The dissipation patters of the triazole fungicides flusilazole and myclobutanil in apples were investigated to establish the biological half-lives and pre-harvest residue limits (PHRLs). The residual amounts of the fungicides sprayed with single or triple doses were below the maximum residue limits (MRL) for apples established by Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. The dissipation constants of the fungicides in the apples were 0.0513 for flusilazole and 0.0244 for myclobutanil meaning their biological half-lives were calculated as 6.2-6.7 days for flusilazole and 13.3-24.8 days for myclobutanil. The PHRLs calculated using the dissipation constants indicated that the residual amounts of flusilazole and myclobutanil in the apples at the harvesting date would be below the MRLs if their residual amounts were 0.43 and 0.59 mg/kg, respectively, at 7 days prior to harvesting the apples.

Residue level of myclobutanil[2-p-chlorophenyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-trizol-l-yl-methyl) hexane nitril] and number of soil microorganism were investigated at different environmental conditions such as the sterile and the non-sterile soils, moisture content, pH, temperature, application rate, and soil types under laboratory and field to study the effect of those factors on degradation characteristics of this fungicide and change of microflora in soil. Decomposition rate of myclobutanil was 3.9 times faster in the non-sterile soil than in the sterile soil, 1.6 times in the field than in the laboratory, 1.4 times in the concentration of 10ppm than in that of 20ppm, and 1.2 times in the clay loam soil than in the silty loam soil. Degradation rate of myclobutanil was the fastest at pH 9.0 among the tested pHs and the latest at pH 5.5. Degradation rate of myclobutanil was in order of $27^{\circ}C$ > $37^{\circ}C$ > $17^{\circ}C$. Otherwise, the effect of soil water content on myclobutanil degradation was found not clear. Number of microorganism in the non-sterile soil was remarkedly more than that in the sterile soil. Numbers of microbes were not significantly different between treatment plot and non-treatment plot of myclobutanil at the different conditions of soil moisture content, pH, temperature and soil type. Numbers of fungi and total microbes were more in the treatment than in the non-treatment of myclobutanil at field test but the same trends were not found at laboratory test. Within non-treatment of myclobutanil, numbers of microbes were not significantly different under the various condition of pH, application rate, and soil type in laboratory and upland field. The number of bacteria were more in 60% moisture content of water holding capacity than in 40% and the number of fungi were more in $17^{\circ}C$ of soil temperature than in $37^{\circ}C$. Within the application plot of myclobutanil, numbers of microbes were not significantly different at various pH in laboratory and upland field. The number of bacteria and total microbes were more in 80% moisture content of water holding capacity than in 40% and 60% and actinomycetes were more at $27^{\circ}C$ in the clay loam soil than at $17^{\circ}C$ in the silty loam soil.

This study was carried out to isolate some bacterial strains which had potentiality of good degrader of fungicides from herbicide free soil and to clarify degradation of a fungicide mycrobutanyl[2-p-chlorophenyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ylmethyl)-hexanenitrile]. Ten strains of the gram-positive and the gram-negative bacteria were isolated and identified. Most of them vigorously proliferated at 55ppm of mycrobutanil, but the stains were not grown when more than 70ppm of this fungicide were treated Staphylococcus spp. I, Actinobacillus spp. III, and another I of the isolated bacteria degraded more than 35% of the treated mycrobutanil. These three strains could utilize mycrobutanil as nitrogen and carbon sources. Mycrobutanil was rapidly decomposed by these strains when applied once or three times. Tested bacteria gradually increased in growth when mycrobutanil was applied repeatedly. Degradation of mycrobutanil and growth of these bacteria were greater in pH 5.5, and they were high in the order of $28^{\circ}C$ > $18^{\circ}C$ > $38^{\circ}C$.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of triazole compounds [hexaconazole ($50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$), diniconazole ($50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$), myclobutanil ($150mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$), difenoconazole ($50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$), tebuconazole ($500mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$), and bitertanol ($50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$)] on commercial quality improvement of cut flowers of Dendranthema grandiflorum 'Baegkwang' Plant height, cut flower length and internode length decreased by all triazole compounds. Plant height, cut flower length, internode length and flower neck length were shortened by treatment of $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ diniconazole and $500mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ tebuconazole. Flower neck was thickened by hexaconazole and myclobutanil. Flower diameter increased with myclobutanil and bitertanol, while it decreased with tebuconazole. Among physiological injury, open center increased with bitertanol treatment. Overall $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ diniconazole and $500mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ tebuconazole showed a possitive effect on length flower neck and increasing chlorophyll content, while decreasing plant height, cut flower length and diameter of flowers. Thus it is necessary to consider kind, concentration, and treatment times for effective control of cut flower quality.

The effects of foliar spray and soil drench application of triazole chemicals (diniconazole, myclobutanil, difenoconazole, tebuconazole, bitertanol, hexaconazole) on growth and flowering control in zinnia were investigated. For foliar spray application of tebuconazole, diniconazole and bitertanol on 'Dream Land Rose', plant height was decreased but tebuconazole gave the best result for dwarfing. Diameter, fresh and dry weights of flower were markably decreased at high concentration of tebuconazole. However, days to flowering was not affected by chemicals tested. For 'Dream Land Scarlet', plant height was decreased with all chemical treatments. Tebuconazole severely decreased plant height, in particulas. Diniconazole hastened flowering. For soil drench of 'Dream Land Rose', plant height was decreased by diniconazole and mycrobutanil, but diniconazole was more effective for plant height decrease. Flowering was hastened by diniconazole in both 'Dream Land Rose' and 'Dream Land Scarlet'. Plant height of 'Dream Land Scarlet' was decreased by all chemicals tested. Flowering was not occurred at $300mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ myclobutanil with severe suppression of stem growth.

