An extrapolation of residue data of seven commonly used pesticides namely bifenthrin, chlorothalonil, cypermethrin, diazinon, fenvalerate, phenthoate and procymidone on a total of 22 minor crops has been carried out in an experimental field trial. The pesticides were applied to 11 leafy-, 5 root- and 6 stem-crops grown in the experimental green-house and the crops and plants were randomly collected at 1, 3, 5, 7 days after application. The average recoveries of applied pesticides were ranged from 72.0 to 117.0% in leafy crops, from 81.3 to 105.0% in stem crops and from 70.1 to 108.1% in the root-crops. Limits of detection (LODs) were 0.005-0.1 mg/kg in the leafy crops and 0.001-0.005 mg/kg in both the stem & root crops. Based on the results of residual dissipation pattern and their morphology, all crops were classified into high and low residual groups. The results showed that it might be possible to extrapolate residual data of stem-crops to root-crops within the same group. Crops that have currently no registered pesticide for use, would be possible to use the pesticides which are already been registered for the similar crops.

Dollar spot caused by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa F.T. Benn. is a common and economically important turfgrass disease in South Korea. Fungicides were evaluated for control of dollar spot in creeping bentgrass golf course putting green. Commercial formulations of propiconazole, thiophanate-methyl, chlorothalonil, trifloxystrobin and boscalid were applied to plots of creeping bentgrass, each of the latter four fungicides was tank mixed with propiconazole at the same rates, and applied as treatments. The dollar spot severity in the nontreated plots of field A and B progressed toward peak diseases of 18.3 and 66.7% from 10 or 15 days after inoculation, respectively. Significant differences were detected among control values of the fungicides. Dollar spot control provided by boscalid was significantly greater than the other fungicides which showed low control values in a higher disease condition. No synergistic interactions, except propiconazole + thiophanate-methyl treated plot, were detected under a lower disease pressure. However, under a higher disease pressure, synergism was observed at all fungicide combinations, except a propiconazole and boscalid tank mixture. These data suggest turfgrass managers in golf course can take advantage of fungicide synergism to control dollar spot using the products and rates in this study.

In the laboratory experiment, concentration and rate of runoff of 7 pesticides were measured under the simulated rainfall. Total runoff rate of metolachlor, alachlor, chlorothalonil, chlorpyrifos, EPN, phorate and captafol were 57.0, 14.2, 13.2, 7.9, 7.2, 7.1 and 2.8%, respectively, and the average runoff concentrations were 940, 399, 55, 7.0, 9.3, 151 and 7.0 ppb, respectively. Significant relationship was observed between the runoff rate and water solubility in the laboratory experiment(r=0.923). Even though not very high, relatively significant results were obtained in other experimental conditions. Based on the results, runoff rate prediction$[Y=0.2812{\times}10exp(0.261logWS-0.366)+0.3594{\times}10exp(-0.545logKoc+1.747)+0.3594{\times}10exp(-0.362log\;Kow+1.105]$ and conversion equations were calculated to investigate the possibility of estimating runoff rate in the field by natural rain. Calculated runoff rate by conversion equation was similar to experimental result with captafol in the field while 6 times higher result was obtained by the prediction equation. Therefore, those prediction and conversion equations derived from the laboratory experiment data and physicochemical properties of the pesticides could be used for the prediction of field runoff rate of pesticides by natural rainfall.

For the effective control of pepper anthracnose, in vitro antifungal activities of 13 commercial fungicides were tested on spore germination, mycelial growth, and sporulation of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, anthracnose fungus. Among them, captan, chlorothalonil, dithianon, fluazinam and folpet completely inhibited the spore germination of C. gloeosporioides at the concentration of 0.8 ${\mu}g/ml$. They were followed by mancozeb and propineb, showing more than 80% inhibition of spore germination at 20 ${\mu}g/ml$. The mycelial growth of C. gloeosporioides was strongly inhibited by fluazinam and nuarimol. Except for nuarimol, most of the fungicides represented more antifungal activity on the spore germination than the mycelial growth of C. gloeosporioides. Azoxystrobin and metominostrobin, Strobilurin fungicides, were only moderately active against the spore germination and the mycelial growth of C. gloeosporioides, but they were effective antisporulant against C. gloeosporioides. From these results, control of pepper anthracnose will have achieved by preventive spray of the commercial fungicides.

