Chemical derivative synthesis of ricinine, an active compound of Ricinus communis which showed high mortality against brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens), was performed to improve its pesticidal activity and the toxicity of 12 synthetic derivatives against major insect pests and phytopathogenic fungi were examined. Carbamate derivatives of ricinine could be synthesized from the precursor of ricinine, chloronorricinine and norricinine, whereas the derivatives were not synthesized from chlororicinic acid and ricinic acid having ketone group of pyridine ring. In organophosphates, reaction with oxon type of phosphate gave better yield than thiono type. Among the organophosphate derivatives of ricinine, thiono type of derivative structure gave $96.3%{\sim}100%$ mortality of the brown planthopper and the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) at 500 ${\mu}g/ml$ level. On the other hand, carbamate derivatives did not show insecticidal activity. In the fungicidal activity of ricinine derivatives, the derivative having amino radical at the 2 position of ricinine gave 85 to 100% of mycelium growth inhibition effect against ten major plant pathogens at the 200 ${\mu}g/ml$ level. In particular, the control value of the derivative on the rice blast (Pyricularia grisea) and barley powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis) at the 250 ${\mu}g/ml$ level in vivo under greenhouse conditions was 92% and 96%, respectively.

The experiments were conducted to clarify the influence of transplanting date on the occurrence of rice virus in field condition of 1984. The rate of RBSDV (rice black-slreaked dwarf virus) viruliferous vector, smaller brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus Fallen), was shown to be $13.6\%$ at the 2nd adult and that of rice stripe virus (RSV) viruliferous was $6.7\%$ at the 2nd adult. The vector in the field was begun to come from May 29, the maximum densities were 19.6 insects per hill on June 13 in cultivar Chucheongbyeo, 19.3 in Nagdongbyeo, 7.4 in Cheongcheongbyeo and 4.9 in Samgangoyes. The number of vectors per hill was inclined to increase by early transplanting. Although the infection of rice virus in nursery bed was not recognized until May 30 transplanting, the nursery infection could be seen from June 10 transplanting. The highest rate of nursery infection with RSV was $4.1\%$ at June 10 transplanting plot, and that of RBSDV was $14.2\%$at June 20 trans planting plot. The infection of rice virus in paddy field was the highest at May 20 transplanting plot, the lowest at July 10 plot. The earlier transplanting, the more severe occurrence of rice viruses. Occurrence of infected plants with RBSDV was shown to increase more rapidly at May 20 and May 30 planting plot than May 10 plots. However, the occurrence of infected plant with RSV was more rapid at May 10 transplanting plot than May 20 and 30.

Residual effect of imidacloprid on brown planthopper (BPH) and residues on rice plant were investigated in pot and field tests. Residual effect (showing 100% mortality) of imidacloprid of granule formulation on the BPH lasted for 40 days at a recommended dose (0.3 kg a.i./ha) and for 30 and 20 days at a half and a quarter of the recommended dose, respectively. In case of liquid formulation of imidacloprid, the residual effect lasted for 40 days at both recommended dose (0.032 kg a.i.1ha) and a half of it, and lasted for 30 days at a quarter of it. The next generation formation of BPH was throughly depressed by the imidacloprid application at the former generation. This result supports the residual effect of imidacloprid on BPH. Seed dressing (3 ghg) showed insecticidal activity (96.7% mortality) for 55 days after treatment. When granule formulation of imidacloprid was applied to soil at a recommended dose , imidacloprid residue in leaves of rice plant increased up to 0.46 ppd for 6 days and then decreased to 0.09 ppm on 40 days after application. Residue of imidacloprid in leaves of rice plant increased up to about 0.23 ppm and about 0.2 ppm for 6 days when applied at a half and a quarter of the recommended dose, respectively and after that they decreased.

