It has been documented that the resistance to planthoppers is attributed to the feeding preference of the insects. This might be related to difference in the amount of feeding plant sap between resistant and susceptible hosts. In this aspect, this study was conducted to verify it and to develop an effective screening method for resistance to planthoppers by tracer technique. An effective P-32 labelling of rice seedlings at $2\~3$ leaf stage was dipping the roots in concentration of $0.1{\mu}Ci/ml$ solution for 48 hours. Radioactivity was significantly higher in planthopers fed on susceptible variety for 48 hours as compared to those fed on resistant variety. Radioactivity of adults was higher than that of nymphs and also higher in female than male. The results were highly correlated to that indicated by the feeding preference of the insects and therefore, considered to be valid for a screening technique.

To obtain informations on the development of the combined granular pesticides for the simultaneous control of rice insect pests and diseases which often occur at the same time or in overlapping experiments were carried out on twelve mixture pesticides of granular type formulated by extrusion method with two fungicides and three insecticides. Each of 12 mixtures was tested for physico-chemical properties and efficacy against to rice leaf blast and brown planthoppers under the laboratory conditions. All of the mixture pesticides showed acceptable physico chemical properties as granular formulation. Most of the compounds in mixture pesticides showed a tendency to have lower stabilities than those of pesticide alone, therefore, it was necessary to add stabilizer in formulation process. Isoprothiolane combinations were found very effective against leaf blast but their control effects were similar to that of isoprothiolane alone due to its high efficacy, while probenazole-carbofuran combinations showed synergistic effects for the control of leaf blast. All of the combinations showed synergistic effects to brown planthoppers. But fenthion and 3% propoxur combinations resulted comparatively low efficacies. In the consideration of their physico-chemical properties and efficacies to rice pests, carbofuran and 6% propoxur combinations were promising combined granular pesticides for the simultaneous control of leaf blast and brown planthoppers, while fenthion and 3% propoxur combinations were not available because of their low efficacies for brown planthoppers.

The local variabilities of resistance to Malathion and NAC (Sevin) were studied during 1973 with the strains of small brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus Fallen) collected from Jinjoo, Sunsan, Milyang, Kwangjoo and Iri districts of southern part of Korea. The susceptible lab strain used for this study has been reared successively in the laboratory without exposure to any insecticide since 1970. The insecticides were applied topically in acetone to the thoracic sternum of the adult insects. $LD_{50}$ values of Malathion to the insect were varied with the locality of the planthoppers. Relatively high levels of resistance to Malathion were observed in the strains of Jinjoo and Suntan; showing 27.7 times in female and 24.9 times in male for Jinjoo stram and 18.4 times in female and 13.8 times in male for Sunsan strain as compared with the susceptible lab strain, and in other strains of Milyang, Kwangjoo and Iri the levels of resistance to Malathion were still less than 5 times. However, there was no any specific difference among the strains in susceptibility to NAC. The malathion-resistant strain of the small brown planthopper seemed to be still localized in some regions of· Korea. The susceptibility of the planthoppers to Malathion was varied with the sex; $LD_{50}$ values based on the individual (ug/insect) were higher in female than in male, while the values based on the body weight (ug/g) conversely higher in male than in female.

The mymarids egg parasite of rice planthopper, Anagrus nr. flaveolus, were investigated to know their parasitic activities after overwitering in the paddy banks and barley fields, their host preferences and seasonal variations in the pesticide sprayed and unsprayed paddy fields of Gyeongnam province O.R.D. at Jinju from 1977 to 1979. The parasitic activities of Anagrus nr. flaveolus after overwintering in the paddy banks were high early in April and tended to decrease remarkably since mid-April by moving to the barley fields. The parasitic rate of Anagrus nr. flavelous was $47.2\~88\%$ between middle and late in April, the peak of egg deposition period. Anagrus nr. flaveolus parasitized Laodelphax striatellus, Nilaparvata lugens, and Sogatella furcifera, but didn't attack the eggs of Nephotettix cincticeps in the paddy fields. High preference was observed with Laodelphax steriatellus. The parasitic activities of Anagrus nr. flaveolus in the pesticide sprayed paddy fields were high in early July and from late August to early September. The parasitic rate in the pesticide unsprayed fields were higher than those of sprayed fields during the pesticide spraying period, from July to August and parasitic activities were active from October to before coming winter.

Among over-wintering small brown planthoppers, population of the rice stripe virus (RSV)-viruliferous insects was surveyed throughout the country in late April of 2003 by using DAS-ELISA. Averaged population of the RSV-viruliferous insects in this year was 2.1％, which was lower than that of last year of 3.7％. However, the insect population in Seoul, Incheon and Kyeonggi areas were relatively high showing 6.7％, 6.2％ and 2.6％, respectively. Based on the survey results, it was expected that overall occurrence of RSV on rice could be decreased in this year, except certain areas. Ovarial transmission rate of RSV by the insects on diseased rice samples collected from 10 areas ranged from 22.2％ to 77.8％. Among 35 graminous weed species collected from rice fields in Ganghwa and Kimpo in 2002 and 2003, common reed and formosens were found to be infected by RSV. The result indicates that those weeds are potential alternative natural hosts of the RSV Further studies on ecological and pathological impacts of the alternative natural host of RSV are being processed.

