This study was conducted to predict the yield loss of red pepper and to determine the economic weed thresholds levels for red pepper cultivation field from competition with the most serious weeds, Echinochlor crus-galli (L.) P. beauv. (barnyard grass) and Chenopodium album L. (goosefoot) in Youngyang of Korea. Crop yield as a function of weed density was predicted by using a rectangular hyperbola, and their economic threshold levels were determined by using the equation developed by Cousens (1987). The red pepper yield loss models of weeds were predicted as y=317.0 kg/ (1+0.1707x), $R^2$=0.895 in E. crus-galli and y=323.2 kg/(1+0.2900x), $R^2$=0.896 in C. album L.. Economic thresholds calculated using Cousens' equation was negatively related with the competitiveness of weed. Economic thresholds of each weed were calculated as 6.5 plant $100m^{-2}$ in E. crus-galli, and 3.7 plant $100m^{-2}$ in C. album L..

To develop the third generation herbicidal cyclic imide (Cyl) derivatives, the new 1-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-propargyloxyphenyl)-3-thiourea derivatives were synthesized and measured their herbicidal activities ($pI_{50}$) in vivo (preemergence) against rice plant (Orysa Sativa) and barnyard grass (Echinochlor crus-galli). The synthetic yields (%) of aryl derivatives (21-40) in general was higher than that of alkyl derivatives (1-20). In case of alkyl derivatives, the synthetic yield depended on the structural forms of alkyl amine groups. From the results of correlation analysis between herbicidal activities and substituents, the compound 8 and 24 showed the highest herbicidal activity against the shoot and root of barnyard grass. Especially, the compounds 11 and 6 showed the selective herbicidal activities between rice plant and barnyard grass.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of U-Granule formulation of molinate(S-ethylhexaphdro-1H-azepine-1-carbothioate) mixtures in green house and paddy field, Five minutes were taken for U-Granule to spread out 7m in irrigated water of direct seeded on flooded paddy surface. The concentration of active ingredient of molinate in molinate U-Granule application was similar to molinate+simetryn U-Granule application. But weeding effect of molinate+simetryn U-Granule on Echinochlor crus-galli was 23% higher Than single application of molinate at 7m from application point. Bioefficacy of molinate+simetryn+imazosulfuron U-Granule on control of Echinochloa crus-galli was higher than that of molinzte+imazosulfuton U-Granule, but those effect on Eleochairs kuroguwai was not significantly different. Only slight rice phytotoxicity was observed at 5m and 2m from application point of U-Granule molinate+simetryn+imazosulfuron and molinate+imazosulfuron, respectively. So it is concluded that there is little phytotoxicity problem in practical application of U-Granule of molinate mixtures.

The experiment was carried out to investigate weed occurrence in peony field. The number of weeds was Compositate 9 species, Gramineae 4 species, Craciferae 3 species, Eugarviaceae, Polygonaceae and Scrophularilaceae 2 species, respectively. Weeds classified by life cycle were annual weed 19 species (57.6%), biennial weed 8 species (24.2%), and perennial weed 6 species (18.2%). Weed species and dominance rate by morphological characteristics were grass weed 4 species (12.1%), broad leaf weed 25 species (84.8%), and sedge weed 1 species (3.1 %) . Major dominant weeds were Capsella bursa-pastoris, Chemopodium album var. centrorubrum and Equisetum arvense in late April, and Digitaria sanguinalis, Erigeron canadensis and Echinochlor crus-galli in late June, and Digitaria sanguinalis, Erigeron canadensis and Echinochlor crus-galli in middle August.

Effect of a new postemergence herbicide carfentrazone-ethyl on controlling weeds in pear orchards was examined and compared with that of glyphosate and glufosinate. Herbicides tested were applied in mid June when weeds had reached at an average height of 15 to 20cm. The experimented orchards were infested mainly by dicots of Artemisia princeps, Chenopodium album, Polygonum hydropiper, Erigeron canadensis, Commelina cummunis, Calystegia japonica, and Amaranthus ascenders, and monocots of Echinochlor crus-galli, Digitaria sangunalis, Setaria viridis, and several sedges, Carfentrazone-ethyl alone effectively controlled dicot weeds in the orchards, but not monocot weeds. Especially, sedges were not adequately controlled by carfentrazone-ethyl alone at any application rates examined. Glyphosate or glufosinate was more effective to control monocot weeds than carfentrazone-ethyl, whereas carfentrazone-ethyl exhibited higher effect on dicot weeds than glyphosate or glufosinate. Carfentrazone-ethyl mixed with glyphosate of the half recommended rate exhibited a higher degree of weed control, especially of E. crus-galli, as compared to the herbicide mixture of carfentrazone-ethyl with glufosinate of the half recommended rate. However, no phytotocixity of the herbicides to pear trees was observed. Our results demonstrate that catfentrazone-ethyl is useful to reduce the application rates and to accelerate the weed controlling effect of glyphosate or glufosinate. Thus, carfentrazone-ethyl in combination with glyphosate or glufosinate can successfully be used to control the most important weeds in orchards.

In the search for third generation herbicidal cyclic imide derivatives, the average values of herbicidal activity ($pI_{50}$) in vivo (pre-emergence) of 40 new peroxidizing herbicides, 1-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-propargyloxyphenyl)thiourea derivatives (1-40) against rice plant (Orysa sativa) and barnyard grass (Echinochlor crus-galli) were studied. The molecular similarity between protoporphyrinogen IX (protogen) as the substrate of protox enzyme and Urea derivatives (1-40) was discussed quantitatively. The diallyl (20) and 3-nitro substituent (33) showed the selective herbicidal activity against barnyard grass. Allyl substituent (8) and their molecular similarity in dice (S=0.81) showed the highest levels of herbicidal activity ($pI_{50}$=4.71). Also, similarity indices (S) and superimposed volume (C) of protogen and aryl-substituents (21-40) showed good correlation.
