An investigation was conducted to determine the characteristics of seasonal occurrences and effective insecticides for minimizing the occurrence of Pseudaulacaspis cockerelli in sweet persimmon orchards. Most of the nymphs or female scales that mated in mid-September overwintered on twigs, matured to lay eggs in the next spring in accordance with temperature increase, and survived till mid to late May to lay all of their eggs. Males mostly died after mating by the end of September, while the males on the fallen leaves died during the hibernating period. Egg laying in P. cockerelli showed differences in accordance with the weather conditions in each year. They laid eggs from mid-April to mid- or late May, with a peak in early or mid-May. A female was estimated to lay 160 eggs; eggs hatched a week later from the peak period of egg laying. In summer, egg laying started in early or mid-July and ended in mid- or late August, with a peak in late July or early August; a female laid approximately 130 eggs in summer. The estimated egg period was 4 days. The first generation nymph that hatched from the eggs laid by the overwintered female on twigs showed 10% occurrence on twigs and 90% on leaves. The first generation nymphs on twigs mostly developed into female scales. The occurrence of the second generation nymphs reached a peak on July 27, 2009; they lived on the twigs as their overwintering site from mid- or late August. The female and male scales on leaves developed at the similar rate as the first generation nymphs up to August. The occurrence of male scales indicated that the peak occurrence of nymphs was on August 12, 2009, male scales on August 27, and adults approximately on September 14, which showed steady relationship in the sequence of development from nymphs to adult males. Among the nymphs that occurred on the leaves on August 12, 75% of them emerged into male adults, mated, and died. Buprofezine+dinotefurn (20+15) WP treatment on June 9 and 16 resulted in 90.6% control of P. cockerelli, when mortality was checked 7 weeks after treatment.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences of soft tissue profile changes between the growing patients and the adult who had passed the growth peak, in orthodontic treatment with four premolar extractions. The results which was taken by correlating the soft tissue changes with hard tissue changes, lip thickness, molar relationship and arch length discrepancy in both groups was like the followings. 1. Significant hard tissue changes were decrease of VIs, VIi, UlPP, LlMP, HIi and increase of HPog'in adults and decrease of VIs, VIi and increase of VA, VPog'and all the vertical measurements in adolescents. 2. Significant soft tissue changes were decrease of VLs, VLi, and VILS in adults and increase of VSn, VSLS, VLs, VPog' and almost all vertical measurements in adolescents, and ${\Delta}LsE,\;{\Denta}LiE$ in adults and ${\Delta}LsE,\;{\Denta}LiE,\;{\Delta}LiSP\;and\;{\Delta}Mang$ was also significant 3. Correlation coefficient between ${\Delta}VIs\;and\;{\Delta}VLs$ was the greatest in adults and the next was ${\Delta}Ii/{\Delta}Li,\;{\Delta}Ii/{\Delta}ILS,\;{\Delta}ID/{\Delta}Li\;and\;{\Delta}ID/{\Delta}ILS$. In contrast all the vertical and horizontal measurements of hard and soft tissue in adolescents showed statistically significant corerrlation. 4. There were differences in correlation between soft tissue changes and incisor inclination and retraction at both groups, but the lower lip, nasolabial angle and mentolabial angle were commonly less influenced by the hard tissue changes in both groups. 5. The thinner the upper lip was, the more the ${\Delta}LsSP$ was in both groups, and the thinner the lower lip was, the more the ${\Delta}LiE\;and\;{\Denta}LiSP$ was in adolescents. 6. Molar relationship didn't influence the soft tissue profile changes. 7. Arch length discrepancy didn't influence the soft tissue profile changes.

