This study was performed to investigate the seasonal occurrence, developmental characteristics of each nymphal stages with different temperatures (20, 25, 30℃), longevity and fecundity of ussur brown katydid, Paratlanticus ussuriensis, damaging by outbreaks in the orchard areas of Bitan-ri, Yeongdong, Chungbuk. Paratlanticus ussuriensis occurred from late-March to late-August with peak of mid-May. Newly emerged nymphs appeared from March and do damaged fruit orchards with peak of mid-May when P. ussuriensis existed as 4th and 5th nymphal stages. P. ussuriensis adult occurred from early-June to mid-Aug. with peak of mid-July. Total density of P. ussuriensis was showed highest in mid-May. P. ussuriensis goes through nymphal stages to 7th nymph, the ovipositor began exposed to outside from the 4th instar and the body weight increased heavily from this stage and the wings were observed from 6th instar. Developmental period was longer as increased the nymphal stages. Sex ratio of collected insect was showed as 0.57; females more than males. As increased the temperature, developmental period was to be short. Preoviposition was also to be short as 5.0, 4.3, and 3.4 days at 20, 25, 30℃, respectively, and fecundity increased as 69.0, 87.1, and 104.3 at 20, 25, 30℃, respectively. Longevity of male and female at 25℃ was showed the longest with 35.7, and 32.9 days and showed the shortest with 30.1 and 28.1 days at 30℃, respectively. The difference of developmental period in male and female were showed longer in female without relation of temperature. The eggs laid were frequently distributed 3 to 4 cm from soil surface, and showed the behavior laying eggs intensively when early oviposition period.

Paromius exiguus (Distant) has caused serious damage by pecky grains around Gimpo paddy fields in 2001. We conducted field and laboratory studies to determine the seasonal occurrence and age distribution of P. exiguus on the three major host plants. The overwintering P. exiguus was found mainly on the basal part of gramineae weeds in various localities. After overwintering, in mid-May, the adults aggregated on the grain parts of Imperata cylindrica, laid their eggs and nymphs developed into adults on the same host plants. By the time, the Calamagrostis epigeios colony had newly occupied I. cylindrica areas, the nymphs and adults of first generation had already moved to the second host. The second generation of P. exiguus, after having completed its life cycle on C. epigeios, the newly emerged adults migrated to the rice plants and other gramineae weeds in early August. Afterwards, they complete its third generation cycle where they can move to the overwintering site again. P. exiguus has the five nymphal stages and each nymphal stage could be determined by head or prothoracic width. On the I. cylindrica and O. sativa hosts, the age distribution of P. exiguus showed a simple structure as each stage ratio increased stepwise with time. But in case of C. epigeios, as the newly emerged adults and immature nymphs continuously migrate after a month from the I. cylindrica, the age structure became remarkably complex. The peak nymphal density was observed when the ratio of third and forth instar was the highest in the population. The finding about the specific age structure on each generation of the insect would be very useful in control decision making on the major host plants. It is also important to consider the host"s specificity to pesticide sensitivity in relation to various nymphal stages.

Longevity of male and female at 25℃ was showed the longest with 35.7, and 32.9 days and showed the shortest with 30.1 and 28.1 days at 30℃, respectively. The difference of developmental period in male and female were showed longer in female without relation of temperature. The eggs laid were frequently distributed 3 to 4 ㎝ from soil surface, and showed the behavior laying eggs intensively when early oviposition period.

