본 실험은 삼채에 발생하는 점박이응애의 효율적인 약제방제전략의 기초 자료를 확보하고자 시판되고 있는 10종의 살비제에 대해 약제감 수성과 포장 방제효과를 평가하였다. 점박이응애 암컷 성충에 대한 실내감수성 평가 결과 Abamectin EC, Pyflubumide SC, Cyenopyrafen SC, Acequinocyl SC가 100%의 살비효과를 나타내었고, Pyflubumide SC, Acequinocyl SC, Etoxazole SC는 부화율이 0%로 나타나 100% 의 살란효과를 나타내었다. 실내감수성 평가에서 살비효과가 우수했던 Abamectin EC, Pyflubumide SC, Cyenopyrafen SC, Cyflumetofen SC, Acequinocyl SC를 대상으로 포장검정을 평가한 결과, 약제처리 7일차에서 모든 처리구는 90.3% 이상의 방제가를 나타내었다.

The water spider (Argyroneta aquatica), a rare member of its species, is one of the few insects known to live under water all over the world. In Korea, the water spider can be found only in the Eundae-ri, Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi province, where they are designated as a natural monument. However, loss of habitat is obvious, as the Eundae-ri wetland undergoes hydrarch succession. Loss of habitat has a direct impact on the water spider population. Thus protective measures for the water spider are needed to preserve the water spider habitat. In this study, a sweeping and visual survey of insect species was conducted in the water spider habitat from May to September 2015. The characteristics of each one of the different insect species and the community features were analyzed in this study. A total of 3,929 insects representing 276 species from 13 orders collected for the analysis. The most frequently collected insects from the Order Hemiptera represented 24.2% of total species and 82.3% of the total number of insects. Community analyses showed dominance, diversity, evenness, and richness indices of 0.23, 2.27, 0.41, and 31.2, respectively. Compared with the previous survey data, these results showed that reduction of the spider’s wetland habitat caused the most commonly collected insects to adapt and spread to the surrounding terrestrial environment.

A fixed-precision-level sampling plan was developed to establish control of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, in two strawberry greenhouses (conventional plot, natural enemy plot). T. urticae was sampled by taking a three-leaflet leaf (1 stalk) from each plant (3 three-leaflet leaves) from each sampling position. Each leaflet was divided into three different units (1-leaflet, 2-leaflet, and 3-leaflet units) to compare relative net precision (RNP) values for selection of the appropriate sampling unit. The relative net precision values indicated that a 1-leaflet unit was more precise and cost-efficient than other units. The spatial distribution analysis was performed using Taylor’s power law (TPL). Homogeneity of the TPL parameters in each greenhouse was evaluated by using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). A fixed-precision-level sequential sampling plan was developed using the parameters of TPL generated from the combined data of the conventional plot and natural enemy plot in a 1-leaflet sampling unit. Sequential classification sampling plans were also developed using the action threshold of 3 and 10 mites for pooled data. Using the results obtained in the independent data, simulated validation of the developed sampling plan by Resampling validation for sampling plan (RVSP) indicated a reasonable level of precision.

This study was conducted from November 2016 to March 2017 for the development and evaluation of the biologicalcontrol of the two spotted mite (Tetranychus urticae; TSSM) in the strawberry greenhouses. Natural enemy plot and conventionalplot were selected to compare the mean density of T. urticae. T. urticae was sampled by taking three leaflets (1 stalk)from each plant (3 three-leaflet) leaves from each sampling position. Natural enemy plot was released with Phytoseiuluspersimilis and conventional plot was sprayed with pesticides(abamectin, cyenopyafen, etc). Each stage of TSSM densitywas higher in conventional pesticides than natural enemy. Spatial Analysis by Distance IndicEs (SADIE) was used toanalyze spatial distribution and index of aggregation   , index of clustering  ,   were used to investigate the spatialdistribution. Also, the clustering indices were mapped as red-blue plot. As a result, The spatial distribution of T. urticaewas varied, particularly, feeding ability and density of P. persimilis caused regular spatial distribution of T. urticae.

The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (TSSM)(Acari: Tetranychidae) is the major arthropod pest in strawberry greenhouses. Elevated levels of stress caused by high populations of TSSM can lead to a significant reduction in vegetative growth and flower development, which can decrease the quality and quantity of mature fruits. Currently, TSSM is managed by pesticide, and which makes that is distributed all over the world with various pesticide resistances and environmental side effects. To solve these problems, alternative pest management strategies are being tried. Biological control, one of alternative strategies, is relatively low toxicity and stable to agricultural ecosystems. I compared the density of TSSM in export strawberry greenhouses, those are under conventional pesticides and natural enemy applied, respectively, and also evaluated the cost of management of each control strategy.