This experiment was conducted to determine the usability of biodegradable plastic in the mulching cultivation of sweetpotato. For this, we investigated the physical characteristics, biodegradability, leaching, yield, workability, etc. of biodegradable films. Compared with general mulching materials, biodegradable Poly butyleneadipate-co-butylene succinate (PBSA) and PLC+starch showed $2{\sim}27$% higher tensile strength, but $2{\sim}22$% lower elongation and $2{\sim}6$% lower tear strength. In the leaching test on the biodegradable films, heavy metals were detected very little or not at all. As to difference in ground temperature according to mulching material, the temperature was high in order of PLC+starch > PBSA > Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) > Control during the period from late June to mid July, but in order of LDPE > PLC+starch > PBSA > None during the period from late July to late September. In the mulching cultivation of sweet potato, biodegradable films PBSA (EA, EB, EC) and PLC+starch (DD, DE, DF) began to degrade after 60 days from the cut planting of sweet potato, and over 95% degraded after 120 days. The quantity of roots was 3,070 kg/10a for PBSA, 3,093 kg/10a for PLC-starch, and 2,946 kg/l10a for LDPE, showing no significant difference according to mulching material. Considering the physical characteristics, biodegradability, environment, convenience in harvesting work, yield, etc. of the films in the mulching cultivation of sweet potato, biodegradable films are expected to be very useful.

This study was conducted to evaluate pest control efficacy of environment-friendly agricultural materials (EFAMs) according to their spray time and frequency against alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica Gyllenhal, at Chinese milk vetch field in Miryang, Korea. Larva, pupa and adult of H. postica occurred more in year 2010 than those in 2011, and the larval population peaked 5 days faster in year 2010 than on $10^{th}$ May in 2011. Control efficacies of EFAMS sprayed on various time and in several frequencies to H. postica during April in 2010 were 73.6%, 71.9% and 66.2% at single spray in early, middle and late April, respectively and ranged from 77.1% to 78.9% when sprayed twice. With three times spray the control efficacy averaged 87.2%. Control efficacies of EFAMs with a single application in early, middle and late April in 2011 were 57.9%, 66.8% and 65.2%, respectively and ranged from 73.7% to 76.8% when sprayed twice. Control efficacy averaged with 82.7% when EFAMs were sprayed for three times. Accordingly, control efficacy of EFAMs against was increased with increasing spray frequency. Among the tested, Ungsamee(R), Wangjoongwangeco(R) and Muchungjidae(R) with a single application showed relatively higher control efficacy with a 4 to 16% lower control rate than a chemical insecticide, etofenprox 20EC. Therefore, Ungsamee(R), Wangjoongwangeco(R) and Muchungjidae(R) can be effectively used for management of H. postica when sprayed at early April for high occurring population and middle April for low occurring population with a single spray.

Two tephritid fruit flies are infesting pumpkins in Korea. Both are classified into genus of Zeugodacus. The striped fruit fly, Z. scutellata, males are attracted to a lure called Cuelure (CL), which has been used to monitor the occurrence of this fruit fly in the crop field. In contrast, no effective male lure was not developed to monitor the pumpkin fruit fly, Z. depressa. Protein diet lure has been used to attract females of most fruit flies. The addition of terpinyl acetate (TA) was effective to increase the attractiveness of Z. depressa. This study aimed to monitor the occurrence of Z. depressa in pumpkin field with TA-protein diet lure. To validate the efficiency of TA-protein diet lure, Z. scutellata was monitored in a year of 2019 using CL and TA-protein diet lures, and the yearly monitoring data were compared. The occurrence patterns derived from both lures were similar except late season after October. The extended catches of TA-protein diet lure might be explained by the adult diapause induction of Z. scutellata at late September. Monitoring Z. depressa with TA-protein diet lure gave two peaks at mid July and August-September, in which more than 80% catches were females. Based on the attractiveness of TA-protein diet lure, its wettable powder with an addition of spinosad insecticide was formulated and sprayed to pumpkin crops. After 7 days post-spray, the control efficacy recorded more than 70%. However, the control efficacies decreased as the time progressed after the spray. These results demonstrated the application of TA-protein diet lure for monitoring occurrence of Z. depressa in pumpkin-cultivating field conditions. The wettable powder containing spinosad can be applied to develop a new control agent against two pumpkin fruit flies.

