Electroantennography, wind tunnel observation, and field trapping experiments were carried out to investigate the biological activity of synthetic sex pheromone in the onental tobacco budworm. Heli-couerpa assulta. Two major sex pheromone components of H. assulta, Z9-16' Ald and Z11-16: Ald. elicited a big EAG response in male, but not in female Their mIXture ratios did not give much influence on EAG size Fema]e H assulta showed a great EAG response only to its host plant e extract. EAG size also increased with the amount of mixture from 001 to 10 [lg but rather decreased w when the amount was 1 00 $\mug$. H. assulta always revealed a series of stereotyped behavior in a wind tunnel. The behavioral response was different when the males were stimulated with the sex pheromone containing some minor components, 16: AId and Z9.16: Ac, or being different in mixing ratios of the two major components. The best ratio of the sex phemmone components for a attracting H assulta male adults was 20-25: 1 between Z9-16: Aid and Z11-16: Ald in net house a and red pepper field experiments in Korea When the lure contamed Z9-16: OH, attracting power rapidly decreased. The synthetic sex pheromone showed a strong attraction when compared to virgin females

The efficacy of different control techniques against the large black chafer, Holotrichia parallela Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), in organic pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) orchards was evaluated. In this study, field trials were conducted in three locations in Korea-Naju, Hampyeong, and Boseong-to evaluate different techniques to suppress these beetles. Pheromone traps, bio-insecticides (Hongmengye and Melchungdaejang), and a combination of the two were applied as treatments. In Naju, Hampyeong, and Boseong, the highest number of adult H. parallela were caught in the control plots (n=45, n=39, and n=20, respectively), while the fewest were caught in the pheromone plus bio-insecticide plot (n=19) in Naju and in the combined treatment plot in Hampyeong (n=10). In Naju, the greatest leaf damage was observed in the control (66%), and in all locations (Naju, Boseong, and Hampyeong), the least damage occurred in the combined treatment plots (42%, 36%, and 24%, respectively). Regarding the tree canopy, the greatest leaf damage was observed in the upper canopy, and less damage was observed in the lower canopy. These results demonstrate that the combination of sex pheromone traps and bio-insecticides can be used to manage H. parallela in organic pear orchards.

This study was designed to estimate effect of wood vinegar on meat quality in old Layer which was low production and low economic value. The old layer chickens were used to resource for income increase of layer farm and protein supply. Two hundred forty Isa Brown chickens were assigned with control(Broiler feed), Treatment 1 (Broiler feed with addition of domestic wood vinegar $0.8\%$) and Treatment 2(Broiler feed with addition of foreign wood vinegar $0.4\%$). Feed intake of control group was lower 3g than other treatments. This is the reason of result that what organic acid in wood vinegar of treatment groups affect to feed digestibility, The different of chicken production was depended on ingredient and included value of wood vinegar in domestic and foreign. Foreign wood vinegar have organic acids which that functionally act sexual Pheromone so that promote endocrine matter. This is reason that old Layer chicken increase to egg production rate. Treatment 2 group effect to thigh meat rather than breast meat and improve to value of crude fat and meat color. The Meat quality and sensory test of thigh meat of foreign wood vinegar was better appraise rather than that of domestic wood vinegar. Because foreign wood vinegar make to fine of meat tissue and to decline cooking loss and also to increase juiciness and tenderness on sensory test.
