This experiment was carried out to investigate the stability of Dicofol solutions which were prepared with various organic solvents such as xylene, toluene, methylisobutyl ketone (M.I.B.K.), cyclohexanone, N.N.-dimetyl formamide (N.N.-D.M.F.) and isophorone under different temperature and storage period. The decomposition rate of Dicofol was increased in the order of cyclohexanone> N.N.-D.M.F.>W.P.>toluene, xylene, M.I.B.K. and isophorone. However, it was shown that precipitation was found in Dicofol solutions such as xylene, toluene and M.I..B.K. except isophorone. Therefore, isophorone was recognized as the best of organic solvents tested for Dicofol in the case of emulsifiable concentrate formulation with it.

These studies were conducted to investigate the development of chemical resistance in two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) through alternate selection for a given period of time with four acaricides including ethion of organophophours compound, dicofol of organo-chlorine compound, cyhexatin of organo-tin compound, and biphenthrin of synthetic pyrethroid compound; and to examine multiple-resistance among the acaricides to the selected populations. The development levels of chemical resistance in the two-spotted spider mite were greatly varied under alternate selection with the different chemical-group combination of four acaricides. Resistant levels of the ethion/dicofol-selected population at 13th-13th generation showed 49.4-fold resistance to ethion and 18.1-fold to dicofol; the ethion/cyhexatin-selected population at 9th-9th generation exhibited 28.1-fold to ethion and 5-fold to cyhexatin; the ethion/biphenthrin-selectd population at 10th-10th generation revealed 39.8-fold to ethion and 19.2-fold to biphenthrin. However, the dicofol/cyhexatin-selected population at 9th-9th generation showed 11.3-fold to dicofol and 4.9-fold to cyhexatin, and the dicofol/biphenthrin-selected population at 12th-12th generation exhibited 11.2-fold to dicofol and 9.4- fold to biphenthrin, while the cyhexatin/biphenthrin-selected population at 9th-9th generation revealed 3.7-fold to cyhexatin and 7.7-fold to biphenthrin. In case of alternate selection, the ehtion/dicofol-selected population revealed moderate multiple-resistance level to biphenthrin. The ethion/cyhexatin-selected and the ethion/biphenthrin-selected populations showed low mutiple-resistance level to biphenthrin and dicofol, respectively. However, the dicofol/cyhexatin-selected, the dicofol/biphenthrin-selected and the cyhexatin/biphenthrin-selected populations exhibited high multiple-resistance level to ethion.

Stability of resistance of the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) to dicofol was investigated. Resistance level (23.0-fold) of adult females to dicofol was kept up to 1 year without selection by dicofol, but was decreased to 15.8-, 10.7-fold after 2 and 3 years, respectively. Susceptibility of adult females obtained from reciprocal crosses $(R_{female}\timesS_{male},R_{male}\times S_{female})$ of the R and S stains to dicofol was declined by the success of generation.

These studies were conducted to investigate development of chemical resistance in two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) trough single selection for a given period of time with five acaricides including carbophenothion and ethion of organo-phosphate compound, dicofol of organo-chlorine compound, cyhexatin of organo-tin compound, biphenthrin of synthetic pyrethroid compound; and to examine cross-resistance among the acaricides to the selected populations. The development of chemical resistance of two-spotted spider mite was greatly varied under single selection of the each five acaricides. The carbophenothion- and the ethion-populations at the 22nd and the 24th selected generations showed 156- and 64.1-fold resistant levels, respectively, as compared with the susceptible population. However, the dicofol population at the 28th selected generation exhibited 39.7-fold resistant level, and the biphenthrin population at the 24th selected generation revealed 25.2-fold resistant level, while the cyhexatin population at the 20th selected generation showed 13-fold resistant level. The carbophenothion-selected population showed high cross-resistance to ethion, and low cross-resistance to dicofol and biphenthrin. The ethion-selected population revealed also high cross-resistance to carbophenothion. The dicofol-or the biphenthrin-selected populations, however, exhibited moderate cross-resistance to carbophenothion and ethion. Meantime, the cyhexatin-selected population showed high cross-resistance to ethion and carbophenothion.

In order to Investigate the adsorption characteristics of organochlorine pesticides chlorothaloul and dicofol with soul colors and re참tons far souls of an orange orchard, the souls were sampled at 3 re삼tons, respectively. among black volcanic, dark brown volcanic, and broom nonvolcanlc sorts. Every so6 has a higher clay proportion (49-75%) In sol tcuture and the organic carbon content and cation ekchange capacity with soil decreased in the following sequence: Black volcanic > Dark brown volcanic > Brown nonvolcanic sorts. Especially those In black volcauc trolls were much higher than others. The retention time, quantitative detection limit, and extractian , efficiencies of chlorothalonil and dicofol were 2.82min, 1.5ng/mL, 93.6% and 3.64min, 4.5ng/mL. 94 2%, repectlvely. The Freundlich constant, Kd, was higher in dicofol compared to chlorothalonil and In the black volcanic souls that have higher organic carbon content and cation Bkchange capacity. The Freundlich constant, 1 In, was In the range of 0.76-0.89 In the black volcanic sorts that have a higher organic matter(16.4-19.8%), whereas It was In the range of 1.02-1.13 In the brown nonvolcanic souls that have a lower organic matter(2.4-3.4%), and so It was considered that 1 In was dependent on the organic matter.

