  • Four field experiments were carried out from 1998 to 1999 and from 1999 to 2000 growing seasons of potato to investigate the relationship between leafminers and Alternaria alternata. The experiments established differential susceptibility among potato varieties to alternaria leaf necrosis, relationship between leafminer infestation and the level of necrosis, use of insecticides to reduce leafminer and leaf necrosis damages, and use of polyester fleece to eliminate leafminer and eventually reduce leaf necrosis. Results of the study indicate that control of leafminer is of primary importance because this will automatically lead to control of the damage caused by A. alternata.

Responses of Citrus Leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) for a Sex Pheromone Component, (Z,Z)-7,11-hexadecadienal on Jeju Island (제주지역에서 귤굴나방, Phyllocnistis citrella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae)의 성페로몬, (Z,Z)-7,11-hexadecadienal에 대한 반응)

  • The citrus leafminer (CLM), Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, is an oligophagous pest of Rutaceae family, especially Citrus spp. occurring in most worldwide citrus-growing areas. This study was conducted to evaluate a sex pheromone chemical of CLM, (Z,Z)-7,11-hexadecadienal (7Z,11Z-16:Al) in monitoring CLM by trap types, the diel activity and the influence of some weather factors on trap catch. CLM was well attracted on a trap baited 7Z,11Z-16:Al 1mg. Sticky wing trap was more effective than bucket trap. Most caught CLM were attracted at 2$\sim$6 a.m. regardless of season, and activity time of CLM was affected by sunrise time as well as sunset time. The trap catch of CLM was more influenced by wind velocity than temperature for activity time of CLM. The number of caught CLM was fallen at below 13$^{\circ}C$, but there was little effect for trap catch at over that temperature. The average wind velocity at over 2.0 m/sec made the number of caught CLM drop down. The precipitation did not affect the number of caught CLM when the average wind velocity was lower than at 2.0 m/sec.

  • Leaf damage by apple leafminer, Lyonetia prunifoliella, was surveyed on Fuji apple orchards with seedling rootstock from 1992 to 2001 and with M.9 rootstock from 1999 to 2001. The damage was negligible in apple orchards with seedling rootstock as 0.15% in 1992 and 0.06% in 1993. However it sharply increased to more than 3.39% since 1994, reaching at peak damage of 6.28% to 7.78% in 1996 to 1998. Damages on apple orchards with M.9 rootstock from 1999 to 2001 were higher as 6.09% to 15.3%, compared with those with seedling rootstock in the same years. In seedling rootstock apple, the damage was highest on september but in M.9 rootstock apple, the difference was not significant. Leaf damage showed no differences between cultivars including 4 Korean cultivars and Fuji. These results may explain that increase of M.9 rootstock apple orchards is responsible for the recent outbreak of the leafminer in Korea.

  • Control effects of some insecticides were evaluated against the stone leek leafminer, Liriomyra chinensis Kato (Diptera: Agromyzidae) with the some different treatment methods. Insecticidal activities effects were estimated on the different development stages of the insects on welsh onion. The insecticides that controlled L. chinensis eggs with over 83% efficacy were spinosad, dimethoate, emamectin, and cartap. The insecticides that showed over 87% of larvicidal activity were dimethoate and cartap. Dimethoate showed 93.3% insecticide residual activity for 3 days a(ter treatment as a foliar spray. For control of pupae, the insecticides that showed over 88% of contact insecticidal activity were terbufos GR and cartap GR. Both dimethoate and cartap had high adulticidal activity with over 95% control efficacy.

  • The American serpentine leafminer (ASL), Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), was fist found from a vinyl house planting gerbera in Kwangju area on January 26, 1994. To learn its distribution and damage pattern on crop plants, a nationwide survey was carried out at 293 vinyl houses from 25 cities/counties in six provinces. Its damage was found at 22 vinyl houses in Kwangju and Chinju areas. The range of leaves damaged by the ASL was 5-100% on gerbera, 40-70% on chrysanthemum, 20% on cherry-tomato, and 5-20% on celery. Host crop plants included gerbera, chrysanthemum, celery, cherry-tomato, watermelon, and pumpkin.

  • Susceptibility of American serpentine leafminer, Liriomyza trifolii, to four insecticides (abamectin, ememectin benzoate, spinosad and milbemectin) was tested in the laboratory. All insecticides showed high mortality on the egg and larval stage, but on pupa and adult. Oviposition was 100% suppressed by abamectin, emamectin benzoate and spinosad, and 85% by milbemectin. The three insecticides except milbemectin inhibited greatly the feeding activity of adults. Adult longevity was reduced (0.8-1.4 days) by the tree insecticides except milbemectin, in comparison with 5.5 days in control. Abamectin, emamectin benzoate and spinosad were effective on oviposition until 7 days after treatment, but milbemetin was not.

  • The apple leafminer, Phyllonorycrer ringoniella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), is the most important pest on apple leaves and is not easy to be controlled with insecticides because of leafmining habit of its larvae. This study was undertaken to develop an artificial diet for mass rearing of the moth, and to look at their reproductive behavior. For developing an artificial diet the problem of diet contamination with microorganisms and how to supply artificial diet to first instar larvae have to be solved first. Artificial oviposition trial was successful with shadowy bottomside of various papers sprayed with apple leaf extracts. The highest activity of both calling and mating was observed within 30 min. after the onset of photophase and 3- to 4-day -old adults showed the highest mating rate. A ring-shaped sex pheromone gland was found at the intersegmental membrane between the 8th and 9th abdominal segments of the female. (E, 2)-4,lOtetradecadienyl acetate was identified as the major component from the femall gland extracts by the gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry. Additionally it was thought that (a-10-tetradecenyl acetate could be the second component of their sex pheromone.
