Pesticides are extensively used for the control of crop pests in agriculture and forestry. Organophosphate (OP) and carbamate pesticides are especially effective for the control of a variety of harmful insects. However, these cholinesterase inhibitors are also dangerous to non-target organisms (wildlife and other animals) because of their high acute toxicity. Most poisonings by pesticides occur as a result of misuse or accidental exposure, but intentional killing of unwanted animals also occurs. At the request of a local autonomous entity, we investigated wild bird poisonings by pesticides from 2003 to 2007. The 207 suspicious samples of pesticide poisoning based on the necropsy were analyzed by GC/NPD, GC/FPD, or GC/MSD. We looked for trends in the identification of pesticides in wild birds thought to have died from poisoning. Pesticides were determined in 59% of the total samples analyzed. Phosphamidon and monochrotophos were the most common pesticides identified, which amounted to 77% of the subtotal. Other OP and carbamate pesticides were also found in various concentrations from dead wild birds. The determined rates of pesticides were as high as 86% and 76% in 2003 and 2006, respectively, during an outbreak of avian influenza in Korea.

Pesticides are useful to eliminate harmful insects and grow crops however, misuse and abuse of pesticides may cause a death of wild birds, livestock, and companion animals. We analyzed residual pesticides in the ingesta and tissues from the dead wild birds, livestock, and companion animals which were suspected pesticide poisoning based on the diagnosis of the Animal Disease Diagnostic Center of National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service (NVRQS). The samples were primarily brought to NVRQS from local communities and veterinary diagnostic laboratories. The 231 suspicious samples of pesticide poisoning based on the necropsy were analyzed by GC/NPD, GC/FPD, GC/ECD, or GC/MSD in 2008 and 2009. Pesticides were identified from the 55 samples of total 143 samples analyzed in 2008 and from the 34 samples of total 88 samples analyzed in 2009. The pesticide identification rates in 2008 were higher than the rates in 2009. It may have relevance to the increased samples with the outbreak of avian influenza in 2008 in Korea. The concentrations of pesticides found in the dead animals varied and exceeded the respective $LD_{50}$ of pesticides in many cases. Monochrotophos, phosphamidon, and methomyl were the most common pesticides found and those pesticides are high rank sales in Korea. The cause of pesticide poisoning in animal is assuming a misuse and an abuse of commonly used pesticides in Korea.

Whitefly, Dialeuropora decempuncta (Quaintance rind Baker) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) has attained the major pest status in mulberry, causing 24% crop loss by sucking the leaf juice and manifesting leaf curl, chlorosis and sooty mould desease during monsoon season in West Bengal, India. The assessment of economic threshold revel is an essential component for formulating the management practices. Experiments were carried out by inoculating five different densities of whitefly viz.,10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 adults on covered mulberry plants in glass houses. From the findings, it was observed that irrespective of released density, no crop loss was observed in the initial period. But with the passing of days, the percent crop loss was increased rapidly. The linear relationship between percent crop loss and number of adults released was established to highlight the significance of economic threshold. The statistical analysis in the linear form of equation showed that initial population of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 whiteflies/plant causes 3%, 12%, 21%, 30% and 40% crop loss in a period of 28 days which is equivalent to 57 kg, 247 kg, 437 kg, 626 kg and 816 kg leaf/acre. Execution of management practices (spray of 0.01% monocrotophos) are economical to the farmer whenever the loss is above 247 kg/acre, but below which application of control measures is not economical. From this study, it can be inferred that the economic threshold level far whitefly is 20 individuals/plant beyond which a farmer has to take appropriate control measures.