This study was conducted to establish a nce insect pest control system, ~ es.ys tematic application of insecticides using carbohran and buproiezin, in Korea. The effects oi various dates of application and rates of buprofezin (25% WP) after carbofuran (3G) soil incorpombon in late May on the pop~~lation densities of the brown planthoppa (BPH) immigrating in July were investigated Appropriate application tune of buprofezin for the BPH that had evaded insecticidal effect of 5011 incorporated carbofuran was late July-early August. Application rate of buprofezln at 7.0g a.i/lOa was enough to suppress the BPH density. Buprofezin treatment after carbofumn soil incorporation could also suppress the whlte backed planthopper population but did not affect the densities oi the paddy rice spiders. Considering the charactenstics of occurring patterns of the nce insect pests in Korea. buprofezin treatment m late July or early August after carbofuran soil incorporation in late May can be a useful application system of ir~sectic~deins controlling early season Insect pests and migmtoly planthoppers on rice.

It has been documented that the resistance to planthoppers is attributed to the feeding preference of the insects. This might be related to difference in the amount of feeding plant sap between resistant and susceptible hosts. In this aspect, this study was conducted to verify it and to develop an effective screening method for resistance to planthoppers by tracer technique. An effective P-32 labelling of rice seedlings at $2\~3$ leaf stage was dipping the roots in concentration of $0.1{\mu}Ci/ml$ solution for 48 hours. Radioactivity was significantly higher in planthopers fed on susceptible variety for 48 hours as compared to those fed on resistant variety. Radioactivity of adults was higher than that of nymphs and also higher in female than male. The results were highly correlated to that indicated by the feeding preference of the insects and therefore, considered to be valid for a screening technique.

The smaller brown planthopper overwinters mostly as the fourth instar nymph. The emerged adult disperses to winter barley or wheat plants. The adult of the first generation disperses into the rice field, and spends three generations in the rice field. The population densities of the adults of the first generation and the overall density of the second generations are the most important in relation to the incidents of the rice stripe disease which is transmitted by this insects. This study was intended to analyse the population increases in these important generations in relation to the kind and the different growing stage of the host plants. The insects were reared on potted host plants of different growing stage in the insect cages. The population increases of the insects in the cages were compared with those on the rice seedlings in the laboratory. The results are as follows: 1. The average longevities of the adults of the generations were 13.4 days for the overwintered, 12.9 days for the first, and 10.2 days for the second generation, and showed no significant differences between the generations even they seemed to be shorter than normal condition probably caused by the frequent disturbance at the time of food renewal in 2 or 3 days. 2. When they were reared on the rice seedling, the average numbers of the eggs per female were 131.2 for the overwintered generation, 124.9 for the first generation grown on the barley, and 142.3 for the second generation grown on rice, and shelved no significant differences between the generations. More than $90\%$ of the eggs were laid within 3 weeks. 3. The hatchabilities of the eggs laid on the rice seedling in laboratory were $77.4\%$ for the first generation, $93.1\%$ for the second generation and $62.1\%$ for the third generation. The estimated hatchabilities of the eggs were $67.5\%$ for the first generation, $84.1\%$for the second generation, and $21.9\%$ for the third generation with the growing plants on the plots. The hatchability on the eggs laid by the adults infested on the barley on May 17 was $13.5\%$ compared with $67.5\%$ for the eggs laid by those infested on barley in late April. 4. The average total nymphal periods were 19.4 days for the first generation, and 13.3 days for the second generation in the laboratory and the mortalities of the nymphs seemed to related with the growing stages of the host plants. 5. With the pot experiments, the average per cents of the emerged adults were $37.2\%$ for the first generation, $55.3\%$ for the second generation, and $11.6\%$, for the third generation. The average numbers of the emerged adults were $7.4\%$ for the pots infested on the barley on May 17, instead of $37.2\%$ adults for those infested in late April. 6. From above results, it may suggest that the innate qualities of the insect are not significantly different between generations, and the differences in the increase of the population for the generations might effected considerably by the differences in the physiological conditions of tile host plant, besides the differences in physical and other biological factors.

