As increased the cultivating areas of several minor crops for medicine such as Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Astragalus membranaceus, Taraxacum platycarpum, Gynanchum wilfordii, and Purple granadilla, the occurrence of major pests and their damages were severed. Primarily occurred pests on five minor crops were observed small in size pests such as whiteflies, aphids and thrips, but the other pests are insignificantly infest. Whiteflies showed higher density in G. uralensis but its damage was insignificant level. Aphids were showed higher density at June in all minor crops and then sharply decreased the density with lower degree of damage. The high damage on initial growth stage will be judge to affect on the yield. Thrips on T. platycarpum showed higher density with 44.1%, compare to other crops, sharply increased the density in late-June and optimal peak in mid-July and decreased in late-Aug. Conclusively, major pests on crops, green peach aphid, mites species on A. membranaceus and G. uralensis, olender aphid, mites species and thrips on G. wilfordii were damaged. Detailed investigation and analysis for economic value of the damaged pest for the continual production will be promoted and then followed the procedure the registration of agrochemicals.

Spider community was surveyed at Nakdonggang River which is the longest river (525 km and 23,384 km2) located East-south part of Korea. Nakdonggang river is developing for water management and environmental conservation including restoration of river ecosystem under “The Four-River Restoration Project”. Sampling was made 3 occasions from June to August in 2009. Eight survey sites were selected from both sides of river in Andong, Sangju, Gumi and Seongju prefectures. Spiders were collected with sweep net for on the plants above ground and pitfall traps for on the ground. A total of 94 species of 71 genera in 24 families were identified from 805 collected spiders. Species richness was high in Salticidae (18 species, 19.1%), Araneidae (12 species, 12.8%), Lycosidae (9 species, 9.6%) in order. Wandering spiders (55 species occupied 58.5%, 493 individuals occupied 61.2%) were higher than webbing spiders (39 species occupied 41.5%, 493 individuals occupied 61.2%) in species richness and abundance. Dominant species were Tetragnatha praedonia (Tetragnathidae) and Neoscona adianta (Araneidae) in webbing spiders, and Anahita fauna (Ctenidae), Pirata procurvus (Lycosidae) and Gnaphosa kompirensis (Gnaphosidae) in wandering spiders with abundance. Collectively, most spiders collected from this study were water preferring spiders and showed different community structure compared to other reports from terrestrial spider fauna. Present result will bevaluable to compare the effect of development on the arthropod fauna after completion of the project.

This study was conducted to estimate the control thresholds (CTs) at different larval densities of Oides decempunctatus Billberg (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) of Campbell early in the vineyard and investigated life cycle. Each stage of O. decempunctatus was sampled 18 times from May to September in 2010~2012. The seasonal occurrence of O. decempunctatus showed the highest peak in mid-late June and mid-late August. Overwintered O. decempunctatus's eggs were hatched from late May to early June. Larva period was from late May to mid July and adults appeared in mid July. The percentage of leaf damage (Y) of Campbell early inoculated by different densities of O. decempunctatus (X, no. of larvae/fruiting mother branch) for six weeks was estimated by Y= 0.498X+2.041 (R2=0.988) during vegetation period. The decreasing rate of soluble solid (Y) after grape harvest of Campbell early damaged by different densities of O. decempunctatus (X) was estimated by Y= - 0.046X+15.3 (R2=0.8543). Based of the relationships between the densities of O. decempunctatus larvae and the index of reducing soluble solid of Campbell early, the number of larvae (2nd to 3rd instar) which decreased less than 15°Bx loss of soluble solid was determined as the injury level of 7/fruiting mother branch.

A new orange-red colored standard rose (Rosa hybrida Hort.) cultivar ‘Scarla’ was developed at the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extention Services (JARES) after bud selection and line selection for three times from 1999, and its characteristics w
