  • Lysobacter antibioticus HS124 was isolated from rhizosphere soil in previous experiments, which produced lytic enzymes such as chitinase, gelatinase, lipase and protease. In addition, HS124 released an antibiotic compound, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (4-HPAA). When larvae of P. xylostella was treated with HS124 culture broth, its body was destroyed, and degraded with the increase of incubation time, yielding glycine which was detected from HS124 culture broth. When 4-HPAA produced from HS124 was sprayed, larvae mortality increased with increasing concentration of 4-HPAA. When HS124 culture supplemented with Tween 80 was sprayed, its insecticidal activity against larvae was approximately 1.4 times higher compared to the culture without Tween 80. Insecticide (IS), HS124 culture broth (HS124), Magic-pi (MP) and HS124 culture broth+Magic-pi (HS124+MP) were each treated against larvae of P. xylostella to investigate their insecticidal effect where sterile diluted water (SDW) was used as a control. The highest mortality of larvae was found in HS124+MP, followed by IS, MP, HS124 and SDW respectively. Mortality of larvae in HS124 was 31% higher than that in SDW, but 41% lower than that in HS124+MP, meaning that both enzymes and antibiotics produced from HS124 may synergistically act as active agents with plant extract containing neem oil and turmeric in HS124+MP treatment. These results suggested that L. antibioticus HS124 together with plant extract can be one of candidates for biocontrol agents against Plutella xylostella.

  • A diverse kind of environment-friendly agricultural materials(EFAM) for the control of insect pests is on the market. These EFAMs are a part of essential sources for the accomplishment of successful, sustainable, and environment-friendly agriculture. Thus, accurate information of these EFAMs is one that required for the success of environment-friendly agriculture, but, in reality, still appropriate information is absolutely in shortage. In this study, we, therefore, tested the efficacy of commercial EFAMs against two lepidopteran insect larvae, the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella(Lepidoptera: plutellidae) and the tobacco cutworm Spodoptera litura(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). After the two insect pests were successfully stabilized in indoor environment the larvicidal activity was tested at $24{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, relative humidity(RH) of $60{\pm}5%$, and a photoperiod of 16L:8D, and mortality was determined 48 hrs after EFAMs are treated. The EFAMs that showed more than 90% of larvicidal activity were each six among 16 against both P. xylostella and S. litura and only three of them showed consistent larvicidal activity against both species, signifying species specificity of EFAMs and importance of selection of proper EFAMs depending on target insect pest.

  • Reproductive incompatibility is an Important factor to select a specific biologlcal control agent for successful augmentation of the corresponding endogenous population. An endoparasitoid, Cotesia plutellae (Kurdjumov), is an effective control agent to diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) and has been known to be classified into two groups in terms of reproductive incompatibility. This study analyzed an Korean population of C. plutellae in terms of morphological characters and mitochondrial DNA marker, which did not match with either of two reproductive incompatibility groups. These results suggest that a Korean population of C. plutellae can be involved in a novel reproductive group. For any augmentation program of C. plutellae in Korea, reproductive incompatibility should be seriously considered to select a particular exotic population.

  • The mode of inheritance of resistance to fenvalerate in the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L.) was studied using insecticide susceptibility and mixed function oxidase tests. Tehre were no differences in the concentration-mortality relationships between $F_1$ progenies $(S_{female}\timesR_{male},\;R_{female}\timesS_{male})$ obtained from reciprocal crosses with the susceptible and fenvalerate-selected strains(R), indicating the absence of sex-linked inheritance. Degree of dominance of the $F_1$ progenies $(S_{female}\timesR_{male},\;R_{female}\timesS_{male})$ were -0.50 and -0.46, respectively, in the insecticide susceptibility test and -0.85 and -0.81, respectively, in the mixed function oxidase test. These results suggest that inheritance of fenvalerate resistance is controlled by and incompletely recessive autosomal gene.

  • Inter-regional difference in median lethal concentration of Bacillus thuringiensis diamondback moth was disclosed to be high. Pyungchang strain showed at most 41 times resistance compared to KN-IA strain of which $LC_{50}$ value was 5.5 ppm. and Oksan strain Showed 11 times resistance. The JMC strain, susceptible to pyrethroids, also showed 12 times resistance against B.T., suggesting difference in resistance mechanism between pyrethroid and B.t.

  • The methanol extracts from 30 species of oriental medicinal plants belonging to 24 families were tested for their lhicidal and antifeeding activit~es against diamondback moth (Plutello xylostella L) and tobacco cutworn (Spodoptera litura F.) by a leaf-dipping method at a concentration of 5, 000 ppm. The methanol extract from Copti chinensis only showed a potent larvicidal activity against P xylostello. Strong antifeeding activity against P. xylostello was observed from the extmds from Platycodon grandiflorurn, Codonopsis pilosula, Asomm sieboldii, Rhus chinensis and Uthospermum erythrorhizon And a potent antifeeding activity against S. liturn was obtained from Akebia quinata and Equlsetum hyemale extracts. A significant antifeeding activity against both species was obtained from R chinensis and C. chinensis extracts.

  • Seven organophosphorus compounds and three carbamates of some monoterpenoids were synthesized and tested for insecticidal activity to five insects, brown plant happer (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens), green peach aphid (GPA, Myzus persicae), diamond bark moth (DBM, Plutella xylostella), tobacco cut worm (TCW, Spodoptera litura), and two spotted spider mite (TSSM, Tetranychus urticae). With the administration of 500 mg/l concentration thiophosphates of carveol and geraniol showed motality of from 95% to 100% to BPH and DBM. On the other hand, phosphates of menthol, thymol, and borneol had also good to moderate activity to BPH and TSSM insects at the same concentration.

  • The diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L.) was selected over 24 generations with fenvalerate. The resulting resistant strain was tested to study development of insecticide resistance and cross resistance to some insecticides in the laboratory. Insecticide resistance of diamondback moth at the 24th generation devleoped 66.2 fold compared to the parent strain for fenvalerate. The fenvalerate selected strain exhibited 145 fold, a high level of cross resistance to deltamethrin, and also showed 17.4-45.0 fold cross resistance to alphamethrin, cypermethrin, fenvalerate, permethrin, and tetramethrin in the pyrethroid insecticides. The fenvalerate selected strain showed 2.5-4.3 fold, low cross resistance to diazinon, dichlorvos, EPN, BPMC, cabaryl, and methomyl. However, it did not show cross resistance to acephate, fenitrothion, phenthoate, and carbofuran.

  • Methanol extracts from 45 species of oriental medicinal plants belonging to 17 families were subjected to a screening test for their larvicidal and antifeeding activities against two species of lepidopteran larvae, diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L.) and tobacco cutworm (Spodoptera litura F.) by a leaf-dipping method. At a concentration of 8,000 ppm, methanol extract of Corydalis turrschaninovii roots only was found to have potent larvicidal activity against S. litura. At 5,000 ppm, strong antifeeding activity against both larvae was observed from the extracts of Clerodendron trichotomum, C. trichotomum var. esculentum, Inura helenium, Arctium lappa, Artemisia messerschmidtiana, Anthriscus sylvestris, Angelica dahurica, and C. turrschaninovii.
