본 연구는 소나무재선충병의 피해를 받은 토양생태계의 합리적인 관리를 위한 기초정보를 제공할 목적으로 이루어졌다. 토양온도와 수분함량은 완전벌채지 15.3℃, 11.5%, 일부벌채지 14.4℃, 13.5%, 대조구 13.7℃, 14.8%로 나타났다. 토양유기물 함량은 완전벌채지가 2.11~2.64%, 일부벌채지 2.26~3.33%, 대조구 2.27~3.10%의 범위에 있은 것으로 분석되었다. 토양호흡량은 계절적인 차이가 있었는데 여름철에 높았으며, 토양온도와 정의 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 평균 토양호흡량은 완전벌채지 0.24, 일부벌채지 0.36, 대조구 0.32 gCO2/㎡/hr로 나타나 소나무재선충 피해목만 벌채한 일부벌채지의 토양호흡량이 가장 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 소나무재선충병 피해지 산림토양의 Q10값은 2.39에서 2.68 사이에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 조사기간을 통한 년간 토양호흡량은 완전벌채지, 일부벌채지, 대조구에서 각각 8.1, 15.6, 14.6 tCO2/ha/yr으로 분석되었다.

To screen highly active Bacillus thuringiensis isolates against Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae), 46 B. thuringiensis was isolated from 115 samples obtained from several crop soils. Especially, B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki CAB133 and CAB162 isolates showed 100% mortality against S. litura. LD50 values of CAB133, CAB162 and HD-1 strains of B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki were 0.089, 3.144 and 0.513 ㎍/㎖ against 2nd larva of μ S. litura, respectively. The weight of 3rd larva of S. litura which were fed crystal inclusion protein (1.267 ㎍/㎖) with B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki CAB133 was about 30 times lass than control group. CAB133 and CAB 162 strains of B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki which were taken a highly toxity against S. litura were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, and estimated the molecular weight of the Cry proteins. Their serological identification by H serotypes were showed B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (3abc) type.

For the development of friendly environmental control of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua that is too hard to control in the field, 25 insecticides were chosen from 58 registered to the beet armyworm, and bioassayed. There are 12 insecticides with neurotoxical activities, 10 with insect growth regulators and 3 Bacillus thuringiensis products. Among 12 insecticides with neurotoxical activities, mortality of S. exigua was 100% with emamectin benzoate (EC) and indoxacarb (WP) within 3 and 5 days after application, respectively. Otherwise, WG and SC of indoxacarb, Indoxacarb + etofenprox (WP) and pyridalyl (EW) were showed up to 91%. Methoxyfenozide + spinosad (SC) was better than any other insect growth regulator as 100% mortality within 3 days after application. And methoxyfenozide (WP), tebufenozide (WP) and methoxyfenozide (SC) were 92% by 5 days. However, 3 kinds of B. thuringiensis products were showed under 35% mortality within 5 days from first spray.

Bioassay of mosquito, Culex pipiens molestus, larva was investigated by several environment-friendly insecticides. These insecticides were Novaluron as chitin synthesis inhibitor, Metho-xyfenozide as ecdysone agonist, Pyriproxyfen as juvenile hormone mimic, and Spiromesifen as lipid biosynthesis inhibitor. The 50% lethal concentration (LC₅₀) of these insecticides were 0.00039, 0.07193, 0.65006 and 0.04839 ppm, respectively. Novaluron has lower concentration than any other insecticide. To determine the treatment time against larval stages, insecticides were applied to different larval stages of C. pipiens molestus. Mortality ratios of mosquito larva treated with Novaluron were 100.0, 84.5, 71.0 and 48.5% on 2, 4, 7 and 10 days after hatching from eggs, respectively. Otherwise, with the other insecticides, mortality ratios were under 80% with 2 days old larva. When exposure periods were tested to 3 or 4 days old larva against 4 insecticides, at least 3 hours were needed to 100% control effect against Novaluron, and over 12 hours with other insecticides.

경상북도내의 금속광산, 공장 및 공업지역의 토양의 오염도를 조사하고 중금속 오염토양 중에 분포하는 미생물 flora의 정량적 평가를 위하여 청정지역인 독도토양과 비교한 결과, 일반세균의 경우 10~100배 낮은 분포율을 나타내었으며, 6가크롬 오염토양 중 곰팡이는 거의 검출되지 많았다. 방선균은 수은 오염토양의 경우 6.7X105~7.5X107 cfu g-1, 6가크롬 오염토양 내 방선균 수는 4.8X104~5.0

본 연구에서는 직접 제작된 전도유체(electrorheological fluid)용 수직진동 rhemeter 기기상의 구조 해석 및 실험을 실시하였다. 수직진동 rheomether는 간단하게 제작이 가능하고, 고전압 발생장치를 연결하므로 전동유체의 점탄성 특성을 비교적 쉽게 측정할 수 있다. Rheometer의 구조적 변수와 측정된 힘, 변형 등을 이용하여 복소 점도(complex viscosity), 복소 전단 변형률(complex shear modulus), loss tangent 등의 선형 점탄성 물질 함수를 직접 계산할 수 있으며, corn starch를 polybutene/kerosene에 분산시킨 전동유체를 이용하여 전기장하의 점탄성을 측정하였다.