Alternaria mali isolated from infected apples in storages and orchards of the four main apple growing areas of Taegu, Yesan, Jungup and Chungju in Korea was tested with various fungicides added in PSA medium. The fungal tolerance varied with little difference by orchard area and with great difference by king and concentration of fungicide. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of chlorothalonil and captafol was $100,238{\mu}g\;and\;81,000{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, showing low effects with high fungal tolerance; of iprodione and folpet was $3,285{\mu}g\;and\;3,000{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, showing moderate effects with moderate fungal tolerance; and of oxidong, polyoxin and polydong was $1,000{\mu}g,\;900{\mu}g\;and\;500{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, showing high effects with low fungal tolerance. Mycelial growth, conidia formation and conidia germination of the fungus showed a similar trend of response to the seven fungicides.

Toxicity of 5 acaricides, 4 insecticides. and 6 fungicides to the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, and its predator Amblyseius womersleyi Schicha was assessed in a laboratory using a leaf disk bioassay. Dicofol was equally very toxic to aduly females of T. urticae and A. womersleyi, and caused 46% and 40% mortality of eggs of those two species, respectively. Adult females of A. womersleyi dipped in Abamectin solution showed low mortality(16.6%), while all T. urticae females died within 24 hours after dipping. Three ovicidal acaricides (Tetradifon, Clofentezine, and Hexythiazox) showed no mortality of predator eggs, but more than 90% mortality of T. urticae eggs. Four insecticides (Teflubenzuron, Triflumuron, Diflubenzuron, and Imidacloprid) and three fungicides (Propineb, Fenarimol, and Polyoxin-B captan) were non toxic to the A. womersleyi adult females. The other fungicides (Chlorothalonil, Nuarimol.Mancozeb, and Folpet) were a little toxic to adult females of the predator, showing$\leq$23.3% mortality, It may be suggested from these results that 4 insecticides, 4 acaricides, and 6 fungicides described could be incorporated into the integrated pest management system with A. womersleyi in apple orchard.

In 1999 and 2002, 130 and 258 isolates of Colletotrichum spp. causing red pepper anthracnose were obtained from infected red pepper fruits, respectively. Their responses to 4 protective and 3 ergosterol biosynthesis-inhibiting(EBI) fungicides were investigated by observing their mycelial growth on PDA incorporated with different concentrations of each fungicide. The Colletotrichum isolates obtained in 1999 showed higher $EC_{50}$ values than those isolated in 2002 against three protective fungicides such as dithianon, chlorothalonil, and propineb, whereas the response was reversed toward other protective fungicide, iminoctadine. On the other hand, the isolates of year 1999 were more resistant against three EBI fungicides such as tebuconazole, hexaconazole, and prochloraz than those of year 2002; the $EC_{50}$ values of the former were 1.2-4.4 times higher than those of the latter, The responses of the Colletotrichum isolates toward protective and EBI fungicides were fluctuated according to regions, where the infected fruits were collected. On the other hand, the resis tance of Colletotrichum isolates to protective fungicides increased during monitoring from July to September, However, their responses towards EBI fungicides were not changed.

A study was carried out to optimize the cleanup step using a solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge, $SupelClean^{TM}$ Florisil, for multiresidue analysis of 16 pesticides in cucumber matrix. Eluting efficiencies of two solvent systems including acetone/n-hexane and ethyl acetate/n-hexane mixtures were critically evaluated by recoveries of target anaytes from the SPE Florisil column. Based on the recovery as a measure of eluting efficiency, an acetone/n-hexane (20/80,v/v) mixture provided more than 80% recovery for 15 pesticides except bifenthrin. In case of ethyl acetate/n-hexane, 14 pesticides showed recoveries higher than 75% while those far alachlor and bifenthrin were less than 30%.
