This study was conducted to optimize formulation factors of a self-dispersible floating granule of flucetoaulfuron that can be used at a low application volume (5 kg $ha^{-1}$). SPA and xanthan gum were selected as a binder because blending of them showed good granulation and floatation. Potassium chloride selected as a filler also showed good granulation, floatation and disintegration properties. Among wetters and dispersants, Surfynol 440 gave the best dispersibility The optimum granule size was determined to be 1.0 mm considering floating time and dispersibility. Flucetosulfuron was mixed with the blend of SPA and xanthan gum, potassium chloride, and Surfynol 440 and formulated as a floating self-dispersible granule at 1.0 mm in diameter. Indoor and outdoor field experiments showed that the floating granule of flucetosulfuron performed well, covering long range from the application spot up to 15 m in weed control. Therefore, this floating technology may be used for laborsaving herbicide formulation development and help to reduce workloads for herbicide application.

Studies were conducted to investigate the effect of Carbofuran 3G on the density variation of rice pests and their natural enemies in case the insecticide was treated two times as compared with usual trials in paddy field. Even the two times application of Carbofuran 3G in the nursery boxes of machine transplanting and paddy water trials obtain same results to pests, small brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatllus), green rice leafhopper (Nephotettix cincticeps), brown planthorper (Nilaparvata lugens), white back planthopper (Sogotella furcifera), rice stem bore (Chilo suppressalis), rice stem maggot (Chlorops oryzae), rice thrips (cloethrips oryzae) as compared with usual trials. The density of natural enemies, spiders and egg parasite, Anagrus sp. of planthoppers in the two times application part of Carbofuran 3G increased 2.4 fold as compared with usual trials.

This study was attempted to find out the most effective period and dosage for IBP granules application to control rice blast, especially neck blast. The results obtained from the study are as follows; The most effective application period was about 15-20 days before heading. The most effective dosage was 4kg per 10a. The most effective control on rice blast was obtained when 4kg per 10a of IBP granules was applied about 15 to 20 days before heading. Therefore it should be emphasized that application period and dosage should be considered together, when applied by farmers. However, it may be necessary to apply chemicals at least one or two times before or after rice heading, since applications of IBP Ec. in July and IBP granules in August may not be enough to control rice blast completely.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate weed control effect of Butachlor, Oxadiazon, and Bifenox under three levels of water depth (0, 3, 6 cm). Number of E. crusgall. and M. vaginalis decreased as water depth increased while that of P. distinctus showed the opposite trend. Water depth did not influence number of E. kuroguwai and C. serotinus. Weed control effect of Butachlor and Oxadiazon was best at 3 cm water depth at while that of Bifenox was best at 6 cm water depth. Injury of Butachlor to rice decreased as water depth increased while that of Oxadiazon and Bifenox showed opposite trend.

The chemical and toxicological studies were conducted with acetamiprid 2% granules including different controlling agents for development of controlled-release acetamiprid 2% granule. The fundamental formulation recipe of acetamiprid 2% granule was prepared by the insoluble matrix using polyethylene wax. Starch, cellulose and mineral (calcium carbonate) were used as controlling agents. As a result of studies, release rate of active ingredient from granules into water static condition at $25^{\circ}C$ was increased by addition of starch and cellulose, but was decreased by addition of calcium carbonate. We could select calcium carbonate as controlling agent and make three granules which there were difference in release profiles of active ingredient according to contents of polyethylene wax. 24 hours-release rates of acetamiprid from three granules into water static condition at $25^{\circ}C$ were respectively 75, 50 and 25% when contents of wax were 2, 10 and 20%. The granule which 24 hours-release rate was 25% showed lower acute toxicity against mice and rats.

Dicamba (3,6-dichloro-o-anisic acid) granular formulations for controlled release (DGFCRs) were prepared with biodegradable polymers, corn starch and pregelatinized starch, to minimize harmful side effects, extend weed control performance, and control the releasing rate of the active ingredient. Physico-chemical properties and biological activity of DGFCRs were studied. Six different granules were formulated by applying two processes, granulation and extrusion. Formulation efficiencies of active ingredient (A.I.) in the granules prepared by granulating and extruding were $90.0{\sim}96.3%$. Incorporation ratios of A.I. in the granules prepared by granulating and extruding showed $89.5{\sim}94.5%$ and $46.7{\sim}82.0%$, respectively. The highest swellability was DG-2 formulation prepared with corn starch. Whereas, the lowest floatability in water was DG-2 formulation, while the highest one was DG-1 formulation prepared with pregelatinized starch, Miragel 463. The degradation rates of dicamba in the granules under the elevated temperature of $50^{\circ}C$ were less than 5% for DG-1 and DG-2 formulations even after 90 days, meanwhile, those of DE-1 formulations prepared with pregelatinized starch, Mirasperse, were more than 5%. The release rates of A.I. from the granules into water under a static condition were about 100% after 2 weeks. Weeding effects of the granules on broad leaf weeds tested in greenhouse were more than 90% after 30 days.

A toxicological study of the pesticides for rice paddy to loach was conducted with iprobenfos 17% GR, diazinon 3 % GR, and butachlor 5 % GR to establish the field test method and their toxicological effects on loach under the actual field conditions. The type C of cage was more effective in the sense of a little stress from the cage. The nets for shading and for preventing the birds were necessary to maintain the water temperature and to prevent the predators. The cumulative mortality of loach exposed to iprobenfos 17% GR, diazinon 3% GR and butachlor 5% GR were 10, 55 and 22%, respectively, during 7 days of exposure. The averaged concentration of the pesticides in paddy water 2 days after application were 1.67, 0.22 and 0.26 mg/L, and mortalities were 7, 50 and 17%, respectively, representing the similar results with acute toxicity $(48h-LC_{50})$.
