In order to know the residual pattern of pesticides and predict to the degradation period until below MRL, we experimented diazinon, iprodinon and chlorfenapyr for shallot. They were the most detected pesticide in shallot by NAQS (National Agricultural product Quality management Service) survey. In this experiment, we sprayed those pesticides 15days before harvest and analyzed 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14 day sample to establish logical equation and to calculate $DT_{50}$. During the cultivating period, the residue amount of diazinon was changed from 1.02 mg/kg (0 day) to 0.01 mg/kg (14 day), $DT_{50}$ was 2.19 days, and iprodione was changed from 1.45 mg/kg (0 day) to 0.14 mg/kg (14 day), $DT_{50}$ was 4.15 days, and chlorfenapyr was changed from 1.5 mg/kg (0 day) to 0.01 mg/kg (14 day), $DT_{50}$ was 1.97 days. The $DT_{50}$ of double amount in those pesticides, diazinon was 2.24 days, iprodione was 4.82 days, and chlorfenapyr was 2.24 days, respectively.

Fungicides of tebuconazole wp, iprodione wp and flusilazole wp were applied for the control of postharvest fruit rots of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) in the field in 2000 and 2001. More than 3 consecutive applications of these fungicides from the late June with 10-day-interval successfully controlled the diseases. It was found in the field trial in 2002 that 4 consecutive spays from mid of June with 10-day-interval was found to be the most effective application program for tebuconazole wp, iprodione wp and flusilazole wp, The results suggested that currently registered fungicides of benomyl wp and thiophanate-methyl wp can be substituted by tebuconazole wp, iprodione wp and flusilazole wp for the control of the diseases in Korea. Use of these fungicides can restrain emergence of fungicide resistant strains of postharvest fruit rot pathogens with benefit of reduced application of chemicals for food safety and environmental conservation.

In this study, acute toxicity of four pesticides (diazinon, iprodione, fenproparthrin, and myclobutanil) to Chinese bleak, Aphyocypris chinensis, and to study their adverse effects were conducted in static systems. The 96-hr $LC_{50}$ values were determined, as well as 95% confidence limits. The 96-hr $LC_{50}$ values of these chemicals derived for Chinese bleak were rank ordered from the most toxic to the least toxic technicals as follows: Fenproparthrin (0.003 mg $L^{-1}$)>Myclobutanil (9.1 mg $L^{-1}$)>Diazinon (14.1 mg $L^{-1}$)>Iprodione (31.8 mg $L^{-1}$), The data presented in this study indicate the acute toxicity tests carried out on only one fish species may lead to erroneous determination of water quality criteria and classification of test chemicals for environmental management and regulatory purpose. Therefore, more studies comparing the susceptibility of a variety of fish species to various toxicants are needed.

Photosensitizing activities of some photosensitizers (PS) for the artificial diminution of pesticide residues on horticultural crops were investigated. Five fungicides, iprodione, bitertanol, chlorothalonil, myclobutanil, and dichlofluanid were sprayed on apple and cucumber, followed by the application of each selected photosensitizer, and the samples were collected 0, 1, 3, 7, 15 days after the photosensitizer application and analyzed for the residual amounts. Of the 40 photosensitizers tested, six selected on the basis of the eliminating effect of pesticide residues were PS-1 (aromatic ketone), PS-2 (aromatic amine), PS-3 (quinone), PS-4 (inorganic compound), PS-5 (organic acid salt), and PS-6 (semiconductor photocatalyst). The residual amount of iprodione after 15 days of the application of PS-1 was 74% of that of the control. For bitertanol, the residual amount after 15 days of the application of PS-1 accounted for 78% of that of the control. The residual amounts of chlorothalonil after 1 day of the application of PS-1 and PS-2 accounted for 56 and 54% of those of the control, respectively. The residual amounts of iprodione on cucumber after 3 days of the application of the photosensitizers PS-1 and PS-2 were 44 and 67% of those of the untreated control, respectively. For myclobutanil, the residual amount after 15 days of the application of PS-6 accounted for 45% of that of the control. In case of dichlofluanid, the residual amount after 3 days of the application of PS-1 accounted for 44% of that of the control. Based on the results, PS-1 turned out to be the most promising photosensitizer for the accelerated photodegradation of the above fungicides on apple and cucumber.

Forty eight isolates of Botrytis elliptica and 23 isolates of B. cinerea from several locations in Korea were tested for resistance to fungicides used in the farmer's fields. Isolation frequency of B. elliptica having $EC_{50}$ (effective concentration of 50%) value $500-1000{\mu}g/ml$ to benomyl and mancozeb appeared highly, suggesting that the two fungicides are not effective in controlling leaf blight of lily in the field. The isolates were tested for resistance to fungicides procymidone and iprodione which were most commonly used in the farmer's fields. The rates of $EC_{50}$ value $5-50{\mu}g/ml$ to procymidome and iprodione were 93.7% and 100%, respectively, and those of $0-0.1{\mu}g/ml$ to diethofencarb+carbendazim and fludioxonil were 98.0% and 93.8%, respectively. In the rain-protected cultivation, control of leaf blight of lily was the most effective when iprodine, diethofencarb+carbendazim, and fludioxonil were sprayed alternately four times during the growing season.