To find effective native natural enemies of spider mites in the surrounding vegetation of citrus orchards, we investigated the species composition and seasonal occurrence of phytoseiid mites on Podocarpus macrophyllus, which is one of the major windbreak tree species surrounding citrus orchards in Japan, in Nagasaki prefecture, south-western Japan, from 2006 to 2007. Six species were found: Amblyseius eharai, Euseius sojaensis, Okiseius subtropicus, Typhlodromus vulgaris, T. kishimotoi, and Typhlodromus sp. Amblyseius eharai was the most dominant species and formed more than 60% of the phytoseiid species collected in both years. Typhlodromus vulgaris was the second most dominant species. The other species were rare, except that Okiseius subtropicus was abundant in February in 2006. The density of A. eharai showed two peaks in late June and from late August to early September. The density of T. vulgaris also peaked in late June. However, the density declined thereafter, and remained low, unlike the seasonal occurrence of A. eharai. Podocarpus macrophyllus blooms from early to mid-June and produces a great deal of pollen. Both A. eharai and T. vulgaris developed and oviposited well when they were reared on pollen of Podocarpus macrophyllus as food. Therefore, the increase of these phytoseiid species in June was thought to be due to the supply of pollen of Podocarpus macrophyllus as food.

This study was conducted to investigate the seasonal occurrence of chestnut weevil, Curculio sikkimensis. The chestnuts infected by the weevils were collected from Gongju, Buyeo, and Cheongyang in Chungnam Province, Republic of Korea. Investigation was focus on the escape period of chestnut weevil larvae from the fruits, invading time and vertical distribution in soil, survival rates of larvae during overwintering, emergence period, emergence rate, and sex ratio and longevity of adults. For precocious species, larvae escaped the chestnut from the mid-September to the early-October, middle species and slow species, were escaped from the late-September to the mid-October and from the early-October to the mid-November. After escaping from the chestnut fruits all of the larvae burrowed into the soil within 35 minutes. Overwintering larvae inhabited in the range of 0~48 ㎝ from the soil surface and highly distributed in the range of 18~36 ㎝. The 74.1% of wintering chamber were distributed within 18~36 ㎝ from the surface. Survival rates observed were 38.0% in 1st year, 16.0% in 2nd years, and 2% in 3rd years, respectively. Seasonal occurrence period of C. sikkimensis was from the early-Aug. to early-Oct. and the optimal occurrence period was the early and mid-Sept. Emergence rate decreased to 8.4% in 1st year, 3.6% in 2nd years, and 0.8% in 3rd years, respectively. Sex ratio was showed in the range of 0.51-0.55. It is female biased ratio. Longevity of adults was 9.9 days for female and 8.9 days for male.

Insect pests attacking the leaf of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) were surveyed in environmentally frendly leaf-lettuce-greenhouses in Hwaseong, Namyangju, and Suwon from 2003 to 2004. Sixteen insect species of eleven families in eight orders were collected in greenhouses. Among them, Acyrthosiphon solani, Frankliniella occidentalis, and Autographa nigrisigna were the most serious pest species because of their damage ratio was over 30%. Population of Acyrthosiphon solani showed the highest peak one or two times between mid-April and early June in both the second and the third cropping period. Frankliniella occidentalis reached the highest peak one or two times, the first peak between mid-June and the late July, and the second peak between the mid-August and the mid-October. Autographa nigrisigna reached the highest peak one or times between early June and late July and in the mid-August to late October. The highest peak occurrence of A. solani was observed in early June as many as 4,836 nymphs and adults per 100 leaves. And for F. occidentalis it was in early July occurring 437 larvae and adults per 100 leaves, for A. nigrisigna in early October occurring 42 larvae per 100 leaves. The density of F. occidentalis and its damage as well was greater in soil culture than in hydroponic culture, but in case of both A. solani and A. nigrisigna no such difference between cropping systems was found.

