Foliar retention of pyribenzoxim (1% EC) was measured using the fluorescent dye rhodamine B, and related to efficacy and phytotoxicity to barnyardgarss (Echinochloa crusgalli) and rice (Oryza sativa cv. Chucheong), respectively. Effects of nozzle types (8002E flat-fan and disk-type), addition of adjuvant, variation of herbicide concentration or spray volume were compared. In barnyardgrass, foliar retention of pyribenzoxim at a recommended condition (application rate : 30g ai/ha, spray volume : 1000 L/ha) was 2.3 to 2.7 or 1.4 to $1.5{\mu}g$ ai/g fresh foliage when sprayed using the disk-type nozzle with or without adjuvant, respectively, and 0.6 to 0.7 or 0.3 to $0.5{\mu}g$ ai/g fresh foliage when sprayed using the flat-fan nozzle with or without adjuvant, respectively. The slope of increase in foliar retention was 1.0 to 1.8 when application rates increased from 10 to 60g ai/ha at 1000 L/ha, while that was 1.6 to 2.4 when spray volume increased from 330 to 2000 L/ha at $30{\mu}g$ ai/L concentration. Foliar retention of pyribenzoxim had a close relationship with herbicidal activity; regardless of spray conditions, retention to provide 90% control was about $0.8{\mu}g$ ai/g fresh foliage, and below this retention amount, efficacy decreased almost linearly. In rice, foliar retention at the recommended condition was 1.9 to 2.3 or 1.2 to $1.3{\mu}g$ ai/g fresh foliage when sprayed using the disk-type nozzle with or without adjuvant, respectively, and 0.6 to 0.9 or $0.3{\mu}g$ ai/g fresh foliage when sprayed using the flat-fan nozzle with or without adjuvant, respectively. The slope of increase in foliar retention was 1.0 to 2.8 when application rates increased from 30 to 120g ai/ha at 1000 L/ha, while that was 1.3 to 4.4 when spray volume increased from 1000 to 4000 L/ha at $30{\mu}g$ ai/L concentration. Despite the great difference in retention, rice phytotoxicity was not observed in any of these spray conditions, suggesting retention differences within 4-fold increase of application rate or spray volume do not affect rice safety. When pyribenzoxim 1EC was sprayed in tank-mix with several other commercial pesticide formulations, its retention to rice foliage tended to increase by 30 to 50%.

Hexahydro-1,2-bertzisoxazol-4-ols prepared from the diastereoselective reductions of 3-aryl-3a,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1,2-benzisoxazol-4-ones were reacted with benzyl chloride in the presence of sodium hydride to give new 4-benzyloxy-3a,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1,2-benzisoxazoles, which showed good herbicidal activity together with excellent selectivity on rice under submerged paddy conditions.

A new strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa growing in a rice field contaminated with herbicide and effluents of a factory manufacturing explosives was isolated. This isolate showed excellent growth in unusually high concentration of acrylamide (60 mM). It utilized acrylamide as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen for growth. Other amides such as acetamide, butyramide, isobutyramide, and methacrylamide were also utilized for the growth by this isolate. Acrylamide was degraded into acrylic acid and ammonia by the enzyme amidase. More than $65\%$ of added acrylamide (40 mM) was converted into acrylic acid after 40 h of growth of the culture. Amidase activity was inducible, the highest activity being observed with isobutyramide ($12.5{\mu}M$ ammonia/mg protein/min). These results demonstrate that this bacterium can degrade a variety of amides.

In this experiment, germination test of ginseng seed and growth test of two year old ginseng in soil incorporated with quinclorac (3,7-Dichloro-8-quinoline carboxylic acid) were conducted to evaluate phytotoxicity caused by quinclorac residue in soil. Ginseng seed germiilation was hardly affected, but growth of ginseng seedling was retarded by quinclorac. The phytotoxicity of quinclorac on ginseng seedling was expressed at the lowest level tested, 3.75 g a.i./10a (118 of recommended rate for rice cultivation). The representative phytotoxicity in ginseng were decreased root weight, shortened leaf width and leaf length, and weak lateral root Quinclorac residue decreased by 1/4 in pot soil after 2 months and below 2 ppm in the paddy soil applied at usual rate (30 g a.i./10a) after 1∼ 2 years. Below 2 ppd ginseng did not show any phytotoxicity symptom.

The impact of plant genetic engineering, a technology born in the early 1980's, is beginning to be felt across the world in the 1990's. The first wave of engineered plant produce are reaching consumers in the supermarket and many more are destined to follow Transformation technology now exists for most plant, including the four staple crops-maize, wheat, rice, and soybean. Early targets of genetic engineering include plane possessing insect resistance and herbicide tolerance, with future goals set on increasing harvestable yield, improving nutritional quality, and making specialty products. This review describes some of the milestones in plant biotechnology, the U.S. regulatory agencies, field trial numbers and deregulated plants, commercialization criteria, examples of commercialized plants, and future prospects of plant biotechnology.

To establish the weed control method without herbicide and weeding work, mulch paper was developed from domestic old corrugate container. Basis weight of mulch paper should be above 120 g/$m^2$ to guarantee the mechanical properties. It was concluded that polyamide polyamine epichlorohydrin was desirable to improve the wet strength of mulch paper and the optimum addition level was about 1.5% on the basis of oven dry pulp. The mulch paper was found to be effective in controlling paddy weeds. For the complete weed control the mulch paper should be sustained without decomposition over 45 days. As the paper mulching reduced the soil temperature, the mulch paper was required to improve the penetration of radiant heat.

Molinate is thiocarbamate herbicide used primarily in rice production. Chondrogenesis is a multistep process that is essential for endocondral bone formation. The transcription factor Sox9 has an essential role during the sequential steps of chondrocyte differentiation. Bombina orientalis is one of the most common amphibians in the world and comprises a large proportion of their total number. We examined the embryotoxic and survival effects of molinate at various concentration in B. orientalis embryos. The survival rates of embryos at 312h post fertilization treated with molinate was decreased with concentration dependent manner. Also, developmental malformations appeared by molinate in B. orientalis embryos. the expression levels of Sox9 mRNA was examined by RT-PCR. In our result showed that Sox9 expression was found to be increased in malformed tadpole compared to normal tadpole. These results suggested that molinate was detrimental for survival and development of B. orientalis embryo.

Several vinylsulfonylphenyl triketones and 2-alkoxy- and 2-(N,N-diethylamino) ethanesulfonylphenyl triketones have been synthesized, and their herbicidal activities in flooded paddy field were studied. Herbicidal effects of vinylsulfonyl triketones 6a-c were not satisfactory, whereas 2-alkoxyethanesulfonylphenyl triketones 7a and 7b showed good herbicidal activities without meaningful selectivity to rice.

The effect of transplanting method of rice seedlings on weed occurrence was investigated at the Yeongnam Crop Experiment Station in 1983. Rice was transplanted by hand and machine and eleven common herbicides were applied. The greatest weeds were harvested from the plot that rice was not transplanted and more weeds encountered at machine transplanted plot than hand transplanted plot. The degree of weed suppression by rice plant itself was 50% for machine transplatning and 55% for hand transplanting, respectively. Simpson index and community dominance of weed species were the highest in hand transplanting and followed by machine transplanting and no rice plot in order. Rice grain yield was exponentially correlated with the amounts of weed occurrence and more yield loss exhibited at machine transplanting than hand transplanting in the same amount of weeds. In the herbicidal activity, most of herbicides performed better at hand transplanting than machine transplanting while the degree of difference between transplanting methods varied depend on herbicide used.