Four hundred and sixty six isolates of B. cinerea were obtained from infected leaves, stems and fruits of paprika grown in greenhouses or plastic film houses in Gangwon province, Korea, between August and November in 2006 and 2007. These isolates were classified into five representative phenotypes of resistant (R) and sensitive (S) reactions as SSR, SRR, RSS, RRS and RSR according to the responses of isolates against benzimidazole, dicarboximide and N-phenyl-carbamate fungicide in order. The percentage of five phenotypes were 51.3, 2.4, 35.6, 8.1 and 2.6%, respectively. The SSR phenotype (51.3%) was the most common. Among the nineteen fungicide products evaluated to compare their efficacy against gray mold pathogen on the paprika fruit inoculated with fungal mycelia, the mixture of diethofencarb and carbendazim was the most effective followed by iprodione, boscalid, the mixture of iprodione and thiophanate-methyl, fludioxonil, polyoxin-B, fluazinam, the mixture of tebuconazole and tolyfluanid and procymidone; while in the assay methods inoculated with fungal spores, the mixture of tebuconazole and tolyfluanid was the most effective in controlling gray mold followed by boscalid, fludioxonil, the mixture of diethofencarb and carbendazim and the mixture of pyrimethanil and chlorothalonil.

Two sulphamide (dichlofluanid and tolylfluanid) and three dicarboximide fungicides (iprodione, vinclozolin, procymidone) were used to investigate the correlation between in vitro antifungal activities and in vivo disease controlling activities against Botrytis cinerea, a causal agent of tomato gray mold and to develop efficient in vitro assays. They controlled effectively the development of tomato gray mold disease in vivo and their controlling activities were similar one another. However, several in vitro assays revealed that their in vitro antifungal activities were quite different between sulphamide and dicarboximide fungicides; the formers showed stronger inhibition activities for spore germination than the latters, whereas the formers inhibited mycelial growth less severely than the latters. The results indicate that the fungicides having different modes of action can show different in vitro antifungal activities according to in vitro assays, even if they have similar in vivo disease controlling activities. On the other hand, two rapid and efficient in vitro assays named Microtiter plate methods I (MPM I) and II (MPM II) were developed for the evaluation of fungicides for inhibitory activities against spore germination and mycelial growth of B. cinerea, respectively. The antifungal activities of five fungicides of two chemical groups in MPM I and II were correlated with the inhibitory activities against spore germination and mycelial growth using solid media, respectively.

This study was conducted to observe the effects of pesticides on the pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae isolated from Korea. Spomlation of entomopathogenic fungi in SMAY medium that mixed different concentrations of pesticides was similar to control in metalaxyl and tolclofos- methyl treatment but in half recommanded treatment of fenitrothion and mepronil very poor spomlation was showed. Pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungi dipped in all tested pesticide solution for 1 to 5hr was 100% pathogenicity of M. aniropliae in the pesticide treated chinese cabage fields were similar to control, Bt, teflubenzuron, metalaxyl, and carbofuran treatment but alachlol was below 80%. Pathogenicity and persistence of entomopathogenic fungi in turfgrass when pesticides were posttreatmented were continued to 4 months in iprodione+thiram and tolclofos-methyl treated plots but those of B. bassiana and M. anisopliae was losted in fenitrothion pathogenicity and persistence of in mepronil were nil M. anisopliae from 3 months after treatment.

A study was carried out in order to elucidate utilization of agochemicals in golf courses scien-tifically. The analysis of amounts of agrochemical used in golf courses from 1991 to 1996 which were reported to government are ;Despite of increase of golf courses, the amounts of agrochemicals decreased from 1992 as turning point. The decrease of utilization of insecticides and herbicides made it possible. In fungicides, thiopanate-methyl WP, polyoxine D. thiram WP and iprodione WP were used much in general and their utilization ratios were high. In recent year, as fungicides for Pythium blight and large patch, oxapro WP and pencycuron WP's amounts of utilization increased, but utilization ratios were under 70%. In insecticides, penitrothion OL's quantity consumed and utilization ratios were the best, but showed tendency of decrease as registration of agrochemicals for turfgrass expanded. In herbicides, bensulide OL, napropamide WP, MCPP SL were used much and their utilization ratios were high. In recent year, flazasulfuron WP's amounts of utilization and utilization ratio increased relatively. Key words: Agrochemicals Golf courses, Insecticides, Herbicides,Fungicides.

A synergistic effect of biocontrol agent and chemicals on control of the large patch on turfgrass caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2 was evaluated. Chemicals; mepronil, toclofos-methyl and iprodione inhibited 90∼100% mycelial growth of R. solani AG1 and AG2-2 in vitro. While on the other, the chemicals inhibited only 0∼5%, 18∼46% and 30∼67% of mycelial growth of the antagonists, respectively. In field application, toclofos-methyl was the best to suppress the disease in single application, however, the combination of mepronil and T. viride 41D showed highest disease control effect among combinations of antagonists and chemicals. Effect of the combination of mepronil and T. viride 41D was similar to that of toclofos-methyl and T. viride 41D stage of disease development, but became higher in six week late. Results indicated that the combined application of selected antagonistic agent and chemical increased control efficasy of turgrass large patch.
