This study was conducted to development of rapid propagation method by leaf cuttings in Hibiscus hamabo native to southern seaside of Korea, and special object of this study was to determine the effects of IAA, IBA, and NAA on rooting in leaf cuttings of H. hamabo. Rooting was promoted by dipping treated with IAA and IBA. And rooting percentage was greatest at 1,000 and 2,000$mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IBA. At higher concentrations of IAA and IBA, more adventitious roots were developed. Also, IAA at high concentrations (above 2,000$mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) and IBA ranged from 500~2,000$mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ promoted on root number and rootingratio. However, root formation in Hibiscus leaf cuttings inhibited by NAA application.

Paratlanticus ussuriensis oviposited from early July to mid-September under laboratory condition. A female laid on average 145 eggs during the period of reproduction and over 54% of the eggs were laid within 2 weeks after the first laying. The average depth of egg-laying in soil was 19.4 mm under surface. The average major axis of an egg was 5.7 mm and the minor axis was 2.0 mm. Just before hatching, the egg swelled about twice the weight of a newly laid. In tests of ovipositional preference in different types of media, more eggs were laid in soil than in vermiculite or in $Oasis^{(R)}$ floral form. Females also prefer shaded places in the field for reproduction, away from sunshine. In terms of the strategy for egg survival, adult moves to the hill-side adjacent to orchard farm to find a proper place for their egg laying and its survival in winter.