In 2008, 110 isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides were obtained from infected twigs of persimmon collected at Sangju and five fungicides (prochloraz manganese complex, tebuconazole, mancozeb+myclobutanil, fluquinconazole+prochloraz, and tebuconazole+tolyfluanid) were evaluated to determine their growth on fungicide-medium. Among them, the mycelial growth of 97.3 and 98.2% of isolates was inhibited over 91% in response to prochloraz ($250\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) and tebuconazole ($125\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$), respectively, compared to untreated control. In response to mancozeb+myclobutanil, fluquinconazole+prochloraz, and tebuconazole+tolyfluanid, isolates of 96.4, 99.1 and 96.4% of them were inhibited by fungicides, respectively. Isolates showed the highest sensitivity to fluquinconazole+prochloraz among 5 fungicides. The correlation between tebuconazole and tebuconazole+tolyfluanid was higher (r=0.85).

In this study, acute toxicity of four pesticides (diazinon, iprodione, fenproparthrin, and myclobutanil) to Chinese bleak, Aphyocypris chinensis, and to study their adverse effects were conducted in static systems. The 96-hr $LC_{50}$ values were determined, as well as 95% confidence limits. The 96-hr $LC_{50}$ values of these chemicals derived for Chinese bleak were rank ordered from the most toxic to the least toxic technicals as follows: Fenproparthrin (0.003 mg $L^{-1}$)>Myclobutanil (9.1 mg $L^{-1}$)>Diazinon (14.1 mg $L^{-1}$)>Iprodione (31.8 mg $L^{-1}$), The data presented in this study indicate the acute toxicity tests carried out on only one fish species may lead to erroneous determination of water quality criteria and classification of test chemicals for environmental management and regulatory purpose. Therefore, more studies comparing the susceptibility of a variety of fish species to various toxicants are needed.

This study was designed to use the safety management data for residual pesticides in imported banana based on the investigation of pesticide residue detection of agricultural products with different origins in the Republic of Korea. From the USA, EU, UK, Japan and Korea from 2007 to 2018, the results of banana residue pesticides were summarized into detected pesticides, number of inspections, number of pesticide detection cases, and the amount of detected pesticide residue. A total of 109 pesticides were detected for the pesticide residue and pesticide detection rate was 4.58% in 206,894 cases. The detection rate was ranged within 10.62-24.62% for chlorpyrifos, imazalil, methyl-bromide, azoxystrobin, carbendazim, pretilachlor and thiabendazole. Among them, chlorpyrifos was detected most often followed by imazalil, azoxystrobin, thiabendazole, bifenthrin and carbendazim. According to the results of monitoring data for bananas in EU, Japan, USA, UK and Korea, the kinds of detected pesticides were 85, 57, 23, 18 and 8, respectively. Azoxystrobin, bifenthrin and chloropyrifos were found in monitoring data of all countries. Fourteen and twelve pesticides were detected in bananas from Costa Rica and Ecuador, respectively. Imazalil and thiabendazole were detected in 16 and 11 origins, respectively. Myclobutanil and iprodione were detected in four and two countries, respectively. In bananas from Costa Rica, azoxystrobin and bifenthrin were detected 11.8 and 9.8%, respectively, and the detection rate of azoxystrobin was 19% in bananas from Colombia. Chlorpyrifos was detected 22.7, 13.3 and 10.8% in bananas from Belize, Colombia and Costa Rica respectively. Myclobutanil was detected in bananas from Colombia and Costa Rica with the rate of 17.9 and 10.4%, respectively.

Toxicities of 42 pesticides (13 acaricides, 13 insecticides, 13 fungicides and 3 adjuvants) commonly used to control rose insect, mite, and disease pests were evaluated to the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae egg and adult, and its predator Phytoseiulus persimilis egg, nymph and adult at the recommended concentration. The effect of density suppression of T urticae by predatory mite and pesticide mixture on the rose in the greenhouses was also investigated. Among 13 acaricides tested, acequinocyl, bifenazate, fenbutatin oxide and spirodiclofen showed much less toxicity to P. persimilis than to T urticae. Among insecticides, acetamiprid, imidacloprid, spinosad, thiamethoxam and acetamiprid＋etofenprox showed low toxicity to P. persimilis. and T ruticae. Among 13 fungicides, azoxystrobin, kresoxim-methyl, myclobutanil, nuarimol, triadimefon, triflumizole and oxadixyl＋mancozeb had a negligible effect on P. persimilis and T. urticae. Among three adjuvants, cover and siloxane expressed high toxicity, while spreader showed very low toxicity to P. Persimilis. In the greenhouses experiments, the density of T urticae before treatment was 65.3 mites per leaf. However, their density after release about 30 predatory mites per rose abruptly decreased from 3.8 mites at 11th day to zero mite at 20th day. During survey periods, four treatments of fungicides (kresoxim-methyl, myclobutanil, nuarimol, triflumizole) for the control of Sphaerotheca pannosa and one treatment of insecticide (spinosad) the control of Frankliniella occidentalis were applied, and these treatments had no the pesticides had no effect on the predatory mite density. It may be suggested from these results that four acaricides, five insecticides, seven fungicides, and one adjuvant could be incorporated into the integrated T. urticae management system with P. persimilis on rose cultivation.