The damaged area by and the distribution of Japanese gall forming thrips, Ponticulothrips diospyrosi Haga et Okajima (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) in Korea were surveyed based on the answers of persimmon growers to questionnaire. Seasonal occurrence of each developmental stage was estimated by monitoring the individuals in damaged leaves, and effect of trap site and side of sticky board were studied by yellow sticky traps at three sweet persimmon orchards in Gimhae and Jinju (orchards A and B), Gyeongnam province, Korea in 2005. P. diospyrosi gave damage to astringent per-simmon as well as sweet one. The damaged area of persimmon orchard has sharply increased since 2000, reaching 446 ㏊ nationwide, Gyeongnam province was most severely damaged, followed by Gyeongbuk and Jeonnam provinces. Most of the farmers answered that they sprayed insecticides and removed the damaged leaves to control P. diospyrosi. The overwintered adults were observed in the damaged-rolled leaves from mid May and the 1st generation adults from early-mid June. No thrips were observed in the damaged leaves after mid July. Yellow sticky trap data showed that peak adults catch of the overwintered generation was mid May, and that of the 1st generation was mid-late June in Gimhae and late June in Jinju. Sticky traps set at orchard-pine forest border caught significantly more number of the 1st generation adults than those at the orchard center, even though timing of peak catches was not different between the two sites. There was a tendency of more catches on the side of sticky trap facing pine forest than the other side facing orchard center, even though the catches on both sides showed no statistical difference.

The female sex pheromone of the peach leafminer, Lyonetia clerkella Linne (Lepidoptera:Lyonetiidae), was analyzed by coupled gas chromatographic-electroantennographic detector (GC-EAD). GC-EAD analyses of pheromone gland extract revealed a single compound that elicited responses from male antennae. Retention time on DB-l column of EAD-active compound was identical to that of syn-thetic (14S)-14-Methyl-1-octadecene (14Sme-1-18Hy). In field tests, sticky traps baited with synthetic l4Sme-1-18Hy alone were highly attractive to male. Traps with 0.1 ㎎ dose showed the lowest catches, but there were no significant difference in the numbers of moth caught in traps baited with doses of 0.5 and 1.0 ㎎. The results of the field assays for longevity of pheromone traps showed that effectiveness of lures maintained for at least 8 weeks under field condition. The attractiveness of 14Sme-1-18Hy was not affected by the addition of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) in lures as an antioxidant. Traps baited with 0.5 ㎎ 14Sme-l-18Hy were successfully used to monitor L. clerkella male flights. Analysis of seasonal trap catches over two years showed that moth flight activity in peach orchards occurred over a period of seven months with six generations in Suwon.

Seasonal occurrence of thrips and its damage on fruits were studied at in open field red pepper in Jeonbuk Province. The kind of thrips were Franklinella occidentalis and F. intonsa. The ratio of F. occidentalis was about 30% in periods of survey. Density of thrips increased in late May and showed peak occurrence in early to middle July. The peak occurrence of thrips was appeared at 4 pentad June. 2 pentad July, 3 pentad August, and 4 pentad September. The part of fruit damaged by thrips became discolored and roughed. When turned red, the colors of damaged parts changed from dark brown to yellowish brown. As a result, damage fruits by thrips decreased marketability. The percent of damaged fruits was highest in Imsil at 20.8 % in early August. Density of thrips on flowers was highest in middle July.

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.

톱다리개미허리노린계의 집합페로몬을 이용하여 적절한 기주가 없는 경상대학교 캠퍼스(경남 진주시)와 기주인 콩이 재배되고 있는 포장에서 가로줄노린재의 발생양상을 비교하였다. 콩포장에서는 개화기 이전(6월 28일)부터 꾸준히 유인되었으며, 10월 11일 이후에 유인수가 급증하였다. 그러나 대학 캠퍼스에서는 3월 21일부터 10월 5일까지 전혀 유인되지 않다가 10월 11일 이후부터 유인수가 급증하였다. 가로줄노린재의 암수가 비슷한 시기에 비슷한 밀도로 콩 포장에서 유인된다는 것은 이 해충이 기주인 콩을 찾아 적극적으로 이동한 결과로 생각된다. 콩 포장과 대학 캠퍼스에서 10월 이후에 유인되는 성충은 월동처를 찾아 이동하는 성충으로 판단되었다. 콩 포장과 대학 캠퍼스에서 총 유인된 암수의 수는 차이가 없었다. 가로줄노린재는 콩 포장에서 6월부터 11월 하순까지 트랩에 유인되었기 때문에, 톱다리개미허리노린재의 집합페로몬은 가로줄노린재의 비휴면성충과 휴면성충 모두에 유인력이 있다고 생각된다. 톱다리개미허리노린재 집합페로몬의 세 성분인 (E)-2-hexenyl (Z)-3-hexenoate, (E)-2-hexenyl (E)-2-hexenoate, 및 myristyl isobutyrate를 16.7+16.7+16.7 mg 또는 7+36+7 mg으로 배합했을 때, 가로줄노린재의 유인수는 무처리나 생충트랩보다 많았고, 두 배합성분 간에는 차이가 없었다.

