In 2005, 90 isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causing persimmons tree anthracnose were obtained from infected twigs and fruits of persimmon trees. Their responses to nine fungicides, consisting of two benzimidazoles (thiophanate-methyl, carbendazim), three ergosterol-biosynthesis inhibitors (difenoconazole, myclobutanil, tebuconazole), and four protective fungicides (propineb, mancozeb, chlothalonil, and dithianon), were investigated with relative mycelial growth index to untreated control on PDA treated with field application rate of each fungicide. At response to carbendazim ($415{\mu}g/ml$) and thiophanate-methyl ($750{\mu}g/ml$), 82% and 78% of isolates showed relative mycelial growth index under 0.1 to untreated control, respectively. All of them did not grow on PDA incorporated with myclobutanil ($40{\mu}g/ml$) and tebuconazole ($75{\mu}g/ml$). Only one isolate (PER 36) grew on PDA amended with difenoconazole ($50{\mu}g/ml$), but its relative mycelial growth index to untreated control was very low with a values of 0.03. They were most sensitive to propineb ($1,500{\mu}g/ml$) among four protective fungicides.

Cobweb disease symptoms were observed in a mushroom farm in Buye, Korea during a disease survey in 2008-2011. Five isolates of Cladobotryum sp. were obtained from the infected caps and stipes. These isolates of Cladobotryum sp. were identified as C. mycophilum based on their morphological, cultural characteristics and analysis of the ITS sequences. Early symptoms were noticed as round, fleshy, yellowish brown lesions on mushroom caps. Late symptoms progressed when the parasitic fungus formed white cobweb circular colonies on dead or damaged pinheads, spread on the surface of the casing, and covered entirely fruiting bodies. Optimal temperature and pH for mycelial growth on MEA is $23^{\circ}C$ and 6.0. Microscopically the spores of the fungus are large and most 2~3 celled produced on vertically branched conidiophores. Mushroom caps turned dark brown and shrunk due to soft rot. Testing of sensitivity to selected fungicides showed that isolate was highly resistance to Mancozeb and Thiophanate-methyl, moderately sensitivity to Iprodione, and highly sensitivity to Benomyl, Prochloraz-Mn and Carbendazim.

Seven fungicides viz., salcylic acid, bacistin (Carbandazim 50% WP), bayleton (Triadimefon 25% WP), Dithane M-45 (Mancozeb 75% WP), captan (Captaf 50% WP) formaldehyde and benzoic acid at three concentrations (0.50,0.75 and 1.0%) and ten plant products viz., Hena leaf, garlic bulb, tomato leaf, mango bark, cotton leaf, turmeric powder, onion, tulsi leaf, neem leaf and ginger at 1.0,2.0 and 3.0% concentrations were screened against Aspergillus flavus and A. tamarii in vitro. Among fungicides, salcylic acid and bavistin and among plants Hena and Mango bark powder were found to be very effective at all concentrations tested. Based on in vitro screening, only selected six fungicides at 1.0, 1.5 and 2.(0% and six plants at 2.0,4.0 and 6.0% concentrations were tested in vivo for controlling Aspergillosis in silkworm. Salcylic acid and bavistin fungicides and Hena leaf powder and Mango bark powder have shown considerable effect in controlling Aspergillus infection in silkworm at all concentrations tested.

In order to establish an appropriate spray schedule to reduce the infection, 11 kinds of chemicals were tested for their properties on the inhibition of spore germination at the surface of apple fruits and the duration of the inhibitory effect after spray of each chemical was examined from late June to early September with basically 10 day intervals. Actual control efficacy of each chemical by the 8 successive spray and the patterns of waterborne spore dispersals during that periods were also examined. Combining those results with the meteorological observation data, actual control efficacy of each chemical in the given periods could be estimated. It was revealed that folpet, Brodeaux mixture, mancozeb, oxine copper and imminoctadine-triacetate could be used at any time during the possible infection periods. Captan and dithianon could also be used except the rainy season due to the short duration of inhibitory efficacy against spore germination under heavy rain. However, the usefulness of propineb, benomyl and chlorothalonil against the apple white rot could not be demonstrated in this experiment. Thiram, even though has not been used for apple white rot, can also be used before or after the rainy season to control not only white rot but also alternaria blotch.

Antibiotic activity of selected biocontrol agent Trichoderma harzianum ABGS-95 showed 59% to P. graminicola, 65% to P. aphanidermatum and 57% to Rhizoctonia solani compare to non-treated control. ABGC-95 showed resistant to major agrochemicals such as metalaxyl+mancozeb, etridiazole, propamocarb, toclofos methly, terbuconazole, pencycuron and flutolanil. The biocontrol agent T. harzianum ABGC-95 grew vigorously in low nutrient media and water agar. And sand mixture with wheat bran or mowing debris of zoysia grass also provided good growth of the organism. Application of sand mixture of Trichoderma spp. into aeration cores in golf showed most effective biocontrol of pythium blight. Top dressing application of T. harzianum ABGC-95 reached 83% control efficient while spray application of same biocontrol agent showed only 69% control. The biocontrol agent ABGC-95 successfully suppressed the population density of Pythium spp. in soil. The population density of total Pythium spp. in ABGC-95 treated soil was sustained almost same population at beginning(early May) up to end of August, while the population in untreated control plot was increased 5 times that of beginning and even 10 times in pathogen accumulated soil.

