We have obtained following results by executing this experiment to define effects of organic substances applied and temperature on fungistatic effect which is regarded as basic factor of inhibition against hot-pepper blight affection : 1. Fungistatic effect of soil on Phytophthora capsici is enlarged by application of organic material such as rice straw rather than matured composts. Morever, it is confirmed that fungistatic efect is more eminent at the temperature of $15^{\circ}C$ and $5^{\circ}C$ than at $30^{\circ}C$, Degree of fungistatic effect of soil tends to decrease as the goe on from the moment of using organic substance generally, in soil applied as the goes on from the moment of using organic substance generally, in soil applied rice straw it is prove that fungistatic effect is maintained stably in a long term. 2. Effect of applicating organic substances and treating by temperature on production of zoosporangium of Phytophthra capsici is reviewed. In case that sterilized soil solution is added on cultured hypae of Phytophthra capsici, increase in the production of zoosporangium is found which is statistically significant(at degree of 1%), while decrease effect statistically significant is found in case of adding soil solution used for applying bark compost. However, defferences between treatments of temperature is not found. On the other hand, when nonsterilized soil solution is added, significant defference between types of organic substance is not found, while significant difference is found between treatments of temperature, therefore formation of zoosporangium is increased at the condition of $5^{\circ}C$ comparing to that of $30^{\circ}C$. 3. Putting above result of examination concerning to composition of soil microrganisms in each treated soil and to fungistatic effect of them, it seems that fungi and bacteria in soil is mostly related to fungistatic activity of soil.

The experiment using Anake broiler strain chicks was conducted to study the effort fungistatic agents on microbial counts, Ins of nutrient, growth rate and feed efficiency of the broiler. Feed was adjusted to 12% and 15% moisture level during hot and high humidity season and sorbic acid at the level of 0.02%, 0.04% and Ca-propionic acid at the level 0.1% 0.2% was added. The results obtained were as follows. 1, The Addition of fungistatic agents could slightly reduce mold and yeast counts. The highest effect on inhibition of mold and yeast counts was observed for the addition of sorbic acid at 0.04% level to the fled contained 15% moisture. 2, Approximately 14% starch loss of ground corn was observed from the fred contained 15% moisture and the loss could be diminished to 3-7% by the addition of fungistatic agents with the superior effect of sorbic acid to Ca-propionic acid. 3. Approximately 15% fat loss was detected when high moisture fled was und and this was reduced to 7% by the addition of 0.04% sorbic acid to the feed. 4. Significantly higher growth rate (p＜0.05) during starter period was observed for low moisture feed added by sorbic acid compared with that for high moisture diet without fungistatic agents or with Ca-propionate at the level of 0.1%. 5. Significantly lower feed efficiency (p＜0.05) during starter period of high moisture feed without fungistatic agents was observed; hower no significant different response was detected by either moisturer level of kinds and levels of fungistatic agents used. 6. Significantly higher growth rate (p＜0.05) during finisher period of lower moisture feed with 0.04% sorbic acid was observed compared with that of high moisture fled without fungistatic agents or the feed added by 0.1% Ca-propionate level. 7. Significantly higher feed efficiency (p＜0.05) during finisher period of low moisture feed added by sorbic acid 0.02% or 0.04% level was found compared with that of high moisture feed without fungistatic agents and low moisture feed added by Ca-propionate at the level of 0.1% or 0.2%. 8. Mort bacteria, mold and yeast were observed in the ceca than in small intestine. The. moisture content of dict had no effect on intestinal microfloral counts. However, numbers of mold and yeast of intestine could slightly be reduced by fungistatic agents administration. 9. Nothing but encephalomalacia to chicks fed feed contained 15% moisture without addition of fungistatic agents was observed. In conclusion, addition of either sorbid acid at 0.04% level and Ca-propionate at 0.2% level to high moisture feed or reduced moisture level to 12% could be con-sidered more effective to enhance growth rate and fled efficiency of broilers during summer period.

The fungistatic and fungicidal activities of amphotericin B, fluconazole, miconazole, econazole, and 5-fluorocytosine against Saccharomyces cerevisiae were estimated in the presence of 1/2 minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and 1/2 minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of polygodial, respectively. Among them, the antifungal activities of miconazoles by polygodial was still shown against several yeast-like fungi including Candida albicans, Candida utilis, Cryptococcus neoformans, except for Candida krusei. The combination of polygodial with imidazole drugs against Saccharomyces cerevisiae was further examined using the macrobroth dilution checkerboard method. The fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) and the fractional fungicidal concentration (FFC) index between polygodial and miconazole were 0.16 and 0.19, while the combination of polygodial with econazole exhibited the FIC index of 0.19 and the FFC of 0.25, respectively. These results suggest that polygodial and the imidazoles on the fungistatic and fungicidal action are highly synergistic.

The combination effect of anethole with amphotericin B, fluconazole, miconazole, or 5-fluorocytosine was investigated against Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When combined with $\frac{1}{2}$ minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) or $\frac{1}{2}$ minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of anethole, the antifungal activities of fluconazole and 5-fluorocytosine were not changed, but the fungistatic and the fungicidal activities of miconazole were increased 64-fold, respectively. In the case of amphotericin B, the fungistatic activity was increased 2-fold, while the fungicidal activity was decreased 2-fold. The combination effect of anethole with miconazole or amphotericin B was also investigated at the various concentrations using the macrobroth dilution checkerboard method. The fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) and the fractional fungicidal concentration (FFC) index between B exhibited the FIC index of 8.25 and the FFC of 32.06, respectively. Thus, it is analyzed that the combination of anethole with miconazole or amphotericin B on the antifungal action shows synergism and antagonism, respectively.

The effect of Rhinacanthus nasutus leaf extract on the growth of dermatophytes had been investigated. In vitro the extract exhibited high activity against various species of dermatophytes (Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. mentagrophytes, T. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale, T. rubrum, Microsporum canis and M. gypseum). The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the extract revealed that all the dermatophytes tested had MIC values of 13.6 mg/ml. The extract exhibited fungistatic activity at lower concentrations $({\leq}13.6\;mg/ml\;or\;below\;the\;MIC\;value)$ and fungicidal activity at higher concentrations $({\geq}13.6\;mg/ml$\;or\;above\;the\;MIC\;value)$. The results suggested that the extract acted on the cell wall of the dermatophytes which subsequently leading to the formation of cytopathological and membrane structural degeneration and finally leading to cell lysis and death.

This study was conducted to find out antifungal activities of entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, against phytopathogenic fungi, Fusarium oxysporum, Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria solani. M. anisopliae was confirmed its antagonistic effect through mycelial inhibition zone of phytopathogenic fungi by culture filtrate of the antagonist. The filtrate (30%: v/v) inhibited the conidial germination of B. cinerea and F. oxysporum to 21.5% (control: 88.2%) and 53.0% (control: 78.6%), respectively and delayed the start of spore germination about 8hours. Microscopic observations proved that the addition of 10% culture filtrate of M. anisopliae restricted the growth of phytopathogenic fungus, F. oxysporum, to the formation of chlamydospore. From these results, we concluded that an addition effect of the filtrate from M. anisopliae on culturing F. oxysporum was fungistatic.
