Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum spp. has been known as a significant disease which commonly infects to the fruits of Chinese matrimony (Lycium chinese) in the field conditions. To select effective fungicides for the control of Chinese matrimony anthracnose, the antifungal activity of 15 fungicides were evaluated with 13 different strains of Colletotrichum spp. in the laboratory condition. Six fungicides (Dithianon WG, Tebuconazole SC, Tebuconazole WG, Trifloxystrobin + Tebuconazole SC, Azoxystrobin SC and Polyoxin D zinc salt + Carbendazim WP) out of them, showed effective suppression with the mycelium growth of pathogenic fungus, and were selected to test in vivo of the field condition. Five fungicides, Dithianon WG, Tebuconazole WG, Trifloxystrobin + Tebuconazole SC, Tebuconazole SC and Azoxystrobin SC, were significantly effective to protect anthracnose of Chinese matrimony, the variety "Chungyang Jerae".

Fungicidal screening was performed to control soybean black root rot caused by Calonectria ilicicola through in vitro and greenhouse assays. In in vitro assay, 25 fungicides were assessed by an agar dilution method and a 96-well microtiter plate method. While protective fungicides including dithianon, dichlofluanid, mancozeb, and captan showed a very low activity against the mycelial growth C. ilicicola SC03-15 in the agar dilution method, they displayed potent inhibitory activity against spore germination in a 96-well microtiter plate method with $EC_{50}$ values of 4.65, 0.61, 4.64, and $0.29{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$, respectively. Ergosterol biosynthesis-inhibiting (EBI) fungicides showed different antifungal activity against mycelial growth and spore germination according to molecules. Difenconazole displayed higher antifungal activity against spore germination rather than mycelial growth, and prochloraz inhibited potently both mycelial growth and spore germination with EC50 values less than $1.8{\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$. In contrast, the other EBI fungicides inhibited more highly mycelial growth than spore germination. Carbendazim+diethofencarb and dazomet also inhibited both mycelial growth and spore germination of C. ilicicola SC03-15 at very low concentrations. In greenhouse assay, carbendazim+diethofencarb effectively controlled a soybean black root rot by drenching 2 days before or after inoculation. In addition, tebuconazole showed potent curative activity against soybean black root rot.

Control efficacy was investigated with fungicides as 3 copper compound, 3 antibiotic fungicides and one fungicide containing to quinolone against the growth of Ralstonia solanacearum on NA medium and the disease occurrence on pepper seedlings. Among 7 fungicides, oxytetracycline was shown the highest activity against a growth of the pathogen in the agar diffusion method, but validamycin showed no activity against the pathogen. With $1000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ of each copper fungicide as copper hydroxide, copper oxychloride+ dithianone and copper sulfate, 2.2, 1.3 and 1.5 mm in size of clear zone only could be found, respectively. In pepper seedling test, oxytetracycline showed a perfect activity in all treatments 7 days after inoculation. However, its activity was decreased from $500{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ of treatment over the time. Copper fungicides showed the control efficacy lower than antibiotic fungicides except for validamycin. Based on the results, it was suggested that it would be better to use antibiotic fungicides than copper fungicides to control pepper bacterial wilt in the fields.

Damping-off of summer spinach caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG-4 has become a very important disease. For the control of summer spinach damping-off, antifungal activity of thirteen fungicides (pencycuron, trifloxystrobin, pyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin, kresoxim-methyl, validamycin, fluazinam, Benlate-T, flutolanil, cyazofamid, hexaconazole, tebuconazole, prochloraz) were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Pencycuron, pyraclostrobin, validamycin, fluazinam, Benlate-T, hexaconazole, tebuconazole, and flutolanil significantly suppressed the mycelial growth of the pathogenic fungus. However, trifloxystrobin, azoxystrobia kresoxim-methyl, cyazofamid, and prochloraz did not represent good inhibition on the growth of R. solani. When applied by soil drenching (2,000 mg/L), pencycuron, pyraclostrobin, validamycin, fluazinam, Benlate-T, and flutolanil provided spinach survival ratios of 97.8%, 84.4%, 93.3%, 95.6%, 91.1%, and 86.7%, respectively. Also when treated in seed at 2,000 ing/L, pencycuron and pyraclostrobin displayed survival ratios of more than 85.1%.