Blueberry, which produces phenolic compounds, is one of the most popular fruits in Korea. During a survey on blueberry diseases, 16 Colletotrichum isolates were obtained from blueberry leaves in Chuncheon and Gosung, Kangwon province, Korea. Using morphological and molecular analyses, the isolates were identified as Colletotrichum aenigma, C. fioriniae, C. fructicola, C. gloeosporioides, and C. nymphaeae. C. gloeosporioides was the most frequently isolated (11 isolates), and only one or two isolates of the other species were found. After inoculation with all isolates, those leaves and fruits with wounds easily developed anthracnose; whereas, fruits without wounds became infected but leaves without wounds were infected by only two of C. gloeosporioides. Typically, around seven fungicidal agents are used to control anthracnose on blueberries in Korea. Fluzinam and prochloraz manganese complex strongly (over than 80%) inhibited the growth of all Colletotrichum species, while dithianon and mancozeb only weakly (about 80% or less) inhibited their growth.

Eight fungicides including prochloraz, tebuconazole, benomyl, mancozeb, thiophanate-methyl, azoxystrobin, and fluazinam were examined for their control effects on Fusarium bulb and root rot of oriental orchid, Cymbidium goeringii. Among the chemicals, prochloraz and tebuconazole were the most effective on suppression of the causal pathogen, F. oxysporum in vitro and on control of the disease in vivo. Prochloraz and tebuconazole inhibited mycelial growth of the fungi 95~100% at 10ppm a.i. and microconidial germination 75~100% at 100ppm a.i. Prochloraz and tebuconazole showed 80~92% and 84~88% protective control value on the disease, respectively. However, curative effects on infected orchid were relatively low. Other chemicals showed no or lower than 20% curative and 50% protective control value. Results indicated that prochloraz and tebuconazole can be used for the control of the Fusarium bulb and root rot of oriental orchids. However, the chemicals need to be applied prior to the disease development to achieve successful control efficacy.

Four promising biocontrol agents against Phytophthora capsici were selected from 507 bacterial isolates collected from rhizosphere soils and roots of pepper plants. In vitro experiment, these four biocontrol agents inhibited mycelial growth, germination of cystospores, and formation of zoosporangia and zoospores of Phytophthora capsici. In the pot experiment, the four biocontrol agents showed control efficiency higher than 70%. In greenhouse experiment, the isolates G28-6 gave the control value of 79.4%. These four biocontrol agents successfully colonized in the population density beyond 105 cfu/g on roots of pepper in vitro. The isolates G28-6 was identified as Pseudomonas aurantiaca, based on its cultural, morphological, and biochemical characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.

Crude extracts from 20 species of plants 16 families were evaluated for their antifungal activities against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and three plant extracts of them were applied to Ginseng in order to investigate the usefulness for Ginseng anthracnose control. Among the crude extracts from 20 species being tested, it of A. cepa, R. undulatum and C. japonica showed considerably antifungal activity against mycelial growth and conidial germination of C. gloeosporioides.. Ginseng anthranose was controlled at 2% concentration of A. cepa and R. undulatum and 1% C. japonica extract, but control value of three plant extracts was inferior to Mancozeb WP. Phytotoxic symptoms were observed in the leaves of ginseng with exogenous foliage application of 10% concentration of three plant extracts and 2% concentration C. japonica extract but not observed at 1% concentration.

BACKGROUND: Dithiocarbamte fungicides have been used in crop cultivation for diseases protection and treatment. And cultivated agricultrual products were used as feedstuff, and residual pesticides are likely to be absorbed and transferred to livestock. But the maximum residue limits (MRLs) were not established for dithiocarbate fungicides in livestock products, and thus an analysis method was developed and validated for dithiocarbamate fungicides to establish MRLs. METHODS AND RESULTS: Samples were prepared using CS₂ trap method and detected with UV/VIS spectrophotometer. Calibration line (0.1 ~ 10 ㎍/mL) was linear with r² > 0.99. For validation, the recovery tests were carried out at three fortification levels (MLOQ, 10 MLOQ and 50 MLOQ) from livestock samples (egg, milk, beef, pork, and chicken). The results for mancozeb, propineb, and thiram ranged between 76.8 to 109.6%, 79.4 to 108.8%, and 80.2 to 107.8%, respectively and % RSD (relative standard deviation) values were below 9.5%. Furthermore, inter-laboratory analysis was performed to validate the method. CONCLUSION: All values were corresponded with the criteria ranges requested by both the CODEX (CAC/GL 40-1993, 2003) and MFDS guidelines (2016). This might be used as an official analytical method for determination of dithiocarbamate fungicides at established MRLs and monitoring.
