Metcalfa pruinosa was first reported in 2009 in Gimhae persimmon farms in Korea, and in Chungnam province in 2011, they first occurred in Dangjin and Taean. M. pruinosa adults are known to lay eggs among the crevices beneath the bark of the host plants, and they are reported to lay mainly on Robinia pseuroacacia trees. However, in order to solve the problem that the time and effort are too much to investigate by moving the 10 cm branch of R. pseudoacacia and removing the whole bark, we investigated the number of wintering eggs at different parts of branches from R. pseudoacacia and surveyed occurrence of them in Chungnam province. 14.5 times and 5.4 times more eggs were observed in the hair tissues of the twigs and thorms bases than the surface of R. pseudoacacia trees, respectively. There was no difference in the number of branches according to the thickness of branches. M. pruinosa in Chungnam province were mainly occurred in Taean, Geumsan and Dangjin, and showed patterns that occurred mainly in highways.

We selected the trap plant that could attract Ricania spp. adult effectively and the systemic chemicals that could beused at the same time in 2016. Ricania spp. has recently spread throughout Chungnam province since its occurrence in2010. We found that sunflowers could attract them effectively in pre-oviposition period of Ricania spp. and selected thesystemic chemicals could be used with sunflower simultaneously. The sunflower attracted their adults about 90 to 95percent in pre-oviposition period. The systemic chemicals was dinotefuran SG 50% and the control effect of it was 96.2%.The control effect of dinotefuran transferred to sunflower was excellent, and the density of adult in blackberry field couldbe kept low in pre-poviposion period of Ricania spp. The above results show the possibility of using sunflower as atrap plant to control Ricania spp. adults.