The effects of three different irrigating water qualities(clean water, life sewage and animal sewage) on the pattern of arthropod communities in the rice fields were investigated at Banwol, Kyonggi-do, mid-western part of Korea from 1994 to 1996. The total density of arthropod was highest in the rice field which was irrigated with clean water(clean water field), and the arthropod community was mainly composed of aphids and collembolans. Each functional group was found in the order of 'pests>non-pests>natural enemies' in its density. The dominant taxa in the pest group were aphids, planthoppers(Delphacidae), leafhoppers(Cicadelidae) and rice water weevil(L. oryzophilus). In the non-pest group collembolans, non-biting midges and dipterans were main arthropods, and in the natural enemy group Araneae was the dominant taxon. In the early growth stage of rice plant the dominant functional group was pests, and in the mid growth stage both the pest and the natural enemy group became dominant. But in the late growth stage none of the functional group was dominant over the other functional groups. The densities of spiders were much more higher in the clean water field than in the other fields. And through all the growth stages of rice plants the density of spiders in clean water field kept increase in contrast to the others. The species composition of spiders in the life sewage field was similar to that in the animal sewage field, but in the clean water field it was different from the other two fields.

Number of small brown planthoppers, Laodelphax striatellus(F.) negatively correlated with the mean temperature of March in Korea. The low temperature of March delayed the barley growth, heading date, and maturity. Thereby, was small brown planthopper was given a good condition to feed barley, and caused abundant occurence in 1984. In addition, it was possible to predict the occurence ot small brown planthopper by quadractice equations.

Since the outbreak of the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) in 1915 caused tremendous losses in rice production, one of the more effective method of prevention of such a disaster could be the establishment of longterm forecasting system, In 1916 the author indicated there was a correlation between sunspot activities and brown planthopper and the white back planthopper outbreaks. However, the examples seem to be too small size to state a definite correlation. The purpose of the present study IS to revi~w the history of the brown planthopper outbreaks, and to establish a more effective forcasting system. The present forcasting methods are based on light trap catches of adults which already migrate into this country from mainland China. The regular cycle of 11.2 years of sunspot activity began in 1710, and was continued to present. To gather more records of brown planthopper, the author checked 'Joseon Wangjo Silrok' and analized the so-called 'Hwang' 'Hwang-chung' and 'Chung' which have multiple meanings, together with 'Samguk Sagi' 'Goryo Sa' and 'Munheon Bigo.' The results obtained by the about from review of these old literature citations revealed that ten species of insect and unknown species were involved: i. e., pine moth (Dendrolimus spectabilis), army worm (Mythimna separata), brown planthopper (Nilarvata lugens), white-back planthopper (Sogatella furcifera), migratory locust (Locutsa migratoria), rice stem borer (Chilo suppressalis,), mole cricket (Gryllotalpa africana), rice-plant weevil (Echinocnemus squameus), cut worm (Euxoa segetum), and mulberry pyralid Margaronia pyloalis) The suspected incidence of planthopper in old records expressed by 'Hwang' or 'Chung' revealed a total or 25 out of 37 in 'Samguk sagi,' 21 out of 49 in 'Goryo sa,' 9 of 73 in 'Wanjo-silrog,' and none of 8 in 'Munheon bigo' were planthoppers. Therefore, a total of 36 out of 167 records of insect incidence in the old literature can be possibly attributed to planthoppers. The brown planthopper and white-back planthopper migrate together to Korea every year from mainland China, However, the number of each species are differ by year. In 1975 outbreak the brown planthopper was dominant; and the white-back planthopper prevailed in 1946 and 1977 outbreaks, During the course of this study, the author was able to add a new record of outbreak of planthop per. In 1916 the white-back planthopper outbreak caused serious losses in Chungcheong-namdo and Jeonla-namdo, with losses estimated as high as 160 and 190 thousand seok (23.2 and 27.5 thousand M/T), in Naju and Secheon county, respectively. Since 1912, major outbreaks of brown planthopper or white-back planthopper have been recored 5 times. These occurrences coincide and well matched the period of minimum number of sunspots, With these authenticated records of planthoppers, the author believes there is a close correlation between brown planthopper and white-back planthopper outbreaks in Korea and sunspot activities. Therefore, in years of low number of sunspots, we should watch for and expect outbreaks of these. insects. At this time, it will be necessary to provide all possible prevention measures.
