Studies were conducted to control Spodoptera exigua in Allium fistulosum field using synthetic sex pheromone trap. Heavily, medium and lightly damagd fields at early transplanting time showed no differences in control effects after 8 weeks of establishment of pheromone traps in Allium fistulosum fields. Number of damaged leaves in each treated field was 0.2-3 individuals per 60 hills comparing with 33.2 individuals at non-treated field. Also, the numbers uf male adults attracted to pheromone traps were 1.8-5.0 individuals at the big inning of installation but increased to 25.8, 49.9, 74.9, and 77.4 individuals after 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, respectively. There was a negative correlation between amount of male adults attracted to pheromone traps and number of damaged leaves (r=-0.9572*). Number of adults attracted to various colored light trap for 30 days were 6 in red, 11 in white and none in blue comparing with 1,041 individuals in pheromone trap.

The damage by the black-tipped sawfly, Acantholyda posticalis posticalis Matsumura, has been increasing at several locations in central part of the Korean peninsula. This study was undertaken at selected plots in Kapyung-gun, Kyunggi Province and Hongchon-gun, Kangwon Province from 1984 to 1987. The purpose of this study was to provide basic information for integrated control of this pest and to determine the economic threshold by investigating the pest host interactions with special reference to damage analysis. The results obtained were as follows ; 1. The damage was more severe at upper part than at lower part of the crown. The vertical distribution of dry weight of damaged trees above ground showed L-type distribution, whereas that of healthy trees showed C-type distribution. 2. The needle loss by sawfly reduced both of height and the diameter growth of the main stem. The growth reduction occurs when the needle loss is 50% or higher. About 10% of tree growth was reduced at 50% of needle loss. 3. The reduction of diameter growth was more severe at upper part than at lower part of the main stem. 4. Volume growth was reduced when more than 50% of the needles were damaged after three years of the sawfly infestation. Reductions of total volume increment at the levels 70% and 90% of needle damage were 9% and 20%, respectively.

This study was performed to investigate the growth and photosynthetic rate of ten-years old Pinus koraiensis and Pinus rigida in Banwol industrial region comparing with those of the control site in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province. Surface soil of the damaged site in pH 4.2 was more acidic than control site in pH 4.8, assuming the accelerated soil deterioration by acid deposition. The shoot growth, needle survival rate and net photosynthetic rate of P. koraiensis and P. rigida at the damaged site were lower than at the control site. In addition, the quantum yield and chlorophyll a+b and b contents reduced in damaged treatment. These results suggest that an inhibition of photochemical reaction of P. koraiensis and P. rigida at the damaged site of Banwol industrial region could be attributed to combined influence of atmospheric pollution and soil acidification.

Studies were carried out to examine the effects of simulated acid rain on the various crops of rice, peper, tomato, pumpkin, egg plant, potato, soybean, radish, cucumber, common pea, sweet potato, corn, lettuce, chinse cabbage, spinach, under the condition of the rains of pH 3.0. The rain was adjusted to pH 4.0, 3.0, 2.0 with sulfuric acid, and soybeans were exposed with the various pH levels, eighteen times every other days. The symptoms of damage, ratios of destroyed leaf and sulphur content by leaves were investigated. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The exposure to the rain resulted in the reddish brown or white pigment spots in the leaves surface and the colour was developed red and darker along the edge of spots. 2. Most crops were affected with acid rain of pH 3.0 at which the amount of chlorophyl was decreased. 3. The spinach, chinese cabbage, lettuce were sensitive to the acid rain, however, the peper, tomato pumpkin were resistance to it. 4. The content of chlorophyl was decreased with increasing leave injury. 5. The sulphur content in leave was increased with increasing acidity of the rain, however the yield was decreased.

Recently, the damage by fresh flood increases in Gangwon-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do of the north-eastern area of Korea. Even though the recent pattern of rain fall keeps changing, there is no strategy to mitigate damage by disaster. For the appropriate measure and policy for decreasing damage, an index for vulnerability is necessary to provide evidence of local climate change. The present work analyzes the flooding damage cost during the past 20 years. During 80's, the southern area of Korea was seriously damaged by over-floods on the agricultural ground. After that time, the loss and damage has decreased in the southern area but the middle part has shown slight but distinct increases of damage. The absolute coast of damage in the northern part has kept constant. However, the relative regional damage to the total country damage has kept increasing over 20 years in the same area. The surface area of floods is strongly correlated with the regional damage cost in the southern part but the north-eastern part has weak correlation between flooded area and cost. It implies that the recent damage in the north-eastern mountain area was not caused by flood itself but the other factors such as avalanches. The present work expects that the damage cost can be a good proxy value for index for climate change impact assessment.