In this study, the method to attach plastic film on the side vent from inside of greenhouse for the entire length was developed as the way to make crops less stressful while uniformly getting outside air into the greenhouse when ventilating using roof ventilation fans at single-span plastic greenhouse for oriental melon in a low-temperature period. The plastic film was installed from ground to 10cm below from the height where side vent is fully opened. In order to verify that the improved side vent can improve greenhouse environment and fruit yield, it was compared with the control plot of conventional side vent. Both greenhouses were not ventilated until February 25th, 2017. Air temperature in both greenhouses exceeded $40^{\circ}C$ in mid February. Therefore, it is judged that the greenhouse should be ventilated from mid February. Air temperature in the control plot exceeded $30^{\circ}C$ from late April. Therefore, it is judged that the plastic film attached to the inside of side vent should be removed in late April, or in early May at the latest. Soil temperature in the treatment plot in the mid Aril exceeded $20^{\circ}C$, which is suitable for growth, while that in the control plot was still below $20^{\circ}C$. Soil temperature in the control plot finally exceeded $20^{\circ}C$ in late April. The consumption of electricity was 47.2 kWh in the treatment plot, and 48.3 kWh in the control plot, which was no significant difference. The marketable yield of oriental melon in the treatment plot was 5,094kg, which was 23.9% more than that in the control plot, 4,113kg. The marketable fruit ratio was 73.5% in the treatment plot, and that in the control plot was 73.9%, which was no significant difference.

The key for cultivating Lentinula edodes in sawdust bags with an appropriate strain and medium is to encourage the mushroom growth, while discouraging contaminating fungi by controlling environment, especially temperature and relative humidity (RH). To investigate the daily and seasonal fluctuation of temperature and RH in two L. edodes cultivation sheds types, HOBO data loggers was set and the collected data were analyzed. In a Taiwan type L. edodes cultivation shed, temperature and humidity changes were divided into five characteristic periods: mycelium growing winter, mushroom fruiting spring, mushroom fruiting early summer, mushroom nonfruiting summer and mushroom fruiting autumn. First, the mycelium growing winter was December to early March with daily mean temperature of $-1{\sim}8^{\circ}C$. Second, mushroom fruiting spring was mid March to late May with daily mean temperature of $8{\sim}21^{\circ}C$ and day-night temperature difference of $15^{\circ}C$. Third, the Mushroom fruiting early summer was early June to early July with 17 to $25^{\circ}C$. Fourth, nonfruiting summer was mid July to mid August with daily mean temperature of $25{\sim}28^{\circ}C$. Lastly, mushroom fruiting autumn was late August to October with daily mean temperature of $10{\sim}23^{\circ}C$ and with cyclic temperature change by $7^{\circ}C$ decrease and 5 increase every 5 to 7 days. In a Chinese type shed, temperature ranged $-1.9{\sim}5.0^{\circ}C$ during winter and $15{\sim}32^{\circ}C$ during June to October. Temperature and relative humidity changed $12{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ and 40~100%, respectively, depending on 0~150 cm shelf heights of by positions in the shed. In conclusion, to grow L. edodes but to discourage contaminating fungi, that is, not to be too high in temperature and RH, the growers changed temperature and RH by adjusting shading, aeration and insulation in the shed.

This study was conducted to establish spring sowing techniques in preparation for the impacts of climate change on sowing time and wintering rates of winter forage crops such as barley, oat and IRG. Oat showed the highest yield in 2017 which had relatively dry climate condition. And when sowing in late Febrnary 2017 yielding 9,408kg/ha were obtained, yielding 4,011kg/ha more than IRG's sown in the same period. In 2018 which had relatively wet climate condition, four barley species decreased in the production from the previous year. Oat also had decreased by 70% from 9,408kg/ha to 2,851kg/ha. On the other hand, IRG maintained the production in the mid-5,000kg/ha range. It was also found that IRG had the least variability due to external influences regardless of seeding period for 2 years. Mixed sowing with IRG and oat in 50:50 ratio was the highest dry matter, 6,584kg/ha, and IRG was 18.5% and Oat was 2.3 times higher than single planting.
