In the survey from 1992 to 2000, twenty-eight parasitic diseases were observed in major apple producing areas in Korea. The predominant apple diseases were white rot(Botryosphaeria dothidea), Marssonina blotch(Marssonina mali), Valsa canker(Valsa ceratosperma), Alternaria leaf spot(Alternaria mali), and bitter rot(Collectotrichum gloeosporioides and C. acutatum). Apple scab that reappeared in 1990 after disappearance for 15 years was disappeared again since 1997. A viroid disease(caused by apple scar skin viroid) was newly found in this survey. The five diseases, fire blight(Erwinia amylovora), black rot(Botryosphaeria obtusa), scab(Cladosporium carpophilum), Monochaetia twig blight(Monochaetia sp.), and brown leaf spot(Hendersonia mali), which had once described in 1928 but no further reports on their occurrence, were not found in this survey. However, blossom blight(Monilinia mali), brown rot(Monilinia fructigena), and pink rot(Trichothecium roseum), which did not occur on apple after mid 1970s, were found in this survey.

The effects of developed grape bags on the micro-climate changes of bag, physiological disorder, pathogenic decay, quality and harvest time evaluation in 'Campbell Early' grapevines were studied. The temperature and light transmittance of developed grape bags showed no differences compared with the onces of conventional bag and non-bagging, but relative humidity and the amount of water evaporation were changed in all treatments. The occurrence of unfertilized fruit, poorly colored fruit, russet and gray mold rot showed no significant difference in all treatment at harvest time. Developed grape bags decreased effectively the occurrence of cracking fruit and bitter rot in 'Campbell Early' fruit. There was no difference in growth of cluster and berry, soluble solids and total acidity in fruits, degree of skin color and bloom appearance at harvest time. The skin color and fruit boom and harvest time evaluation in developed grape bags were resulted excellent compared with the once of conventional bag and non bagging.

Apple grower in the Cheongsong region, Korea has reported the increased loss of apple yield due to severe bitter rot incidence. We noticed that this indience is because the Colletotrichum population has developed resistance to commonly used fungicides. We isolated 39 Colletotrichum isolates from 13 orchards in Cheongsong, and all the isolated Colletotrichum species were identified as C. siamense or C. fructicola. These 39 strains were tested for mycelial growth and conidial germination against 12 fungicides. trifloxystrobin (30-55% in recommended concentrations) was shown lower inhibitory effect on mycelial growth. However, the inhibition of conidial germination was shown higher than mycelial growth (62-100%). Kresoxim-methyl was shown lower inhibitory effect on mycelial growth (29-55%). conidial germination inhibitory effect was shown 51% to 96%. dithianon was shown diversity response to inhibition of mycelial growth (43-100%). Tebuconazole was shown high inhibitory effect on mycelial growth (84-100%) and conidial germination inhibitory effect was shown to be 64 to 100%. metconazole has been found to display with high inhibitory effect on mycelial growth (79-100%) and conidial germination (70-80%). fluazinam was shown to possess high inhibitory effect on mycelial growth (87-100%) and conidial germination (94-100%). This study provides basic information for the effective management of apple bitter rot.

For the purpose of acquiring microbial agents that can be utilized to biologically control the major airborne diseases to apple trees, such as canker(Botryosphaeria dothidea), bitter rot(Glomerella cingulata), alternaria leaf spot(Alternaria mali), root rot(rosellinia necatrix), canker(Valsa ceratosperma) and gray mold rot(Botrytis cinerea), the effective microorgaisms were isolated, tested for antagonistic activity to the pathogens causing major diseases to apple trees and identifed. Screening of more than 5,000 species of microorganisms collected in nature for them antagonistic action to the pathogens causing 5 major diseases to apple trees resulted in selection of effective species. Out of the 11 species, one species designated as CAP134 demonstrated outstanding activity. The bacterial strain, CAP134 exerted antagonistic efficiency of 57% on an isolated strain and 40% on a donated strain of Botryosphaeria dothidea., 52% on an isolated strain and 46% on a purchased strain of Alternaria mali, 60% on Valsa ceratosperma 25% on Glomerella cingulata, and 64% Rosellinia necatrix. The CAP134 was identified as a bacterial strain to Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 based on morephology, culture conditions, and physio-biochemical characteristics.

