For the purpose of effective control strategy of the melon aphid, Aphis gossypii and the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, thiamethoxam and 3 other insecticides in different classes were used with bioassay test methods in laboratory and greenhouse. They were examined to evaluated and compared with contact toxicity, stomach toxicity, rapid action, systemic action, and residual effect of imidacloprid, thiamethoxam (nicotinoids), acephate (organophosphorates), and carbosulfan (carbamates). As results of contact toxicity responses of A. gassypii against 4 insecticides using a spray application method, $LC_{50}$ values of acephate, carbosulfan, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam were 41.9, 5.2, 1.1, and 0.7 ppm. respectively. In the evaluation of stomach toxicity response of P. xylostella using a leaf-dipping method, with the 2nd instar larva $LC_{50}$ values of imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and acetamiprid were 64.9, 24.6 and 15.2 ppm, with the 3rd instar larva were 125.2, 42.7 and 27.8 ppm. and with the 4th instar larva were 241.1, 44.5 and 23.9 ppm, respectively. In the case of rapid action to A. gossypii using a spray application method after inoculation, $LT_{50}$ values of imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, carbosulfan, and acephate were 26.6, 28.0, 30.3, and 41.7 min. respectively. Otherwise, in the inoculation after applying compounds, $LT_{50}$ values of thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, and carbosulfan were 95.5, 118.0, and 122.9 min. respectively. Evaluating to systemic action from the abaxial surface to the adaxial surface of red pepper leaf with spray method, $LT_{50}$ values of thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, and carbosulfan were 162.2, 168.9, and 564.1 min. respectively. For the systemic action from the lower leaves to the upper leaves on red pepper, $LT_{50}$ values of carbosulfan, thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, and acephate were 2.3, 2.9, 3.0, and 8.8 days, respectively. In red pepper plant, $LT_{50}$ values of carbosulfan, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, and acephate on the systemic action from the roots to the upper leaf were 0.6, 1.0, 1.0, and 13.8 days, respectively. As these results, it might be that thiamethoxam was excellent on systemic effect in red pepper. For the evaluation of residual effect on red pepper with A. gossypii, thiamethoxam and imidacloprid maintained high control effects as over 80% upto 10 days after treating compounds.

Studies on the resistance monitoring of green peach ahpid, Myzus persicae, its development pattern by artificial selection with imidacloprid and cross-resistance were carried out to develope resistance management strategy. Resistance ratios of M. persicae collected at Hwachon and Dunnae among 5 locations in alpine cultivation area appeared to be high as 37.2 and 16.5, respectively. Resistance of aphid to imidacloprid developed slowly up to 20 time selection, and after that it grew quickly. Imidacloprid-resistant aphid strain showed low cross-resistance ratios(<10) to most of organophosphates, carbamates, and mixed insecticides except pirimicarb(487.8), but high ratios to acetamiprid(143.0) which is one of the neonicotinoids like imidacloprid, and pyrethroids such as deltamethrin(14.9), flucythrinate(12.9) and halothrin(15.9).

Residual effect of imidacloprid on brown planthopper (BPH) and residues on rice plant were investigated in pot and field tests. Residual effect (showing 100% mortality) of imidacloprid of granule formulation on the BPH lasted for 40 days at a recommended dose (0.3 kg a.i./ha) and for 30 and 20 days at a half and a quarter of the recommended dose, respectively. In case of liquid formulation of imidacloprid, the residual effect lasted for 40 days at both recommended dose (0.032 kg a.i.1ha) and a half of it, and lasted for 30 days at a quarter of it. The next generation formation of BPH was throughly depressed by the imidacloprid application at the former generation. This result supports the residual effect of imidacloprid on BPH. Seed dressing (3 ghg) showed insecticidal activity (96.7% mortality) for 55 days after treatment. When granule formulation of imidacloprid was applied to soil at a recommended dose , imidacloprid residue in leaves of rice plant increased up to 0.46 ppd for 6 days and then decreased to 0.09 ppm on 40 days after application. Residue of imidacloprid in leaves of rice plant increased up to about 0.23 ppm and about 0.2 ppm for 6 days when applied at a half and a quarter of the recommended dose, respectively and after that they decreased.

Sublethal dose effect of imidacloprid on green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) was investigated. Nymphs of green peach aphid newly produced were counted on 4 days after sub-lethal dose treatment of imidacloprid. Numbers of nymph were not significantly different between $LC_1$ treatment and untreated control. Their numbers of nymph were 8.8 and 12.7 at $LC_1$ and untreated control, respectively. When they were tented at $LC_{10}$, $LC_{30}$ and $LC_{50}$. their numbers of newly produced nymph were 6.0, 5.1 and 3.9 and reduction rates were 52.7%, 59.8% and 69.3% at each treatment compare to untreated control. Reduction rates of newly laid nymph were proportional to the concentrations of imidacloprid treated. Repellent effect of aphid to imidacloprid was bigger in dipping than in watering method. Secretion amount had negative correlation with imidacloprid concentration in dipping method and suppression of secretion went up to 96%. In watering method, amount of secretion did not show any difference between insecticide concentration, but suppression, compared to untreated control, was over 97%.

CoMFA and CoMSIA model were derived and reviewed on the insecticidal activities of N-substituents (X) on the imidazol ring in imidacloprid analogues at the different alignment condition. Regarding the predictability ($q^2$ or $r_{cv.}^2$) and fitness ($r_{ncv.}^2$) of the two optimized models, the atom based fit (A) alignments were better than that of the field fit (F) alignment and, on the other hand, CoMSIA (A10) model was better than CoMFA (A5) model. Also, from the most optimized CoMSIA (A10) model, the insecticidal activity by N-substituents (X) was dependence on the electrostatic field and H-bond acceptor field. It is predicted that, from the contour maps with optimized CoMSIA (A10) model, H-bond acceptors at ortho- and meta- position will contribute for improving of insecticidal activities and, as the functional groups of carbonyl oxygen atom are charged negatively and positively charged at the ortho- position of benzyl group, insecticidal activities will also be improved.

Chlorothalonil and imidacloprid sprayed onto the green peppers were degraded more faster at outdoor than in greenhouse. These results were affected by dew and photodegration, considering no rain during the experimental period. Chlorothalonil, esfenvalerate and imidacloprid in green pepper, green twist pepper and sweet pepper did not show any residual pattern, because green peppers are one of the continuous harvesting crops and pesticides could not be sprayed homogeneously on them. When green peppers were pickled with soy sauce and green twist peppers were fried with vegetable oil, the amounts of pesticides such as alpha-cypermethrin, bifenthrin, chlorfenapyr, esfenvalerate and imidacloprid were diminished to the levels of about $30{\sim}71$ and $20{\sim}41%$, respectively. Esfenvalerate and imidacloprid could not be detected in 2 month-old hot pepper paste. The removal rates of pesticide residues in leaves of green peppers were about $22{\sim}37%$ by washing, about $74{\sim}95%$ by parboiling, and about $17{\sim}55%$ by drying after parboiling.