톱다리개미허리노린재의 집합페로몬을 이용하여 경남지방의 대학교 캠퍼스와 콩포장에서 톱다리개미허리노린재의 연중 발생소장과 난소발육을 조사하였다. 대학 캠퍼스에서 들다리개미허리노린재는 년간 3세대를 경과하는 것으로 추정되었다. 제1세대 성충은 7월 상순8월 상순까지, 제2세대 성충은 8월 중순9월 하순까지 발생하였다. 제3세대 성충은 10월 상순11월 중순에 발생하는데 난소내에 난이 없는 상태로 성충휴면에 들어가 이듬해 3월 하순부터 활동을 재개하였다. 월동 후 암컷성충의 난소에서 성숙란이 처음으로 관찰되는 시기는 5월 전반기였다. 콩포장(5월 23일 파종)에서는 8월 상순9월 중순, 10월 중순11월 중순의 2회의 뚜렷한 유살시기가 있었다. 이 두 시기는 대학 캠퍼스에서의 제2, 3세대의 유살시기에 해당하는 것으로 생각되었다.

경남진주의 콩포장과 대학 캠퍼스에서 톱다리개미허리노린재의 집합페로몬을 사용하여 난기 생봉인 Ooencyrtus nerarae(Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae)의 발생소장을 조사하였다. 2003년과 2004년에 대학 캠퍼스에 설치된 트랩에 유살된 암컷의 수는 수컷 유살수의 317.5배와 103.4배이었고, 2004년 콩포장에서는 12.6배이었다. 콩포장에서 O. nezarae의 암컷은 8월 하순부터 유살되기 시작하여 9월 20일 전후에 가장 많이 유살되었다. 2003년과 2004년에 대학 캠퍼스에서는 8월 중하순부터 밀도가 증가하여 9월 상중순에 최성기를 나타내었다. 두 조사지역에서 모두 10월 이후에는 거의 발생하지 않았다. 톱다리개미허리노린재의 집합페로몬 세 성분, 즉 (E)-2-hexenyl (Z)-3-hexenoate(E2HZ3H)와 (E)-2-hexenyl (E)-2-hexenoate(E2HE2H) 및 myristyl isobutyrate(MI) 중에서 E2HZ3H 만이 O. nerarae에 대해 유인력을 나타내었다. E2HZ3H:E2HE2H:MI를 7:36:7로 배합한 것보다는 20:20:10이나 16.7:16.7:16.7으로 배합한 트랩에 더 많은 수가 유인되었는데, 이는 배합된 E2HZ3H의 량 때문인 것으로 추정된다.

충북지역에서 벼먹노린재(Scotinophara lurida)에 대한 월동처와 본논발생에 대하여 1999년부터 2001년에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 벼먹노린재 월동성충은 월동처에서 6월 상순부터 7월 상순까지 유아등에 포획되었으며, 이동최성기는 6월 하순이었다. 본논에서 각 태별 발생 피크는 월동성충이 7월 중순, 알이 7월 하순, 약충은 8월 중순에 가장 높은 밀도를 보였으며, 제 1대 성충은 9월 중순에 가장 높은 밀도 피크를 보였다. 월동태는 성충이며, 월동충은 산기슭, 제방, 논뚝에서 발견되었다.

