Golden apple snails(GAS) are native to warm regions such as Central and South America and Southeast Asia, and were first introduced as a high-protein food. GAS are omnivorous and have a habit of eating plants submerged in water, so they have been used for eco-friendly weed control in rice fields since 1992. When the GAS was first introduced, it was thought that it would be impossible to overwinter in Korea. However after 2000, overwintering individuals were founded and damage to rice occurred and the development of means to control GAS has been required. In this study, we tested the effectiveness of an eco-friendly pest control agent using Styrax japonicus that grow naturally in Korea. As a result of exposing GAS to S. japonicus fruit powder, a 100% molluscicidal effect was confirmed at 66.7ppm. To investigate the duration of effect, treatment was performed at the same concentration and molluscicidal effect of more than 90% was up to 3 days after treatment. The killing effect of each part of the S. japonicus was compared, and the seed extracts showed no killing effect at all concentrations, while the sarcocarp extracts showed a 100% killing effect up to 33.3ppm, and the fruit extracts showed a 100% killing effect up to 200ppm.

때죽나무의 발근 향상을 위한 IBA와 붕소의 적정 농도, 침지시간, 그리고 붕소와 IBA의 혼용처리 효과 를 알아보기 위해 실험을 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 때죽나무 반숙지삽수의 발근율과 발근수는 IBA 7,000mg·L-1 순간침지, IBA 100mg·L-1+boron 20mg·L-1 과 IBA 100mg·L-1+boron 60mg·L-1 혼용처리에서 향상되었으며 발근율, 발근수 그리고 생체중은 IBA단 일처리보다 붕소와 IBA의 혼용처리에서 높았다. IBA 단일처리에서 적정 농도는 100mg ·L-1과 200mg·L-1 사이였으며, 적정 침지시간은 3시간 이었다. 이에 저농 도의 IBA와 붕소의 혼용처리는 IBA 7,000mg ·L-1의 고농도처리를 대체할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
