To investigate resistance of Myzus persicae, which is resistant to etofenprox belonging to pyrethriods, to other insecticides, fenpropathrin and thiamethoxam, mortality and LC₅₀ values for these two insecticides against the etofenprox-resistant and -susceptible populations were obtained and EPG analysis for feeding behaviors of thiamethoxam or fenpropathrin treated and non-treated M. persicae was conducted. For fenpropathrin, mortality after 48 h treatment was 28 and 29%, respectively for the resistant and susceptible population. The LC₅₀ value was 193.15 and 93.46 ppm, respectively. For thiamethoxam, mortality after 48 h treatment was 87 and 57%, respectively for the resistant and susceptible population. The LC₅₀ value was 3.17 and 30.34 ppm, respectively. There was no significant difference in feeding behavior between fenprorpathrin treated and non-treated M. persicae. They showed a continuous feeding pattern. However, contact signal frequency increased in the thiamethoxam treated M. persicae 1 hour after treatment and significant difference was shown.

최근 들어, 많은 농민들은 종합적인 해충관리를 행하고 있다. 이러한 과정에서 종종 천적에 독성이 강하거나 악영향을 미치는 화학농약이 무분별하게 혼용되어 효과적인 해충방제에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구에서는 파프리카에 등록된 살충제, 살균제, 살비제에 대해 파프리카 주요 발생해충인 가루이류, 진딧물류 방제 천적으로 주로 이용하고 있는 기생성 천적인 콜레마니진디벌(Aphidius colemani), 어비진디벌(Aphidius ervi), 진디면충좀벌(Aphelinus asychis), 온실가루이좀벌(Encarsia formosa), 황온좀벌(Eretmocerus eremicus)에 대한 직․간접적인 영향을 실내에서 평가하였다. 콜레마니진디벌의 경우 2종의 약제가 직접살포에 의해서는 100%의 사망율을 나타내어 높은 독성을 나타냈고, 간접살포에 의해서는 처리 후 14일까지도 50%이하의 생존율을 나타냈다. 어비진디벌의 경우 살충제 5종, 살균제 3종, 살비제 4종의 약제를 실험한 결과, 직접살포에 의해서는 9종의 약제에서 높은 생존율을 나타냈고, 간접살포에 의해서는 처리 후 7일 이후에 50%이상의 생존율을 보여 비교적 안전한 것으로 확인되었다. 진디면충좀벌의 경우 12종의 약제를 실험한 결과 직접살포에 의해서는 3종의 약제에 100%의 사망율을 나타내어 높은 독성을 나타냈고, 온실가루이좀벌의 경우 4종의 약제가 직접살포에서는 높은 생존율을, 간접살포에서는 7일 이후에 모든 약제에 안전한 것으로 확인되었다. 황온좀벌의 경우 직접살포에 의해서는 2종의 약제에서 높은 생존율을 나타낸 것으로 확인되었다.

Etofenprox에 대해 저항성과 감수성을 보이는 복숭아혹진딧물(Myzus persicae) 개체군을 가지고, 진딧물이 섭식하는 동안 약제에 노출되었을 때 반응하는 양상을 EPG패턴을 비교함으로써 처리된 약제에 대한 저항성 발달 여부를 검토하였다. 본 실험에서 사용한 복숭아혹진딧물 야외와 실내개체군은 etofenprox의 추천농도 처리 후 48시간에 각각 36.7과 86.7%의 살충율을 보였으며, 반수치사농도에 있어 30배 이상의 차이를 나타내어 야외에서 채집한 개체군의 경우 etofenprox에 저항성을 나타내는 개체군으로 사용하였다. 또한 교차저항성 발달 여부를 확인하기 위해 fenpropathrin 처리 후 살충율을 조사한 결과, 두 개체군 모두에서 각각 28%와 29%로 낮은 살충율을 보였으며, thiamethoxam에 대해서는 48시간 후에 저항성개체군이 57%, 감수성 개체군은 79%를 나타내었다. 또한 EPG 기록시작 후 1시간 뒤, 약제를 살포하고, potential drop, contact signal의 빈도 수, 총 섭식 시간, 총 구침을 빼고 있는 시간, pathway activity 패턴 등을 조사하였다. Etofenprox 처리 후 조사한 결과, 처리 전의 섭식행동에 있어서는 유사하였으나, 처리 후 저항성 개체군의 경우는 섭식 및 탐침 시간이 감수성 개체군에 비해 훨씬 길게 나타나 약제에 노출된 이후에도 활발히 일어나는 경향을 보였으며, fenpropathrin의 결과에서는 조사한 EPG 조사패턴 모두에서 두 개체군간 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.

