In order to investigating the effects of antifungal activity of intestinal bacteria obtained from insect, it was identified these bacteria isolated from the gut. In this result, total 49 isolates of intestinal bacteria were identified from 10 kinds of insect species. It was that 4 isolates including Cedecea sp. from Nesidiocoris tenuis, 3 isolates including Enterobacter sp. from Odontotaenius disjunctus, 4 isolates including Acinetobacter sp. from Reticulitermes speratus, 4 isolates including Clavibacter sp. from Riptortus clavatus, 11 isolates including Bacillus sp. from Lema decempunctata, 3 isolates including Enterococcus sp. from Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata 2 isolates including Staphylococccus sp. from Harmonia axyridis, 5 isolates including Enterobacter asburiae from Popillia mutans, 7 isolates including Aeromonas sp. from Hydrophilus acuminatus, and 7 isolates including Brucella sp. from Anomala octiescostata. In order to investigating antifungal activity against plant-pathogenic fungi, Altanaria solani, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora capsici, Rhizoctonia solani and Selerotinia sclerotiorum were dual cultured with each 49 gut enterobacteriaceae. As these results showed that many isolates have the antifungal activities including 26 isolates against A. solani, 6 isolates against B. cinerea, 13 isolates against C. gloeosporioides, 11 isolates against F. oxysporum, 17 isolates P. capsici, 2 isolates against R. solani and 2 isolates against S. sclerotiorum. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was showed strong antifungal activity against all of tested plant pathogens. It might be taken a potential for application against plant-pathogenic fungi with useful control agent.

Between 2010 and 2012, diseases and insect pests of sweet persimmon were surveyed at sweet persimmon export complexes and non-export orchards in Suncheon, Jeonnam Province; Jinju, Changwon (Dongeup and Bukmyeon), and Gimhae, Gyeongnam Province; and Ulzu, Ulsan. The following diseases were found in the sweet persimmon orchards: angular leaf spot (Cercospora kaki), anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Colletotrichum acutatum), circular leaf spot (Mycosphaerella nawae), powdery mildew (Phyllactinia kakicola), and gray mold (Botrytis cinerea). Circular leaf spot was the most frequent and serious disease, and C. gloeosporioides and C. acutatum were found on fruits. Thirty-three insect pest species that belonged to 32 genera of 20 families in 5 orders were found in the sweet persimmon orchards; the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, was also found in the surveyed orchards. Apolygus spinolae, Pseudaulacaspis cockerelli, and Adoxophyes orana were widely found in the surveyed orchards; Spodoptera litura and Homona magnanima were also recorded. Damage by insect pests was low, and the quarantine insect pests peach pyralid moth (Dichocrocis punctiferalis) and persimmon fruit moth (Stathmopoda masinissa) were rarely or not found in the sweet persimmon export complexes. In addition, other quarantine insect pests, such as persimmon false spider mite (Tenuipalpus zhizhilashviliae) and Japanese mealybug (Planococcus kraunhiae), were not detected. These quarantine insect pests were also not found in the sorting places, storage houses, and fruits for export; however, scale insects and two-spotted spider mites were found at a low rate. Although anthracnose (C. acutatum) infested fruit was found in the storage houses, only one in Jinju and Gimhae.
