Among the developed bio-degradable polymer films as compared with transparent film(White), black polymer film was significantly more effective for controlling weeds in red pepper. Also, we found that white and black polymer mulching had 81.8% and 97.9% of managing weed controlling effects in rice, respectively. Compared to non-mulched rice paddy with water supply, the non-mulched rice paddy without any water supply has stopped its growth at 41 days after transplanting, while polymer-mulched rice paddy without water supply had about 60% of normally growing rice plants. This shows the polymer treatment has a remarkable effect on water and power saving, solution of herbicidal resistance, avoidance of herbicidal influence to eco-system etc. When the naturally decomposing polymer was used, a temperature was elevated as high as $4.7^{\circ}C$ on maximum and $2.6^{\circ}C$ on average. Also the naturally decomposing polymer accelerated rooting by 7 days and lowered a stress level from transplanting. The weed control effect mulched by polymer was remarkable as 98.7%. The polymer now, after 294 days treated on the rice paddy, has been completely decomposed.

Control effects of phosphorous acid were investigated on Phytophthora blight of red pepper plants in greenhouse and field. In vitro test, the mycelial growth of Phytophthora capsici was inhibited by the phosphorous acid more than 97% at 1,000 ${\mu}g$ and 10,000 ${\mu}g$ a.i./mL in the liquid and solid culture, respectively. At concentration of 10 ${\mu}g$ a.i./mL of phosphorous acid, in the liquid culture the mycelial growth of P. capsici was inhibited 46.2%, however inhibited only 4.9% on the soild culture. Zoosporangial formation was also inhibited 89.1% by phosphorous acid at 100 ${\mu}g$ a.i./mL. Phosphorous acid affected more zoosporangial formation of P. capsici than its mycelial growth. At the concentrations of 10,000, 1,000 and 100 ${\mu}g$ a.i./mL of phosphorous acid, germination of zoosporangia was inhibited 100, 84.3 and 44.2%, respectively. Mycelial growth and zoosporangial formation of P. capsici were little affected at the concentration of 10 ${\mu}g$ a.i./mL of phosphorous acid. Cermination of zoosporangia was also little affected at this concentration, however growth of the germ tubes was inhibited and the abnormal mycelial growth was observed. Phosphorous acid suppressed the incidence of Phytophthora blight of red pepper plants up to $77.0{\sim}62.0%$, in greenhouse. Phosphorous acid suppressed the incidence of Phytophthora blight of red pepper plants up to 54.0% at the conventional culture in field. Treatments of phosphorous acid increased up to 113% in height, 135% in number of fruit, and 129% in weight of fruit.

This study was conducted to determine the impact of elevated temperature in growing season on the growth and fruit quality of red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) by cultivating pepper in the temperature gradient tunnels. Plant height, stem diameter, leaf number and total leaf area, fresh weight and dry weight increased at ambient $+2^{\circ}C$ temperature, whereas each leaf area decreased as temperature increased. The plants grown under ambient $+2^{\circ}C$ temperature showed the greatest number of flower and fruit. Fruit weight, fruit length and fruit diameter decreased as the temperature increasing gradually. Total fruit number, total fruit weight and total dry fruit weight was the highest at ambient $+2^{\circ}C$ temperature. Major free sugars of red pepper fruit were fructose and glucose. Free sugar content of red pepper according to the differences in harvesting times and in growth temperature showed a little differences. The yield of red pepper fruit at ambient $+2^{\circ}C$ temperature increased by 13% compared with the control. However, the yield of red pepper fruit at ambient $+4^{\circ}C$ temperature decreased by 20% as compared to control. Non-marketable fruits (diseased fruit, malformed fruit and small sized fruit) increased as the temperature rised.

A comparative study was performed in gnotobiotic and greenhouse conditions to evaluate the effect of exogenous application of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and inoculation of Methylobacterium spp. possessing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACCD) and IAA activity on red pepperand tomato seedling growth and development. Application of 1.0 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ IAA positively influenced root growth while high concentrations (>10.0 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$) suppressed root growth of red pepper and tomato under gnotobiotic condition. On the other hand, inoculation of Methylobacterium strains with ACCD activity and IAA or without IAA enhanced root growth in both plants. Similarly, under greenhouse condition the inoculation of Methylobacterium sp. with ACCD activity and IAA enhanced plant fitness recorded as average nodal length and specific leaf weight (SLW) but the effect is comparable with the application of low concentrations of IAA. Seedling length was significantly increased by Methylobacterium strains while total biomass was enhanced by Methylobacterium spp. and exogenous applications of < 10.0 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ IAA. High concentrations of IAA retard biomass accumulation in red pepper and tomato. These results confirm that bacterial strains with plant growth promoting characters such as IAA and ACCD have characteristic effects on different aspects of growth of red pepper and tomato seedlings which is comparable or better than exogenous applications of synthetic IAA.

Each of 103 isolates of Phytophthora capsici was obtained from diseased red pepper plants randomly belonged to either the mating type $A_1$ or the mating type $A_2$. Fifty four isolates were classified as mating type $A_1$, and 49 isolates were classified as mating type $A_2$.Oospores were formed in each combination of isolates between $A_1$ or $A_2$ on 5% V-8 juice agar except one combination.

Composition of fungal communities in three microhabitats such as soil, rhizosphere and rhizoplane were studied to understand the root environment of healthy and diseased plants in Phytophthora non-infested and infested fields, respectively. Samples were collected from the tomato- and red pepper-growing greenhouses in Kyungsang-Nam Province on April, 1999. Twenty-five species were isolated from each vegetation field using the dilution plate technique. There were a greater variety of species in infested fields than non-infested and in soils than in both rhizospheres and rhizoplanes. The number of species isolated were varied amongst the different microhabitats. A Trichoderma species was isolated only from non-infested fields.

For the screening of biocontrol agents against red-pepper anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz) 248 isolates of bacteria, 51 of fungi and 30 of yeasts were obtained from phyllospere of medicinal plants. Of isolated microorganisms, four bacterial isolates, KB6, KB12, KB13 and KB14 were highly antagonistic to C. gloeosporioides than the others through dual culture test on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Among the four bacterial isolates, culture filtrate of the isolate KB12 showed the highest inhibition of C. gloeosporioides on PDA. The culture filtrates of four isolates controlled anthracnose on the red fruits, but not on the green fruits. In the living bacterial cell test, high control effect was observed both on the red and the green fruits. In the biochemical test, all isolates were identified as Bacillus subtilis.

Biological and serological assays were conducted with overwintered roots of tobacco and red pepper, capsule of tobacco, and several species of weeds in order to check whether those tissue could serve as a natural source of effection of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) to field tobacco plants in the spring. Also in this study TMV occurrence was surveyed at several different stages of tobacco growth to see if a natural source discussed above has anything to do with actual appearance of TMV at fields. The results are as follows 1) The most critical period for TMV infection was the time when tobacco plants were handled with human hands; in the case of the modified polyethylene film mulching system it was at transplantation and when this modified system was changed to the regular system, and, in the case of the regular polyethylene film mulching system, the time was at transplanting and at primary sucker control by hands. 2) Roots of tobacco and red pepper were found to carry infective TMV even after overwintering in the soil. 3) Out of 38 weed species belonging to 22 families examined, only two species, Solanum nigrum and Physalis alkekengi var. franchetii were shown to be naturally infected with TMV. 4) TMV was isolated from capsule tissue, but not from immature anther of tobacco.