EMS(ethyl methansulphonate)는 alkylalting 물질에 속하는 화학적 돌연변이원으로 초파리, 꼬마선충, 애기장대, 모기 등 다양한 개체에 single-site mutation을 일으키는 것으로 잘 알려져 있다. 또한 자외선은 곤충이 자외선에 노출됐을 때 치사율이 낮고, 노출량을 쉽고 정확하게 측정할 수 있어 돌연변이유발에 빈번하게 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 색상패턴을 나타내는 무당벌레의 알과 번데기에 EMS와 자외선이 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해, 0.1%, 1% 농도의 EMS를 처리하였고, 장파선 자외선인 UV-A(360nm)에 각각 1시간, 12시간 동안 노출시킨 후, 이들의 발육기간, 성비, 색상패턴의 발현비율 등을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 각 농도의 EMS와 UV-A를 알에 처리했을 때, 발육기간은 무처리구와 비교했을 때 큰 차이는 없었으나, 성비의 경우에 있어서는 EMS(무처리는 39.3:60.7, 0.1%처리는 52.9:47.1)와 UV-A(무처리는 39.7:60.3, 0.1%처리는 66.5:33.4) 처리구에서 암컷의 비율이 감소해 성비의 불균형이 확인되었다. 또한 EMS와 UV-A를 처리한 번데기의 우화율은 무처리구와 비교했을 때 큰 차이가 없었으나, 우화한 성충의 성비를 조사했을 경우에는 EMS를 처리했을 때 암컷의 비율이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 유충시기의 다리와 우화한 성충에서 기형 개체를 확인할 수 있어 EMS와 UV-A가 무당벌레에 돌연변이원으로 작용함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The changes of feeding pattern and the amount of insecticide penetrated into the leaf were monitored for 420 min after treatment of three concentrations of dinotefuran. At about 30 min after treatment of insecticide, the overall feeding pattern in EPG (Electrical Penetration Graph) monitoring was started to change, and there was significant difference in proportions of NP (non-penetration), PA (pathway activity), and phloem-feeding patterns among the different concentrations of dinotefuran treatment. Especially, as the amount of insecticide penetrated into a leaf increased, the reactive behaviors against this insecticide such as withdrawal of proboscis and movements of stylet of aphid were more quickly exhibited. And also, total time at which the proboscis of the aphids did not penetrate the plant was getting longer. The amount of dinotefuran penetrated into a leaf was monitored with HPLC. When the recommended concentration (100 ㎎/L) of the insecticide was treated, 5.24~7.24 ㎎/L of the insecticide was detected from the leaf, and the proboscis of the aphids was apparently withdrawn from the leaf at approximately 60 minutes after treatment of this insecticide.

Road-map for the environmental friendly integrated pest management (IPM) of insect pests was drawn up on the strawberry vinyl-houses of farmer’s field. Major insect pests were occurred Tetranychus urticae and Aphis gossypii during the strawberry plant seeding in the vinyl house and open field. Also, same insect pests were occurred in the vinyl house during harvesting season of strawberry. For the control of T. urticae and A. gossypii, Phytoseiulus persimilis and Aphidius colemani as natural enemies were input to the vinyl house, respectively. However, because these natural enemies could not control insect pest populations, acaricide and insecticide were sprayed. Then natural enemies were input again in the vinyl house. Natural enemies could not endure the intense cold and differences of temperature and relative humidity between day and night during strawberry harvesting season. So, their behavior and control activity of pests were more decrease than pests. Firstly, natural enemies are input in the vinyl house during the early breeding season of strawberry, secondly, acaricides and insecticide are sprayed for the control of mites and aphids, respectively, during the middle breeding season in the hard winter. Finally, natural enemies are re-input in the vinyl house during the middle and late breeding season.

