Mortality of some agro-forest insect pests, Agrotis segetum, Blitopertha orientalis, Agerastica coerulea, Glyphodes perspectalis and Acantholyda parki caused by entomopathogenic nematodes was investigated in laboratory and in pot. Steinernema carpocapsae All and Pocheon strain were effective against 2nd of 3rd instar larvae of A. segetum showing 100% mortalities at the concentration of 10Ijs/larva but not effective against 4th inster larvae. Mortality of B. orientalis was 100% after 26 days in H. bacteriopora NC 1, H. bacteriophora Hamyang and S. glageri NC strain treatment. S. monticulum also showed 100% mortalities against A. coerulea andd G. perspectalis at the concentration of 80 and 40 Ijs/larva. However, H. bacteriophora Cheju and S. glaseri Cheju strain were not effective against A. parki, i.e., showing 23.3 and 20.0% mortalities, respectively at the concentration of 160Ijs/larva. S. glaseri Hanrim strain was more effective than H. bacteriophora Cheju strain against Pryeria sinica.

The presence of Pleochaeta shiraiana associated with powdery mildew of Celtis sinensis in Korea is dubious, mainly due to incomplete records of earlier workers. To confirm the occurrence of the powdery mildew and the identity of the causal fungus, morphological characteristics of the anamorph and teleomorph from nine samples deposited in KUS (Herbarium in Korea University) were examined by light microscopy. Identification of the fungus was supported by comparing four ITS sequences from Korean samples with two Japanese data. This is the first confirmed report of the powdery mildew associated with P. shiraiana in Korea.

Methanol extracts of fruits of 67 plants were screened for in vivo antifungal activity against Magnaporthe grisea, Corticium sasaki, Botrytis cinerea, Phytophthora infestans, Puccinia recondita, and Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei. Among them, 13 plant extracts ($3,000\;{\mu}g/ml$) showed more than 90% disease-control efficacy against at least one of six plant diseases. Specifically, the extracts of Aleurites fordii, Angelica dahurica, Camellia japonica, Chamaecyparis pisifera, Pittosporum tobira, and Styrax japonica controlled more than 90% of the development of rice blast at $1,000{\mu}g/ml$. Extracts of both S. japonica and A. dahurica fruits at $333{\mu}g/ml$ concentration displayed strong antifungal activity against M. grisea on rice seedlings.

In Korea, mass mortality of Quercus mongolica trees has become obvious since 2004. Raffaelea quercus-mongolicae is believed to be a causal fungus contributing the mortality. To evaluate the pathogenicity of the fungus to the trees, the fungus was multiple- and single-inoculated to the seedlings and twigs of the mature trees, respectively. In both the inoculations, the fungus was reisolated from more than 50% of inoculated twigs and seedlings. In the single inoculations, proportions of the transverse area of non-conductive sapwood at inoculation points and vertical lengths of discoloration expanded from the points were significantly different between the inoculation treatment and the control. In the multiple inoculations, no mortality was confirmed among the seedlings examined. These results showed that R. quercus-mongolicae can colonize sapwood, contribute to sapwood discoloration and disrupt sap flows around inoculation sites of Q. mongolica, although the pathogenicity of the fungus was not proven.

Two new records of Scleroderma species from South Korea are described here. Comprehensive taxonomic studies of Scleroderma specimens were conducted at the Korea National Arboretum. Based on morphological and molecular data (fungal barcode sequences), two new records (S. laeve and S. nastii) were confirmed. Herein, morphological descriptions, including Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images of basidiospore ornamentation, and a taxonomic key of Korean Scleroderma species are provided.

This study was investigate to ecological characteristic of Trioza ukogi (shinji) on the Acanthopanax senticosus for. inermis Harms during 2004-2005 in Korea. The sizes of Trioza ukogi (shinji) were $0.40{\pm}0.03mm$ in eggs, $0.36{\pm}0.03mm$ in 1st instar nymphs, $2.50{\pm}0.25mm$ in mature nymphs and $5.17{\pm}0.28mm$ in adults (to tip of folded wings), respectively. T. ukogi has two generations per year. First generation appeared from mid-July to late August with peak in early August. Second generation appeared from mid-September to mid-October with peak in late September. Overwintering adults move to host tree and mate from the early April to late May with peak in late April. Overwintering female laid on the new leaves and first generation prefers to lay on the seeds. The number of ovarian eggs was 5$57.5{\pm}23$.