1. Retention of fungicides and efect of the mixing of spreaders and insecticides with fungicides in control of apple bitter rot were evaluated by 'the assay of inhibition zones with apple exocarp disks:' 2. The effectiveness of chemicals was reduced gradually as the time after treatment increased. Of all the chemicals tested, Difolatan retained approximately 60 percent of the original activity even after IS days. Difolatan had the highest followed by Tuzet, Phaltan, Bordeaux mixture, and Delan, in that order. 3. The fungicidal acivity of Tuzet decreased with increasing application of simulated rain. The wash-offf of Tuzet was reduced by adding spreaders. Dry skim milk and soybean extract were better than commercial chemicals such as Lino No. 1,2 and Tween 20. 4. The mixing of insecticides such as EPN, Folithion, Parathion and Lebaycid with Phaltan resulted in no significant differences in fungicidal effect even after 12 days of storage at room temperature.

A basic spray program for apple in which fungicides are scheduled to spray at 15-day interval from petal fall to late August was formulated on the properties of several selected fungicides. In order to improve it, experimental plots, completely randomized block with 3 replications, were prepared in an orchard of 15 years old Fuji cultivar, and the spray programs in which only one chemical in the basic spray program was substituted with others were applied to each plot. It was revealed that only single substitution of the fungicide in the basic spray program makes a great differences in the control of white rot and bitter rot, and that the control property of the fungicides against the two diseases was quite variable even by the time of application. A simila! ! r trial was conducted in 2002 with a new basic spray program that was formulated with fungicides that have shown best control in each spraying time in the previous trial, similar results were obtained. Applying this method, the usefulness of certain fungicide in the spray program for apple could be properly assessed. Anthracnose of Robinia pseudo-acacia L. caused by Collectotrichum spp.

The effect of heat-shock treatment of soybean on the quality characteristics of soybean sprouts was investigated. Six groups of soybeans were heat-treated in 35, 40, 45$^{\circ}C$ for 60 and 120 min respectively and then cultivated by a standard method to measure growth parameters, rot ratio, color, vitamin C content and sensory characteristics. Soybean sprouts of 4$0^{\circ}C$/120 min treatment showed the higher weight, while 4$0^{\circ}C$/60 min sample showed thicker hypocotyl and longer cotyledon than the control. In both rot ratio and viable cell count, the lowest values were obtained in soybean sprouts of control and also in 4$0^{\circ}C$/60 min treated samples, while other heat-treated samples showed higher rot ratio and cell counts than the control. Heat treatment of soybean increased the lightness and decreased the yellowness of cotyledon of sprouts. Vitamin C contents of sprouts were increased by heat treatment. Sensory test showed that the heat treatment reduced benny odor and bitter taste but enhanced the nutty taste. Soybean sprouts of 4$0^{\circ}C$/60 min resulted in significantly higher scores in overall appearance and palatability than other samples.

In 2005, average temperature was lower, and average rainfall was less than those of previous year. The diseases of rice, barley, pepper, chinese melon, apple and oriental pear were surveyed. Bacterial blight, bacterial grain rot, and panicle disease of rice, black rot of pear, and white rot and bitter rot of apple were severe. Especially, brown rot of rice occurred four times higher than those of previous year. Panicle blight of rice increased about 3 times, compared with the previous year, presumed that the higher rainy days, rainfall and RH promoted spread of the fungal pathogens to panicles of rice. The diseases of rice leaf blast, sudden wilt syndrome, downy mildew and powdery mildew of chinese melon in plastic greenhouse, and virus diseases of hot pepper occurred distinctly less than those of the previous year. Another diseases surveyed occurred similar or less.
