The armyworm, Pseudaletia separata was occurred suddenly in a golf club in Namhae, Gyeongnam province in 2013. Thus, pathogenicity of seven species of entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernema carpocapsae GSN1 strain, S. glaseri Dongrae strain, S. longicaudum Nonsan strain, S. monticolum Jiri strain and S. siamkayai, Heterorhabditis sp. Gyeongsan strain, and H. bacteriophora Hamyang strain) was evaluated against armyworm on tall fescue in pot and golf course to control this pest environmentally friendly. The pathogenicity against P. separata larvae was significantly different depending on nematode species. The corrected mortality of fifth instar of P. separata was 100% in the treatment with S. carpocapsae GSN1 in 7 days in tall fescue pot. However, there was not different in the mortality of fifth instar of P. separata (80 to 100%) at the rate of 385 to 6,160 infective juveniles (Ijs) ($=2.5{\times}10^2$ to $4{\times}10^5Ijs/m^2$) of S. carpocapsae GSN1 strain in each pot. Corrected mortality of P. separata was 65 and 60% at the rate of $10^5Ijs/m^2$ of S. carpocapsae GSN1 and S. longicaudum Nonsan strain, respectively in the tall fescue of golf course.

Effect of fluctuating temperatures on the development of the immature beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (H bner), was analyzed. At constant rearing temperature regimes, the estimated developmental threshold temperatures were varied among stages and instars, but had an average 13$^{\circ}C$ from egg hatch to adult emergence. Based on the 13$^{\circ}C$ threshold temperature, we set up three different rearing temperature regimes having the same day-degrees. Two fluctuating temperature regimes changed significantly the developmenta1 period expected by the constant rearing temperature regime. Under the same thermophase temperature (25$^{\circ}C$), the thermocycling regime with the higher cryophase temperature (10$^{\circ}C$) decelerated the developmental rate probably by lowering temperature limit thor development, but that with the lower cryophase temperature (5$^{\circ}C$) gave a negative developmental effect.

Chemosterilant effect of chlorpyrifos-methyl (CPM) on the beet armyworm, Spodoptera e.rigua (Hubner) was investigated, using topical application. Egg fecundity and fertility were analyzed in the adults reared from the fifth instar larvae which were treated with sublethal doses of CPM. Though CPM reduced fecundity a little, it gave significant negative effect on egg fertility in a dose-dependent manner. Genetic analysis was performed by reciprocal crosses between treated (100 Wgllarva) and untreated individuals and showed a dominant lethal effect of CPM on egg fecundity and fertility. This results indicate that chlorpyrifos-methyl may act as a chemosterilant as well as a well-known neurotoxicant, and suggest that it can be used in genetic control program.

Larval densities and spatial distribution patterns of beet armyWorm, Spodoptera exigua, were studied in the welsh onion field located in Asan from June to November, 1991. During the period, there were two denslty-peaks;mid August and mid~late September. The larvae showed clumped distribution patterns. but the patterns changed into random as larval density decreased in Oct.ober. Each larval instar showed clumped pattern expect 6th instar surveyed on September 25, which distributed in a random pattern. The larval distribution pattern were also influenced by the host plants;clumped pattern on such host. as red pepper and welsh onion, versus random pattern on such hosts as chrysanthemum, peanut and soybean.

Several entomopathogenic fungi have been exploited to be developed into biological control agents in insect pest management. The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, is a serious insect pest infesting various crops, but not effectively controlled by commercial chemical pesticides due to its high insecticide resistance. A fungal isolate was isolated from S. exigua larvae collected from cabbage field in Andong, Korea. The fungus could be cultured in potato dextrose agar. Larvae of S. exigua injected with the cultured conidia showed a potent entomopathogenicity. To identify the fungus isolate, its internal transcribed space (ITS) and surrounding partial 18S/28S regions were sequenced. The ITS sequence was highly matched (99%) to that of Nomuraea rileyi. Morphological characters of its hyphae and conidia were well fit to those of known N. rileyi. This study reports the first record of an entomopathogenic fungus, N. rileyi, in Korea.

This study is conduced to investigate control efficacy of mixture of plant extracts which has been reported to control pest and Bacillus thuringiensis or alone. Control efficacy of 0.025% matrine or mixture of 0.016% matrine and BT ($5{\times}10^4cfu$) against $3^{rd}$ instar larvae of beet armyworm were best as 98.7% and 93.3%. Treatment of mixture of 0.01% matrine and BT ($5{\times}10^4cfu$) showed the mortality of 69.3%. In the case of neem, when the mixture of 0.1% neem and BT was applied to larvae of S. exigua, their mortality was 50.0% and weight of larvae were significantly different compare with control and only neem treatment. Therefore For effective control reducing population of beet armyworm and possibility to develop resistance against BT and eco-friendly agents, mixture of 0.016% Matrine and BT ($5{\times}10^4cfu$) could be used.
