For the setting of control timing, the number of overwintering eggs on host plants and population density of Metcalfa pruinosa nymphs and adults was surveyed in a sesame fields. According to a survey of the overwintering eggs density of M. pruinosa on host plants, they were many in the order of Mugunghwa trees, Oak trees, and Acacia trees. Examined sesame branches within the 50cm was not found population densities of M. pruinosa nymphs and adults, and it was also very low in the sticky trap. The peak density of the adult was highest at 0.13 per trap on 11 after being first investigated on July 3 in a string wrap survey, and then decreased. In a sesame fields, it is judged that the control of the M. pruinosa is due to be 35 days after the end of the insect hatching, and that distribution of host plants is more important in the outside region than inside region.

This study was performed to select the high-yield soybean cultivar suitable for the mid part of Korea and to provide as a basic data for improving productivity of the farmhouse. To this, Daewon as a control and four soybean cultivars such as Uram, Taeseon, Saegeum and Seonpung soybean seeds known that high-yield varieties developed after 2010 were selected. Growth characteristics and functional isoflavone contents of five soybeans were field tested at the field in Goesan, Chungbuk during 2014 and 2015. In comparison with Daewon, maturity date was recorded the earliest at Taesun with 15th Oct. Height of the first pod for the mechanical harvesting have a benefit to Uram (16.8 cm) and Taeseon (14.6 cm), however; shattering percentage of Taeseon were showed the high value of 11.2%. Productivity of Uram, Seonpung and Taesun were increased with 20, 9, and 5 %, respectively, compare to that of Daewon. Total isoflavones contents (μg/g) of five soybeans were ordered as Saegeum (1222.2) > Uram (1111.9) > Seonpung (897.2) > Daewon (885.8) > Taesun (829.5). Total isoflavones contents when soil mulching compare to the non-mulching were increased 206.6 μg/g at Daewon and 460.8 μg/g at Uram soybean.