In August 2020, 377 anthracnose strains were isolated from anthracnose-infected peppers collected from 25 farms in Sunchang-gun, Jeollabuk-do. Inhibition rate of mycelial growth of 11 pepper anthracnose fungicides registered in Korea was investigated for 62 strains selected by region and the degree of susceptibility to each fungicide was investigated. As a result of the fungicide susceptibility test of anthracnose to the fungicide, no resistant strains were observed in fluazinam, prochloraz manganese, and benomyl, but resistant strains appeared in at least three areas for other fungicides, and all strains in all regions were resistant to dithianon. Through this, it was confirmed that the fungicide resistance was expressed in the strain group due to the continuous treatment of the fungicide in some areas. By region, resistant strains to seven pesticides appeared in Sunchang-eup and Paldeok-myeon, and resistant strains to six pesticides appeared in Geumgwa-myeon, Bokheung-myeon, Ssangchi-myeon, Yudeung-myeon, and Pungsan-myeon. There was no significant correlation between fungicide registration time and emergence of resistant strains.

Esterase activity was observed after pesticides treatment in eggs of H. axyridis to select low toxicity pesticide. Egg esterases of H. axyridis were examined using an esterase substrate(${\alpha}$-naphthyl acetate). Three esterase isozymes were detected and the activities were inhibited by organophosphorus insecticide (Chlorpyrifos and Phenthoate), organochlorine insecticide(Methidation), triazole fungicide(Hexaconazole and Triflumizole), and pyrimidine fungicide(Nuarlmol). Fecundity and hatchability in adults and eggs of H. axyridis were examined on selected pesticides. Fecundity and hatchability were significantly reduced from H. axyridis adults and eggs treated with the pesticides and the fungicides showed strong inhibition of esterase isozymes activities. However, we also observed the pesticides and the fungicides showed low or non-inhibition of esterase isozymes activities affected on fecundity and hatchability in adults and eggs.

In vivo antifungal activity of 44 fungicides consisting of 3 clubroot fungicides, 7 Oomycetes fungicides, 7 botriticides, 7 blasticides, 9 sterol biosynthesis inhibitors, and 11 broad spectrum fungicides were investigated against Plamodiophora brassicae, the causal agent of clubroot disease in Chinese cabbage. When fluazinam, flusulfamide and cyazofamid, commercial fungicide to control clubroot of Chinese cabbage in Korea, were applied to infested soil, club formations by P. brassicae were strongly inhibited at pot (35 $cm^2$) per 0.63 mg. Ethaboxam and cymoxanil, Oomycetes fungicides, completely controlled Chinese cabbage clubroot at 5 mg/pot, but cymoxanil represented sever phytotoxicity. Besides, dichlofluanid and procymidone of botriticides effectively controlled the development of Chinese cabbage clubroot at 2.5 mg/pot. Chlorothalonil, quintozene and trichlamide, broad spectrum fungicides, showed disease-control efficacy of 85%, 100% and 100% at 2.5 mg/pot, respectively. Most of sterol biosynthesis inhibitors displayed the strong antifungal activity against P. brassicae on cabbage seedlings and plant growth -retarding activity. From these results, 7 fungicides were selected and further tested in vivo antifungal activity against P. brassicae in glasshouse. Among them, ethaboxam showed the most antifungal activity against P. brassicae on cabbage seedlings, followed by fenarimol, procymidone, nuarimol and chlorothalonil.

Alternative spraying was developed using fungicides and potassium phosphonate to control watermelon powdery mildew (WPM) caused by Sphaerotheca fusca under greenhouse condition. In 2010 trial, a total of 9 combinations of 6 fungicides which are legally registered in Korea and currently used on watermelon farms were tested for the control efficacy against WPM. Though the combination of chlorothalonil (Chl)-myclobutanil (My)-fenarimol (Fen)-hexaconazole (Hex) was the most effective (82.6%) in the first-year trial, it had the problem that My, Fen and Hex have the same mode of action. Therefore, in the second-year trial to improve the fungicide combination and to reduce fungicide application, fungicides and potassium phosphonate (P) combinations were tested for WPM control using 500 ppm aqueous potassium phosphonate solution which is both eco-friendly and showing different mode of action from the fungicides tested. The P-My-Fen-Hex applied at 10-day intervals provided relatively high control (75.6%), whereas Chl-My-Fen-P provided 31.8% control. To improve the control, fungicides and P were applied at 7-day intervals in the third-year trial. Though Chl-My-Fen-Hex provided the highest control (89.6%), P-My-Fen-Hex also provided relatively high control (83.5%) compared to 65.9 % control with Chl-My-Fen-P, which suggests that Chl-My-Fen-Hex could be replaced with P-My-Fen-Hex for WPM control.