최근 자연재난으로 인한 인명피해는 감소하는 추세를 나타내고 있으나, 기후변화 및 도시화 등으로 인해 재산피해는 점차 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 기존의 연구는 재난이 일어난 후 사후복구차원에서 피해액을 집계하거나 복구비를 추정하는 연구가 주를 이루고 있으며, 재난이 발생하기 전에 피해액을 추정하는 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 과거 통계자료를 기반으로 인공신경망과 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 전체 자연재난 피해액의 약 95%를 차지하는 호우피해액을 예측하기 위한 피해함수 개발하고자 한다. 대상지역으로는 경기도 지역으로 선정하였고, 1994년부터 2015년까지의 수문기상자료와 시군구별 재해통계자료를 수집하여 분석을 위한 함수개발을 위한 자료로 재구축하였다. 또한 시간별 최대 강우량과 피해액에 대한 상관분석을 실시하여 지속시간별(1~24시간) 최대강우 자료와 재해기간별 선행강우(1~5일)자료, 그리고 재해기간의 총강우량 자료가 상관성이 높다는 것을 파악했다. 이를 독립변수로 활용하고, 재해기간별 피해액을 종속변수로 사용하여 지역별 호우피해 예측함수를 개발하였다. 본 연구는 효율적이고, 효과적으로 재해예방을 위한 방재체계를 수립하는데 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 판단되며, 사전대비 차원의 재난관리를 통해 정책결정권자들의 의사결정에도 도움을 줄 수 있다고 판단된다.

식품과 사료에서 곰팡이독소 오염은 세계적으로 중요한 문제이다. 곰팡이독소는 곰팡이의 이차대사산물로서 인축중독증을 야기하며 경제적인 손실을 초래한다. Aflatoxin, ergot alkaloid, fumonisin, ochratoxin, tremorgenic toxin, trichothecene 및 zearalenone 등이 식품과 사료에서 흘러 발생하는 곰팡이독소이다. 어떤 곰팡이는 하나 이상의 곰팡이독소를 생산하고, 또 어떤 곰팡이독소는 여러 종의 곰팡이에서 생성되기 때문에 여러 곰팡이독소가 함께 발견된다. 곰팡이독소의 발생에 영향을 끼치는 요인으로는 인위적으로 조절할 수 있는 보관과 환경적 조건도 포함된다. 기후와 같은 비본질적인 요인, 진균류의 계통 특이성 및 계통 변이와 같은 본질적인 요인 및 독소발생의 불안정성은 조절하기 어렵다. 곰팡이독소는 한 종의 동물에 있어서의 감수성과 종에 의존하며 인간에게 갖가지의 만성적 또는 급성적인 영향을 미친다. 그러나 반추동물은 곰팡이독소에 저항력을 가지고 있으며, 이는 반추동물의 위에 존재하는 미생물들이 곰팡이독소의 활성을 억제할 수 있기 때문이다. 곰팡이독소 피해의 경제적인 파급효과는 인축의 수명 단축, 축산물 생산감소, 오염된 식량과 사료의 처리 및 곰팡이독소의 문제점 해결을 위한 연구비용 등을 포함한다. 곰팡이독소 피해감소를 위한 국제적인 노력이 계속 진행되고 있지만 최근에 World Trade Organization이 발효되면서 동 식물이 지역간 자유로운 이동으로 곰팡이독소 피해 경감대책뿐만 아니라 피해측정이 어려워지고 있다.

This study aims to analyze the effect of typhoons on pear production. Pears are typical fruits that are vulnerable to typhoon damages, so typhoons are negatively associated with pear productivity. However, relatively less pear damages by typhoons in the main pear production area, comparing to the average in Korea, have been reported. The main production area seems to adopt better agricultural techniques or practices to cope with natural disasters such as typhoons. Thus, this study tests the hypothesis that there are differences of production losses due to typhoons between the main pear production area and the rest using the stochastic frontier analysis. The main production area is defined by Location Quotient Index (LQI), and we found that LQI had a significant effect to decrease the productivity losses in the main production areas, which shows that those production areas alleviated the pear production loss due to typhoons.

지난달 kg당 2,200원이라는 유례없는 육계가격이 형성되었다. 지난해 발생했던 고병원성조류인플루엔자에 따른 생산감소와 수입 감소 등이 원인으로 작용했지만, 근본적으로 환절기를 맞이하여 전국적으로 질병이 만연하면서 생산성이 크게 낮아진데 원인을 찾을 수 있다. 정부에서 강한 의지를 갖고 추진해오고 있는 뉴캣슬병(ND) 박멸 정책이 무색할 정도로 피해가 크고 저병원성 조류인플루엔자도 심각해 농가들의 방역 대책이 시급한 것으로 알려지고 있다. 특히, 병아리 품귀현상이 종계의 생산성 악화와 맞물리면서 병아리 품질 문제도 심각하게 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 본고는 유난히 추웠던 지난 겨울과 병아리 품질 저하 등의 악조건 속에서도 질병피해를 최소화하고 생산성 향상을 기하면서 육계업의 경쟁력을 키워가고 있는 농가를 찾아 그 비법을 들어보았다.

Ginseng damage by the African mole cricket (GTyllotalpa africana Palisot de Beauvois) was investigated in the field and laboratory from 1984 to 1991. Ginseng damage by G. africana occurred mainly in the 2nd year ginseng fields during May and June (spring period), and the damage was not nearly recognized in September and October (fall period) when densities of G. africana adults were higher in the field. In the laboratory and field cage, damage of 2nd year ginseng considerably decreased during fall period, which had no relation to ginseng diameter, and 3rd year ginseng was not damaged at all. Soil hardness seemed to influence on ginseng damage by G. africana adults.