Many kinds of environment friendly agricultural materials (EFAMs) were used for the plant protection, furthermore they support the growth of crops in the greenhouses and the kindly environment friendly farming. Natural enemies might be used for control of insect pest with EFAMs at the same space and time. For testing the toxicity of EFAMs against to natural enemies, 10 EFAMs were selected and tested in small greenhouses and farm"s fields. In case of Harmonia axyridis larva, there was no predacious activity against cotton aphids in the block with EFAMMo L, EFAMPE D, EFAMME G and EFAMAE A, otherwise, aphid population was rapidly decreased in the control block without EFAMs. Both of Trialeurodes vaporariorum and Encarsia formosa population were slightly decreased in the block with EFAMs. There were significantly decreased in the block with IEFAM C, FEFAM D, EFAMSM Band EFAMPE D compared with control area. Especially, there was significantly maintained a very low population, both T. vaporariorum and E. formosa in the block with EFAMMo C. The parasitized ratio of Aphidius colemani is also very low in the block with EFAMs compared with control area. In the block with IEFAM C, FEFAM D, EFAMPE D and EFAMMo L, there were significantly different with control area in the number of mummies. Otherwise, in case of Diglyphus isaea and Liriomyza trifolii, there was no significantly different between blocks with and without EFAMs. In the block with EFAMMo C, Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis populations were significantly maintained a very low level. However, the population of T. urticae was increased, but P. persimilis was decreased in the block with EFAMMo L.

The multicolored Asian lady beetles (Harmonia axyridis) has characteristic color patterns, which show great variability within species. Up to now, it has been well known that main factors affected on individual color pattern variations in the population of H. axyridis are external, physical, and environmental characteristics. Indeed, there is as yet no evidence to indicate whether the variation is genetic or environmental factors. Also the factors which produce this variation are unknown in this species, although it is suspected that much of the variation is under genetic control. However, the genetic relationships among many of color types were investigated by observing the progeny of each particular pairs. It is worth mentioning a few particular breeding cases to illustrate certain facets of variability, and to indicate examples suitable for genetic analysis of the color pattern variation.

The external ultrastructural morphology and distribution of antennal sensilla and hair-pencils of Palpita indica (Saunder) were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The antennal flagellum of male and female has six types of sensilla: long trichodea, short trichodea, chaetica, coeloconicum around spines, camaniformia and styloconica. There are sexual differences in antennae of P. indica. The female antenna has a coeloconicum sensillum without spines nearby the long trichodea sensilla on ninth flagellomere. Otherwise, auricillica sensilla are distribute on the basal segment of male antenna. These structures are not showed in the female antenna. There are a lot of pores on the hair tufts of the male hair-pencils.

The multicolored Asian ladybird beetle (Harmonia axyridis) has been commonly used with biological control agents for control of several kinds of aphids in agroecosystems. Also, environment friendly agricultural materials have been commonly applied in crop fields because the government held down pesticide application and environment friendly agricultures are gradually increased with consumer"s desires. The multicolored Asian ladybird beetles may be directly or indirectly under the influence of environment friendly agricultural materials in crop fields. The insecticidal environment friendly agricultural materials (IEFAMs) might be safe against each developmental stage of multicolored Asian ladybird beetle. Fungicidal environment friendly agricultural materials (FEFAMs) had a miner effect to each developmental stage of multicolored Asian ladybird beetle with the exception of FEFAM A. Environment friendly agricultural materials contained useful soil microorganisms (EFAMSMs) C and H might be down the hatching rate of eggs, and EFAMSM A and F had a killing effect to 1st instar of lady beetles. Environment friendly agricultural materials contained plant extracts (EFAMPEs) A and D might be suffered effect a deathblow of egg hatching with lady beetles. Otherwise, there was a miner effect to lady beetles with the rest of tested environment friendly agricultural materials.

Many kinds of environment friendly agricultural materials were used for the insect pest control and the control of plant diseases, furthermore they support the growth of crops in the greenhouses and the kindly environment friendly farming. Phytoseiulus persimilis might be used for control of two-spotted mites with environment friendly agricultural materials at the same time. For testing the toxicity of environment friendly agricultural materials against to P. persimilis, 61 environment friendly agricultural materials were selected by material contents and using methods. When environment friendly agricultural materials were directly sprayed on P. persimilis, IEFAM C, FEFAM A, EFAMSM A, D, EFAMPE A, EFAMCh B, EFAMME A, and EFAMMo C killed over 90%. However, there was no effects to FEFAM C, D, EFAMSM C, EFAML A, EFAMME C, E, H, J, EFAMMo G and I against P. persimilis. P. persimilis adults were not survived in vial for 48 hours after sprayed and dried with the environment friendly agricultural materials, for examples, EFAMSM I, EFAMME A, EFAMMo A, C, and I. Otherwise, EFAMCh C and EFAMMo B were no effects to P. persimilis. Some environment friendly agricultural materials are of different qualities, and consequently test of their toxity have to necessary.