This experiment was performed to clarify the concentration of rice stripe virus in the rice Plant leaves by serological test, and was attempted to inspect the virus carrier among small brown planthopper by antibody-sensitized hemagglutination test. The antiserum was prepared by injecting intervenously into the external marginal vein of the ear of a rabbit. The precipitin titer of it was 1 : 16. The rough virus fluid prepared from diseased leaves was centrifuged at 10.000 rpm, and then the supernatant solution was treated at $55^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes and the solution clarified by removing the agglutinate was used as the antigen solution. Antibody-sensitized erythrocyte solution was prepared from sheep erythrocytes sensitized by rice stripe virus with tannic acid, and its agglutination titer was 1 : 512. The virus concentrations in flag leaves or first leaves just below them showing different symptoms was high with progressing the severity of symptoms. And the concentrations of the virus in leaves of varieties of the rice plant showing same degree symptom were lower in suscetible varieties, Sadominori, Palgoeng, Mangyong and Nihonbare, than in the resistant one, Tongil, but in Yooshin which was known as the resistant, lower rather than in Tongil. The reacton of antibody-sensitized hemagglutination test to inspect the virus carrier, was so highly sensitive that this reaction was recognized as a method which is able to Identify the carrier accurately in short time.

Some attempts were made to investigate the honeydew excretion of the brown planthopper(BPH), Nilaparvata lugens Stal, biotypes in terms of instal nymph, days after emergence, macropterous and brachypterous mated and unmated female, and macropterous female with different sources fed on 60-day-old rice cultivars with different resistance genes. The feeding amount of the BPH biotypes was measured by using the honeydew excretion test. The feeding amount of fifth instar on Miryang 23 with no resistance gene was higher than that of Cheon-gcheongbyeo with Bph-1 gene by two times. Macropterous and brachypterous females showed low feeding amount at first day after emergence, but they showed high feeding amount from second days after emergence. Also the feeding amount of brachypterous female was higher than that of macropterous female. In addition, the feeding amount of BPH was in the order of nymph

To breed virus resistant rice variety, developing an efficient screening method is the most important. Two screening methods such as field screening and tray screening method have been used, but the efficiency of the field screening method is too low because of environment factors and the that of the tray screening method is good but screening capability is limited with only $200{\sim}300$ lines per year. To overcome those problems, mass screening method using screen house was developed. Barely as host plant of vector insect was grown in screen house in winter season. Then viruliferous insects are spread in the first spring of the initiation year and sustain them annually. Screening of virus resistance was tested two times in a year, the first screening was from April to June and the second from July to September. The virus infected rate of each susceptible varieties was increased to 92% for RSV and 100% for RDV from the second year. Also, this method can evaluate as many as $1,500{\sim}2,000$ pedigree lines in one time compared with the tray screening method. The result indicates that the mass screening method using screen house, which combines the advantages of the field and tray screening methods, is proven to be more efficient and reliable.

The potential of using GIS in analyzing pest surveillance data was explored. The Spatial Analysis System (SPANS) was used to construct a spatial data base to study pest distributions using pest surveillance data collected from 152 stations in South Korea. The annual spatIal distributions of the striped rice borer(SRB), Chdo suppressalis, showed that high densities started to expand in the early 1980s, reaching a peak in 1988. The pattern change appears to be related to cultivation of japonica and indica-japonica hybrid varieties in South Korea. Japo7l!ca varieties have longer duration resulting in the SRB haVlng more time to mature and hibernate in wmter. The locus of SRB spread appears to be located in the mid-west region near lri, Chun~ Buk Province. High brown planthopper (BPH) populations in South Korea are often related to the early immigration and temperature. The simulated distribution of PPH densities in September using these two factors was compared with the actual distribution obtained using 1990 data. The two density maps corresponded closely excepL for differences in the south eastern valley. By overlaying the simulated map layer with the elevation and rice area maps, more specific BPH risk zones could be identified.
