. There was no difference in e99 Periods and their hatchal\bility between the resistant and susceptible varieties, but nymphal periods, rate of adult emergence, longevity of the adult, and its fecundity were significantly different according to the varieties.

Experiment was conducted to select the rice varieties and lines resistant to the smaller brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus Fallen, and study the cause of varietal resistance to the insect. The nature of varietal resistance was evaluated from the viewpoints of feeding and ovipositional preferences and antibiosis. Among the IRRI sources the varieties H 105, Muthumanikam, Vellailangalayan, Karsamba Red ASD-7. Manavari Co 22, Mudgo, PTB-18, IR 8 and IR 20 were selected as resistant sources. Among the domestic sources. only Suweon 213-1, Suweon 214 and Suweon 215 originated from the IR667 lines were resistant, and other leading varieties ail susceptible. The cause of resistance of rice to the insect seemed to be highly related with the non-feeding preference, not non-ovipositional preference. Nymphal mortality and rate of adult emergence were significantly different from the resistant and susceptible varieties. The rate of adult emergence was significantly lower in the resistant than In the susceptible varieties. The primary cause of lower adult emergence seemed to be due to the fact that the infects were suffered higher nymphal mortality in the resistant than in the susceptible varieties.

Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the resistance of the new rice varieties Milyang $\#$21 and $\#$23 at the seedling stage to the brown planthopper(Nilaparvata lugens), small brown planthopper(Laodelphax striatellus), white-back planthopper(Sogatella furcifera), green rorice leafhopper(Nephotettix cincticeps) and zigzag-striped leafhopper (Recilia dorsalis) The varieties Yushin and T(N)-1 were used as susceptible check and the resistant check varieties were Mudgo to brown planthopper, ASD-7 :o small brown planthopper, Colombo to white-back planthopper, IR2061 (46763) to green rice leafhopper and Vellailanalgayan to zigzag-striped leafhopper. The varieties Milyang $\#$21 and $\#$23 were moderate in plant reaction only to the green rice leafhopper and $\#$23 was moderately resistant in plant rection only to the small brown planthopper. The nymphs of plant-and leaf-hoppers were more prefered Milyang $\#$21 and $\#$23 and susceptible check-varieties were more preferred for feeding than the resistant check-varieties. The green rice leafhopper and aigzag·striped leafhopper much more prefered Milyang $\#$21 and $\#$23 for oviposition, while brown planthopper and small brown planthopper more prefered the resistant cheeks than test varieties and susceptible checks. However, there was no any steady relationship in ovipositional preference between resistant and susceptible to the hoppers. Shorter nymphal-periods and higher rate of adult emergence were observed in the test varieties and the susceptible checks compared with the resistant checks. In conclusion, the varieties Milyang $\#$21 and $\#$23 seemed to be lack of true resistance to the plant-and leaf-hoppers from the viewpoints of antibiosis and feeding preference.
