To develop an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of the residues of the acaricide fenazaquin, five haptens were synthesized and assessed. A competitive indirect format was used with polyclonal antibodies. Under an optimized condition using the selected rabbit C antiserum, an $IC_{50}$ of $96.97\;ng{\cdot}ml^{-1}$, the detection range of $14.9{\sim}631\;ng{\cdot}ml^{-1}$, and the lowest detection limit of $8\;ng{\cdot}ml^{-1}$ were obtained. Some structurally related compounds of practical use showed low crossreactivities to the antibody. Highest cross-reactivity observed with hapten IV indicates that the antiserum C recognizes very well quinazoline ring, 4-tert-butylphenyl, and an adequate length of spacer arm. The length of spacer arm affected recognition of quinazoline ring and 4-tert-butylphenyl moieties. When applied to apple and pear, recoveries were within acceptable ranges of $93.18{\sim}104.77%$ (n = 4) and $79.40{\sim}111.95%$ (n = 4), respectively.

Tomato russet mite, Aculops lycopersici Massee (Acari. Eriophyidae) was recorded in Korea and their SEM observations, distribution, host range, development on different temperature, and chemical control method were studied. Tomato russet mite is a microscopic animal (134.9 $\mu\textrm{m}$) with 2 pairs of legs which had 4 rays of feathered craw. Infected leaf turn reddish brown, stem loss hair, become shiny or surface cross-cracked, and shoot wilted or shrunk. Surface of fruit around fruit stalk appeared rusted or cross-cracked. It was found in glass greenhouse at Buyeo and Yuseong in Chungnam Province, Pyeongchang in Gangwon Province, and Chilgok and Guryongpo in Gyeongbuk Province. Convolvulus, black nightshade, chinese lanternplant, eggp1ant, morning glory, petunia, potato, pepper, tobacco and tomato were confirmed as a host plant in inoculation test. It could develop at temperature around $15-30^{\circ}C$, it took 6-11 days from eggs to adult, higher temperature shorten its life cycle. Female lived longer than male and it lived as long as 12 days at 25-28"C. Among acaricides tested, fenazaquin and cypermethrin were most effective.tive.

A multiresidue analytical method was developed for eight acaricides including benzoximate, clofentezine, fenazaquin, fenothiocarb, fenpyroximate, hexythiazox, pyridaben, and tebufenpyrad in four major fruits using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). All the confounds were extracted with acetone from apple, pear, grape, and citrus samples. The extract was diluted with saline water, and n-heaxane partition was followed to recover the acaricides. Florisil column chromatography was employed to further purify the sample extract. HPLC with ultraviolet absorption detection, using an octadecylsilyl column under the isocratic mobile phase of acetonitrile/water mixture, was successfully applied to separate and quantitate all the compounds in the purified extract. Recoveries of the eight acaricides from for fortified samples ranged 86.4~97.0%. Relative standard deviations of the analytical method were all less than 10%. Detection limits of the method were in the range of 0.02~0.05 mg/kg. The proposed method was reproducible and sensitive enough to evaluate the terminal residue of the eight acaricides in the fruit harvest.

Two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae was collected from the rose greenhouse in Chilgok, Gyeongbuk Province in December 2000. This population has been selected for ten years with bifenazate (over 450 times), and increased 855.9 fold in resistance as compared with susceptible strain (S). Cross resistance of bifenazate resistant (BR) strain to eight miticides was investigated. The BR strain exhibited high and low cross resistance to acequinocyl (614.0 fold) and to chlorfenapyr (9.1 fold), respectively. Against fenazaquin (0.3 fold) and fenpyroximate (0.1 fold), however, showed the strain negatively correlated cross resistance. Each strain collected in Choeng-ju (CJ), Kang-jin (KJ), and Chung-ju (CUJ) showed 5.5-, 964.5-, and 21.8-fold resistance to bifenazate, respectively. The detoxifying enzymes of the BR strain showed 1.6-fold activity in cytochrome $P_{450}$-dependent monooxygenase ($P_{450}$) as compared with susceptible one. By comparing the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) sequence, G126S point mutation was detected in the BR and KJ strains.

A field colony of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, was selected with tetradifon for 4 mousing whole-plant residual method. This strain showed 371-fold resistance to tetradifon. The log dosehatchability lines of $F_{1}$ eggs(RS cross; Td5female$\times$Smale, and SR cross; Sfemale$\times$Td5male) were closer to the line of the resistant colony than to that of the susceptible. These differences could be due to cytoplasmic inheritance or maternal effect. The estimate of dominance index (D) for the $F_{1}$ eggs of RS cross was 0.998 and that for $F_{1}$ eggs of SR cross was 0.262. This indicates that tetradifon resistance is completely dominant in RS cross and incompletely dominant in SR cross. Td5 strain exhibited high levels of resistance to clofentezine, benzoximate, and chlorfencon, and no cross resistance to fenazaquin, pyridaben, flufenoxuron, tebufenpyrad, and fenothiocarb.

The fungus gnat, Bradysia difformis, damages various crops in greenhouses and is recognized as an important pest around the world. Additionally, in the future, many other greenhouse crops will be added to the list of crops damaged by the fungus gnat. In this study, to find effective control methods for the fungus gnat, the insecticidal effect of 20 chemical synthetic insecticides was tested with the potato disc and pot treatment methods; additionally, the control effect of 16 strains of B. thuringiensis was examined with the potato disk method. The fungus gnat larvae were treated for 2 days with each of the synthetic insecticides to determine insecticidal effect using the potato disc method. The results were as follows. Among the highly insecticidal active pesticides, chlorfenapyr exhibited a 100% insecticidal activity, and fenazaquin, acetamiprid, dinotefuran, fenthion and thiamethoxam exhibited more than a 90% insecticidal activity. For the pot treatment method, chlorfenapyr exhibited a 3.3% insecticidal effect, and thiamethoxam, acetamiprid, dinotefuran, fenthion, etc. exhibited an insecticidal effect of less than 10% of the emergence rate to adult fungus gnat after 14 days of treatment. To select the B. thuringiensis strains that have an insecticidal effect on the fungus gnat, 16 strains were biologically assayed using the potato disc method. Among the 16 strains, Bt-3, Bt-8 and Bt-13 had more than a 70% insecticidal effect. The $LC_{50}$ and $LC_{95}$ values of Bt-3, Bt-8 and Bt-13 were $3.7{\times}10^5$ and $4.7{\times}10^8cfu/ml$, $1.4{\times}10^5$ and $1.1{\times}10^7cfu/ml$, and $1.4{\times}10^5$ and $1.3{\times}10^7cfu/ml$, respectively.
