파밤나방의 기주로 채소 13종, 전작물 12종, 화훼 6종, 기타 11종 등 총 42종이 확인되었고 그중 25종이 새로운 기주로 조사되었다. 파밤나방에 의한 파의 지역별 피해주율은 완도 85%, 진도 86%, 해남 78%였고 서산 1.9%, 아산 1.5%, 청양 1.4%였다. 전남지역에서 파를 제외한 기타 작물에서 파밤나방에 의한 피해주율은 감자 95%, 옥수수 94%, 양배추 82%, 녹두 83%, 콩 56%, 배추 43%, 고구마 43%였다. 충남지역에서 파밤나방의 천적으로 녹강균과 핵다각체바이러스가 동정되었고 기생율은 9.2~3.7%였다. 전남 광주의 들깨 포장에서의 녹강균에 의한 기생율은 7월 5일 13.4%, 8월 7일 28.9%, 9월 10일 18.5%였다.

파밤나방 유충을 실내에서 5세대 동안 인공사육하여 탈피할 때마다 두폭의 최대치를 측정하여 영기별 생장율을 구한 결과 2령 유충의 생장율은 1.43 이었고, 3령은 1.55, 4령은 1.48, 5령은 1.54, 6령은 1.76이었다. 한편 두폭 평？치의 대수를 Ycnr, 령의 수를 X축으로 하여 회귀직선식을 구한 결과 LogY=-0.819+0.1872X(=)었고 Dyar의 법칙과 동일한 기하급수적 생장을 하였다. 각영기별 두폭의 평균치와 Dyar의 법칙과 적합도는 1령 유충이 94.7%, 2령은 98.3, 3령은 98.7, 5령은 94.6 6령은 92.2%었다. Dyar의 항수 (K)는 1.54였다.

인공사료에 의한 실내사육에서 부활율은 97.9%, 3령까지의 생존율은 83.3%였다. 3령유충에서의 용활율은 톱밥을 이용한 집단사육에서 82.5%, 개체사육에서 48.5%, 집단사육에서 37.5%로서 톱밥을 이용한 집단사육에서 가장 높았다. 유화율은 톱밥을 이용한 집단사육에서 90.9%, 개체사육에서 85.2%, 집단사육에서 86.7%로 거의 비슷하였다. 톱밥을 이용한 집단 사육법은 개체사육법에 비하여 사육방법이 용이하고 인공사료의 양을 줄일 수 있다.

This study was conducted to identify the insecticidal effect of a mixture of sophora extract and Bacillus thuringiensis against Spodoptera exigua on potted chinese cabbage in both laboratory and plastic house condition. In laboratory condition, mortality of larvae by BT (1×105, 1×106, 1×107 cfu ml-1) alone was 27.5%, 51.3% and 92.5%, respectively, which was depend upon concentration of BT. Control efficacy of the mixture of BT and sophora extract was 98.8%, 88.8% and 91.3% which was higher than BT treatment only. The mixture of sophora and lower BT concentration was showed more increase of control efficacy. Anti-feedant effect by BT was depend on concentration of BT. At field experiment, the mixture of BT and sophora extract appeared higher mortality (72.2%, 67.8%, 61.1%) than BT treatment only (14.4%, 26.7%, 66.7%) similar with laboratory experiment. The mixture was less affected by environmental condition at field than BT only. Therefore, for effective control of beet armyworm without possibility to develop resistance against BT at farm, treatment of the mixture of sophora extract (0.033%) and BT (1×105 cfu ml-1) would be considered more effective than BT treatment only.

This study was carried out to identify the control effect of entomopathogenic microagent against Spodoptera exigua on organic chinese cabbage. In laboratory condition, insecticidal activity of 4 commercial BT pesticides against S. exigua were lower than 10% against second instar S. exigua. The insecticidal activity of entomopathogenic nematode were 33.3%, 83.3% and 100% at the concentration of 1×102, 3×102, 1×103 nematodes/ml, respectively. Mixture of BT and nematode showed growth inhibition against S. exigua larvae. S. exigua nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeNPV) of 105 PIBs/ml showed more than 70% insecticial activity. The yield of SeNPV was increased as in higher initial inoculation concentration of NPV, food supply, and growth temperature increased. In greenhouse experiment, the control value of BT and nematode mixture treatment was higher than BT and nematode treatment alone against S. exigua. In treatment of 107 PIBs/ml of SeNPV, S. exigua was controlled completely. In farm condition, mixture of microbial agent and organic agricultural material showed higher control value against lepidopteran pest including S. exigua than BT single treatment.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of insecticides on control of Spodoptera exigua, growth characteristics, and dry root yield in the cultivation of Alisma plantago after early maturing rice cropping. All pesticides treated had no effect on growth and flowering rate of Alisma plantago. The major insecticides were teflubenzuron Wp, 5%, tebufenozide Wp, 8%, iufenuron Ec, 5%, and tebufenozide Wp, 5%. Dry root yield were increased largely with tebufenozide Wp, 5%(20 g/20 l), insecticide than the other insecticides and no control. All insecticides had no injury with standard dosage. On the other hand, all insecticides had slight injury in the double dosage level for the Alisma plantago.
