There are relatively few cases of classical biological control in Korea. During 1904 to 1905 the wooly apple aphid, Eriosoma langigerum, had been happen to invade into Korea from Japan together with imported seedling of apple and its damage spread to Jinampo near Pyoung-Yang City and it occurred all across the country by 1934. In 1934 a parasitic wasp, Aphelinus mali, was introduced and released to apple orchards and found established in nature. And it was the first case of classical biological control in Korea. Afterward couple of classical biological control programs against invaded pests were conducted mainly by the RDA with variable results. For example the orange scale, Ceroplastes rubens, and the Eggar which were successfully controlled by introduction Anicetus beneficus and Thecodiplosis pinico, respectively.

Anatatus orientalis (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae) is aparasitic natural enemy of the lantern-fly Lycorma delicatula (Hemiptera:Fulgoridae) in China. It can complete 6 generations from April to December in a year under laboratory conditions. It takes 18-28 d for development of one generation at about 25℃. Under the room temperatures of 23-25℃, the developmental duration of eggs is 1-2 days, 10 days for larvae, 4 days for prepupae and 7 days for pupa stage. A. orientalisis a mono-parasitic wasp in the eggs of L.delicatula and its female can oviposit 9.18 eggs on average. The oviposition period is 5-20d. The adults can survive 4-7d on average without supplying any nutrition. While feeding with 20% honey solution, the female adult longevity can reach 25 days on average.

Lepidopterous pests can be a problem in corn cultivation in the southern region. This study investigated the occurrence of Ostrinia furnacalis, Helicoverpa armigera and Pseudaletia separata in corn field of southern region. O. furnacalis has investigated aspects occur in Iksan, Buan and Gochang. H. armigera and P. separata has investigated the aspects occur in Buan and Gochang. Occur from early May in sex pheromone trap, showing the highest density occurs in late May, the 1st occurrence of O. furnacalis adult was reduced since the beginning of June. the 2nd occurrence of O. furnacalis adult occurs in late August and showed the highest density occurred in early September. Occurrence time showed aspects similar to the three regions of the O. furnacalis adult. 1st adult occurs in early May from Buan, H. armigera showed the highest density occurs in early August and showed the highest density occurs in early July from Gochang. The 1st adult P. separata occurs in late April, showed the highest density occurs in late June from Gochang. However, the incidence density was lower in Buan.

This study was carried out to know whether the host plant feeding have an influence to subsequent prey consumption of a zoophytophagous mirid, Nesidiocoris tenuis, with biological control potential. Piece of leave of Paprika, Sesame, and cotton ball soaked with water were respectively provided to the test insects, adult mirid starved about a day, and frozen eggs of Ephestia kuehniella, were presented to them for a day and counted the number of the eggs consumed by them. The mirid fed by Sesame leave took significantly less prey than both the Paprika and the water fed one.

Global warming is one of the most buzzing words these days, as the average temperature increased up to 6.4℃ before the end of 21st century and the water level to 59cm causing severe draught, heavy snowfall, and monster typhoon all over the world. The capacity of natural ecosystem will not be able to contain such changes. Many of the species will be endangered and some of them are warned to be extinct, and accordingly water and food supply will not meet the demand of human. In 2007, IPCC, Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change, made fourth report about global warming and estimated that the CO2 content in the atmosphere increased about 1.35 times to 379ppm at 2005 from 280ppm before the industrialization period pulling the average air temperature up by 0.7℃ a year. The water level as well increased by 1.8mm a year as the polar iceberg and permanent snow melt down. Global warming caused by environmental pollution and greenhouse gas may lead to the increase of price of not only agricultural product but also the industrial products as a consequence, a phenomenon so called Ecoflation, Ecology+inflation. IPCC forecasted that if the present phase use of fossil energy continues the air temperature in 2090-2099 will increase by 4℃ and the water level by 26-59cm compared to that of 1980-1999, warning particularly that the average increase of global temperature by 1.5-2.5℃ a year will put the species of 20-30% into danger of extinction. According to the report by the Korea National Statistical Office about the effect of climate change on the production of agriculture and fishery, the cultivation area of apple which is typical temperate fruit decreased to 29,204ha in 2007 from 52,447ha in 1992. On the other hand the cultivation area of peach increased greatly to 15,014ha(2005) compared to 12,000ha in 1996 as it became possible to grow wherever in Korea. Similar change can also be found for orange and grape, orange can be grown in Jeonnam and Kyuongnam province, and grape in Kangwon province. Jeju island and southern coastal area of Korea worry about the inhabitation of subtropical pests when they invade these area, in fact the pest outbreak as a result of the increase of generation a year is ever more frequent. The typical examples are Paratlanticus ussuriensis (Uvarov), the lantern fly, Lycorma delicatula, and the fruit moths like Carposina sasakii Walsingham.

실험실 조건에서 고구마 뒷날개흰밤나방의 교미 전 행동습성을 관찰하였다. 짝이 있고 어두운 상태에서 안테나를 치켜세우고 날개를 진동하는 습성을 보였으며, 암컷과 수컷 모두 날개를 진동하고 안테나를 치켜세우는 행동을 보이다가 수컷이 암컷에게로 날아가는 습성을 보였다. 불이 꺼진상태로 20여분이 지나면 안테나를 치켜세우는 반응을 보이기 시작하였으며 40분이 지났을 때부터 마치 짝을 유인하는 음향을 생성하듯이 날개를 빠르게 진동하는 반응을 보였다. 짝짓기는 우화 후 이튿날부터 관찰되었으며 대부분 4일에서 6일 사이에 짝짓기를 하였다. 짝짓기는 평균 207분 동안 지속되었고, 대부분 3회까지 반복적으로 교미를 하였다. 관찰결과를 종합적으로 분석해보면 암컷이 신호를 보내고 수컷이 이에 반응하는 것으로 보이며, 암컷이 내는 음향이 뒷날개흰밤나방의 교미전 행동습성에 관련되어 있을 가능성이 높은 것으로 판단되었다.

익산지역에서 벼 줄점팔랑나비(Parnara guttata)는 1년에 3세대를 경과하며, 5월중 하순부터 월동처에서 우화하여 논으로 이동한 다음 벼 잎에 산란하기 시작하였다. 유충에 의한 벼의 피해는 7월 하순부터 증가하여 8월 중 하순 사이에 가장 많은 것으로 관찰되었으며, 3세대 성충이 우화하기 시작하는 시기는 9월 중순이었다. 벼의 이망시기와 줄점팔랑나비에 의한 피해는 만식한 논에서 켰다. 살충제를 유충발생 최성기 약 1주일 전인 7월 하순에 처리하였을 때 91.2%의 방제효과를 나타낸 반면 8월 초순에 처리할 경우에는 방제효과가 57.2%로 낮았다.