Genetic variability was monitored by random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) in dicofol-susceptible (S), dicofol-resistant (R) and its reverse-selected (RS) strains of two-spotted spider mite, of Tetranychus urticae. Before the reverse-selection, RS strain, selected reversely from R strain, was 23-fold resistance ratio at {TEX}$LC_{50}${/TEX} to S strain. The resistance was started to in incline slowly to the resistance level of S strain after one year, and the resistance ratio was 4-fold in the 7 years after then. PCR-amplification of T. urticae DNA showed polymorphism in the amplifications with 12 primers in 100 kinds of arbitrary DNA sequences. RAPD amplification with primer OPR-12 (5`-ACAGGTGCGT-3`) showed amplified bands at 1,000 base pair in the S-and RS-strain, and at 350 base pair in R-strain. The results of polymorphism are genetic variabilities derived from development and selection of resistance in each strain. The peculiarly amplified fragments were guessed to participate in dicofol resistance. From the analysis of genetic similarity, it is inferred the gene composition of S-and RS-strain is much closer than that of R-strain.

Dicofol susceptible two-spotted spider mite(S) which was selected by 150 times of dicofol treatment showed 27 5-fold increase in resistance as compared to S strain. Inheritance of resistance and crossresistance in selected strain($R_d$) were investigated. There were differences oi susceptibility in the dicofol concentmtion-moltaliity relationships between $F_1$ progenies (R♀, XS♂, R♂, XS♀) obtained from reciprocal cross with the S strain and $R_d$, strain. Degree of dominance of the $F_1$ progenies (R♀, XS♂, R♂, XS♀) were -0.29 and -0.72 in adult females and -0.42 and -0.93 in adult males, respectively. These results suggest that inheritance of dicofol resistance is controlled by an incomplete recessive. $R_d$ strain exhibited a high level of cross resistance to amitraz, and also showed cross resistance to pyrethrotd acaricides, acrinathrin and bifenthnn. $R_d$ strain showed non-cross reslstancz to abamectin, chlolfenson, clofentezine, cyhexatm, fenbutatin oxlde, fenpyroximate, hexythiazox, monocrotophos, propargite and tetradifon, but negatively correlated cross-resistance to azocyclotin and fenbutatin oxide belonging to tin acaricides.

Susceptibilies of tow-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) collected at 6 locations were assessed to 15 acaricides. The response to acaricides were almost similar in female adults and eggs. There were considerable difference in susceptibility depending on the acaricide treated and the region from which the population was collected. The population showing resistance ratio of more than 20 with respect to certain acaricide was regarded as a resistant population to the acaricide. The resistant populations in terms of female adult were as follows: Suwon population to azocyclotin, cyhexatin, and fenbutatin-oxide; Taejon population to dicofol and fenbutatin-oxide; Chongju population to dicofoll Chinju populatin to cyhexatin, dicofol, and fenbutatin-oxide. The resistant populations in terms of egg were as follows; Suwon population to bifenthrin, clofentezine, hexythiazox, and tetradifon; Kunwi, Chongju, and Kwangju populations to bifenthrin; Taejon population to amitraz and bifenthrin; Taejon populatin to amitraz and bifenthrin; Chinju population to amitraz, bifenthrin, clofentezine, dicofol, and tetradifon. However, the female adults and eggs of all field populations were susceptible to abamectin, chlorfenson, and fenpyroximate. This tendency was also reported previously in the susceptible strain from laboratory.

These sutdies were conducted to investigate the joint toxic action of mixtures of several acaricides including amitraz, bifenthrin, propargite, fenbutatin dxide and bxide dicofol to the field-collected strian of Tetranychus urticae. The synergistic action of acaricidal mixtures was greatly varied with the kind of acaricide combinations and their mixture ratios. The combinations of amitraz with each of the tested acaricides were synergized at the given mixture ratios. The higher synergistic action in the each combination was observed at 2 : 8 ratio of amitraz and bifenthrin, 8 : 2 ratio of amitraz and fenbutatin oxide, 4 : 6 ratio of amitraz and propargite and 6 : 4 ratio of amitraz and dicofol.

These studies were conducted to examine the mechanism of acaricidal resistance in the twospotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch). The resistant strains were obtained by succssive selection of five acaricides including carbonphenothion and ethion of organophosphorus compound, dicofol of organochlorine compound, cyhexatin of compound and biphenthrin of synthetic pyrethroid. Esterase isozymes were separated by polyacrlyamide gel susceptible strains. The differences of the esterase isozymes of the resistant strains were Est. 1, Est. 3 in the carbonphenothion-selected strain, Est. 3 in the ethion- and the cyhexatin-selected strains, Est. 1, Est. 3, Est. 7 in the dicofol-selected strain, Est. 7 in the biphenthrin-selected strain as compared to the susceptible strain. With the difference of electrophoretic bands and their activities, esterases were related to the resistant mechanism of tested acaricides.