본 시험은 Omethoate (Folimat) 외 6종의 침투성 살충제를 공시하여 수간주입에 의한 솔잎혹파리의 방제효과를 검토하는 한편 관행 Drilltlr 수간주입방법을 보다 성력적인 방향으로 개량코자 실시하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Phosalone$(Rubitox^{(35)}\;EC)$을 제외한 Omethoate $(Folimat^{(R)}\;50\;EC)$, Vamidothion (Kilval 40 EC), Methamidophos $(Tamaron^{(R)}\;60\;SL)$, Phosphamidon $(Dimecron6{(R)}\;50\;EC)$, Monocrotophos $(Nuvacron^{(R)}\;24\;EC)$ 및 Dimethoate $(Roger^{(R)}\;50\;EC)$의 수간주입은 솔잎혹파리의 방제효과가 비교적 우수하였다. 2. 관행 Drill 식 수간주입과 개량 Mauget식 수간주입간에는 그 효과발현에 차이가 없었다. 3. 관행 Drill식 수간주입에서 주입공의 상처회복율은 $14\%$인데 비하여 개량 Mauget식 수간주입에서는 $100\%$ 완전 회복되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 개량 Mauget식을 도입하므로서 보다 성력적인 수간주입에 의한 솔잎혹파리의 방제가 가능하다고 본다.

사과의 조팝나무진딧물의 수종 약제에 대한 야외 개체군의 감수성을 조사하였다. 1983년부터 1987년까지 사과원에서 피리미카브외 9약종에 대한 약효시험결과 연도별, 지역별에 따라 현저한 감수성 차이를 보였는데, 서울등 4개 지역에서 사과나무에 발생한 진딧물에 대한 약제감수성을 조사한 결과 지역별로 디메톤에스메칠과 포스파미돈이 차가 크게 있었고, 약제별 {TEX}$LC_{50}${/TEX}을 델타메스린과 크로르피리포스가 10ppm 이하였으며, 디메톤에스메칠, 아세페에트, 포스파미돈, 모노크로토포스, 바미도치온은 103~629ppm이었고, 가장 오래 사용하였던 이피엔과 피리미카브는 1000ppm이상이었다. 또한 약제저항성 정도를 조사하기 위하여 감수성 크론과 저항성 크론을 침지법으로 처리하여 저항성비를 조사한 결과 포스파미돈은 73배, 파리미카브는 546배의 저항성이 유발되었으며, 감수성 크론과 저항성 크론에대한 효소활성을 $\alpha$-NA를 기질로해서 한천겔 전기영동법으로 효소활성을 조사한 결과 감수성 크론에 비하여 저항성 크론은 E-2, E-5, E-6, E-7의 활성이 현저하게 높았다. 따라서 조팝나무진딧물의 살충제에 대한 감수성 저하는 에스테라제의 활성도에 기인하는 것으로 생각되나 다른 원인도 배제할 수는 없다.

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate screening method of residual multi pesticides in dead birds by Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) to identify the cause of death for birds. METHODS AND RESULTS: Extraction and clean-up method of residual pesticides in liver of dead birds was used QuEChERS (Quick Easy Cheap Effective Rugged and Safe) and method validations was conducted using liquid chromatography and gas chroamtography with triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer (LC/MS/MS and GC/MS/MS) Also, we were evaluated screening method for the determination of residual pesticides in liver of dead birds by LC and GC Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry. Results of method validations, Correlation coefficients of the matrix matched calibration curves were >0.978, and the method detection limits (MDLs) and limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 2.8~72.1 ng/g (18.4 ng/g on average) and 9.0~230 ng/g (58.5 ng/g on average). The accuracy ranged from 69.1%to 130% (103% on average), and the precision values were less than 14.8%(3.8%on average). The screening of residual pesticides in liver of dead birds by LC and GC Orbitrap HRMS was detected monocrotophos, carbofuran, carbosulfan, deltametrin, benfuracarb, carbofuran, phosphamidon, prochloraz in investigated samples. CONCLUSION: This results showed that accurate mass were extraction of residual pesticides in dead birds by Orbitrap HRMS. It suggested that this screening method is applicable to the residual pesticide analysis for the cause of death as a main tool.
