Sampling plan using yellow sticky traps for the major strawberry flying pests - western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis adults, cotton aphid Aphis gossypii alate and greenhouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporarium adults was developed to determine the initial occurrence time. The analyzed trap data were obtained from three commercial strawberry greenhouses for the whole growing season (September to May of the following year) during 2013 to 2017 in Jeju province. Three flying pests showed the aggregated distribution patterns resulted from commonly used regression techniques - Taylor's power law and Iwao's patchiness regression. Taylor's power law was better description of mean-variance relationship of the western flower thrips and the cotton aphid than Iwao's patchiness regression, otherwise greenhouse whitefly was better described by Iwao's patchiness regression. There were highly significant correlated among mean density per trap, maximum density and proportion of traps with more than 10 individuals. To estimate 4.0 heads of mean density per trap, the minimum number of traps were required 13 traps for western flower thrips, 11 traps for cotton aphid and 10 traps for greenhouse whitefly. The sequential sampling plans at the fixed precision level 0.25 were developed using parameters of Taylor's power law for western flower thrips and cotton aphid, and of Iwao's patchiness regression for greenhouse whitefly.

External morphology characteristics of the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporarium were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The antennae of the greenhouse whitefly was 6 segments. rod-shape, and 0.3mm length. On the 6th segment, there were many sensilla for searching host-plant as olfactory receptor. The mouthpart of the greenhouse whitefly was a piercing-sucing type, then its stylet was well developed for piercing plant leaf tissue. Claw of the foreleg was a 3-way hook shape including paranychium for attaching plant surface to pierce and lay egg.

Whitefly populations found in heated tomato greenhouses were monitored across three locations in Korea (Nonsan and Buyeo, Chungnam Province; Iksan, Jeonbuk Province) from November to May during the 2015 -2018 growing seasons. From May to October, surveys were conducted in Jangsu (Jeonbuk Province), where retarding cultivation was performed. Whitefly populations were classified and quantified by location and year. The dominant species were Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) and Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius). The species populations were mixed, but the frequency of occurrece of B. tabaci was higher than that of T. vaporariorum. Although whitefly populations started to increase in late March, they sharply increased in May and the highest population density was observed at the end of the harvest season. Therefore, the management of greenhouse tomato whiteflies through monitoring should begin in early March. In the case of retarding cultivation, the management of whitefly populations should be implemented in June, before the density of whitefly populations increases.

The effect of the trap equipped with diverse light-emitting lamp on the lure efficiency of whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) was investigated in the greenhouse cultivating tomato. The light-emitting lamp type equipped to trap was blue, yellow, and white light-emitting lamp. The experiment results showed that trap equipped with blue light-emitting lamp captured the most number of $110{\pm}3.2$ adult whitefly and the number of captured adult whitefly was $71{\pm}1.4$ at yellow light-emitting lamp trap and $45{\pm}1$ at white light-emitting lamp trap respectively. The wavelength distribution band of blue light-emitting lamp was between 330 nm and 430 nm. The wavelength band of yellow and white light-emitting lamp contain repellent wavelength band at the same time. These results show that the trap equipped with blue light-emitting lamp could be used effectively for whitefly control and prevention in the greenhouse cultivating tomato.

The virulence of five Verticillium lecanii strains against greenhouse whiteflies, Trialeurodes vaporariorum, was tested at various temperatures as a major environmental factor. Strain CS-626 was found to be the most durable strain at a broad temperature range, and highly virulent against greenhouse whiteflies in a detached-leaf bioassay. In a tomato plant pot experiment, the $LT_{50}\;and\;LC_{50}$ of the CS-626 strain were 6.2 days and $2.3{\times}10^6$ conidia/ml, respectively. The optimal concentration of CS-626 for successful infection was $1{\times}10^8$conidia/ml. These results indicate that the CS-626 strain of Verticillium lecanii has a strong potential for effectively controlling greenhouse whiteflies.

The greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) and the sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) are serious insect pests that have a wide host range including cucumber, tomato, and pepper. In this study, we tested larvicidal efficacy of several on-the-market environment-friendly agricultural materials (EFAM) to select the effective products after the target pests were stabilized in indoor rearing condition. The developmental periods of two whiteflies are as follows: in the case of T. vaporariorum, egg duration is 9.6 days and nymph is 18.9 days, and in the case of B. tabaci, egg duration is 7.4 days and nymph is 15.2 days under $25^{\circ}C$ with relative humidity (RH) of $60{\pm}5%$ and a photoperiod of 16 L:8D. The total period of T. vaporariorum was 5 days longer than B. tabaci. Among 22 EFAMs six products showed more than 60% of insecticide efficacy against T. vaporariorum BTV B, BTV D, BTV G, BTV L, BTV M, and BTV S. On the other hand, seven EFAM products showed over 60% of insecticide efficacy against B. tabaci BTV D, BTV G, BTV K, BTV L, BTV M, BTV N, and BTV U. In the case of Spodptera litura previously, 16 EFAMs were tested against $2^{nd}$ instar S. litura, and six EFAMs were found to have more than 90% efficacy. Test of these six EFAMs against entire larval stages were performed in this study. Although some of these products showed still more than 90% of insecticidal efficacy against up to $3^{rd}$ instar larvae, the efficacy of these EFAMs sharply decreased as ages increase, resulting in less than 60% of efficacy of the products at most. This result indicates the difficulty to control S. litura with the on-the-market EFAMs alone under economic injury level. Collectively, it is required to find more EFAMs, and find alternative method, and combined way of controlling to control those insect pests tested in this study.

For effective control of insect pest which can outbreak in a field during crop cultivation, various control agents such as eco-friendly agricultural materials (EFAM) including microbial control agents and chemical pesticides have been applied at fields and these control agents may be treated simultaneous or sequential in the same field to suppress diverse pests and diseases. The agents may influence each other and control efficacy may also differ from interactions. Therefore we need to test compatibility of microbial control agents with other agricultural agents. In this study, we investigated influence of pre-treated EFAMs, which are registered for whitefly control in greenhouse, on germination, mycelial growth and control efficacy of Isaria javanica isolate against sweet potato whitefly. The results showed that a mixture of paraffin oil+cinnamon oil among 4 EFAMs highly reduced germination ($8.9{\pm}1.3%{\sim}24.5{\pm}0.9%$) and mycelial growth ($0.81{\pm}0.01cm{\sim}0cm$) of I. javanica. To investigate the effects of the treatment interval between EFAMs and I. javanica on sweet potato whitefly control, four different EFAMs were pre-treated 0, 1, 4, and 7 days before applying I. javanica. Pre-treatment of four EFAMs inhibited insecticidal activity of I. javanica against sweet potato whitefly. Therefore when EFAMs and a mycopesticide using I. javanica spray simultaneous or sequential, application of EFAMs need more than 7 days interval after treatment of mycopesticide at field.