호남지역 콩 포장에서 톱다리개미허리노린재의 발생소장, 콩 피해 및 약제방제 효과를 검토하였다. 톱다리개미허리노린재의 발생은 콩 파종시기 및 연차간에 차이가 있었다. 톱다리개미허리노린재의 발생최성기는 5월 하순경 파종은 8월 하순에, 6월 중순경 파종은 9월 중순 이었고, 파종기가 동일하더라도 연차간 기상조건에 따른 중 생육상의 차이로 톱다리개미허리노린재의 발생최성기 차이가 있었다. 톱다리개미허리노린재에 의한 콩 흡즙 피해 면적을이 증가하면 발아율이 현저하게 낮아졌으며, 특히, 콩 피해면적율이 이상 되면 발아율이 로 매우 낮았다. 톱다리개미허리노린재에 대한 약제방제효과는 콩 생육단계중 (착협성기)+ (립비대기)+ (립비대성기)에 3회 처리시 의 방제효과로 가장 높았다.

경남 김해와 창원의 단감원에서 감관총채별레(Ponticulothrips diospyrosi Haga et Okajima)의 발생생태와 피해양상을 조사하였다. 황색끈끈이 트랩 조사(2002년)와 피해권엽 내부 정밀조사(2002,2003년)에 의하면 월동세대 성충은 4월 하순부터 5월 하순 사이에 월동처에서 단감원으로 이동하여 단감의 새 잎에 산란하며, 제 1세대 성충의 발생 최성기는 6월 상중순이었다. 피해권엽 정밀조사에 의한 제1세대 난, 약충, 번데기의 발생 최성기는 각각 5월 상중순, 5월 하순6월 상순, 6월 상순이었다. 대부분의 제1세대 성충은 우화후 월동처로 이동하지만 일부 성충이 산란한 개체가 발육하여 제2세대 성충이 되는데, 7월 하순 이후에 발생하는 성충이 제2세대 성충인 것으로 생각된다. 피해엽율은 시기가 경과할수록 증가하였으며 창원포장에서 6월 상순에 9.7%로 가장 높았다. 피해과율은 6월 중순 낙화 이후부터 관찰되었으며 김해 B포장에서 9월 상순의 피해과율이 30.2%로 가장 높았다. 과수원의 가장자리에 가까이 위치한 나무일수록 피해엽 발생시기가 빨랐으며, 특히 소나무 군락을 중심으로 l0m이내에 피해가 심하였다. 성충의 발생시기와 관련하여 방제시기 문제를 고찰하였다.

고추의 주요 해충인 담배나방은 유충이 과실 속에서 가해하기 때문에 방제가 어려운 해충이다. 수원지역의 고추 포장에서 페로몬 트랩을 이용하여 성충의 발생소장을 조사한 결과 전체 발생기간은 5월 하순부터 10월 상순까지였으며 각 세대의 발생 최성기는 6월 하순, 7월 하순 8월 상순, 8월 하순 9월 상순이었다. 월동세대와 1세대 성충 발생기간 중에 트랩유인 수준은 그 이후에 발생하는 유충에 의한 과실의 피해정도를 잘 반영하였다. 그러나 고추 생육후기에 발생하는 2세대의 경우 트랩에 유인되는 성충의 수는 매우 많았으나 유충에 의한 피해율은 그다지 높지 않았다. 페로몬 트랩으로 조사된 세대별 성충 발생시기에 관한 정보를 토대로 약제방제 시험을 수행한 결과, 각 세대별 성충 발생 최성기를 중심으로 연 5회에 걸쳐 살충제를 살포하면 유충에 의한 과실 피해를 효과적으로 줄일 수 있는 것으로 조사되었다.
