Biological control of Tetranychus urticae by Phytoseiulus persimilis was observed in eggplant greenhouse for spring and autumn season culture. Tetranychus urticae was controlled to low density of less than 1 mite from June 24 after P. persimilis were released 3 times at rate of 10 per plant on June 1, 11, and 18, 2004 in spring season experiment. The population of Tetranychus urticae was also less than 1 mite per eggplant leaf from September 1 to October 22 after three times releases of 10 P. persimilis in autumn season experiment. In Phytoseiulus persimilis released plot, the percentage of leaves with T. urticae adults and nymphs were 8.6~13.3% and 5% or less in spring and autumn season experiment. The density of T. urticae was from 1 to 2 on leaves with T. urticae adults and nymphs.

This studies were carried out in summer season to increase high temperature tolerance using hydrogen peroxide treatments on cucumber in greenhouse. The water stress of cucumber in greenhouse by the hydrogen peroxide treatments showed as control〉250 mM〉500 mM treatments in order. The photosynthesis rate of cucumber at 30℃ did not show difference with each hydrogen peroxide treatment in temperature controlled greenhouse. However, the photosynthesis rate of cucumber in the control and hydrogen peroxide treatments at 40℃ was significantly different. The photosynthesis rate of cucumber in combined treatment with 1,000 mg·L-1 CO2 supply and hydrogen peroxide was also higher than control, however, there was no different of photosynthesis in 250 mM and 500 mM treatment. The value of Fv/Fm and Fm/Fo of chlorophyll fluorescent in 500 mM hydrogen peroxide treatment at 40℃ was highest. Also the activity of POD, the antioxidant enzyme, was higher with high hydrogen peroxide concentration than the other treatments. The high temperature limits for growth were 43℃ in the control, 44℃ in the 250 mM and 46℃ in the 500 mM according to analyze chlorophyll fluorescent Fo. The high temperature tolerance in cucumber increased approximately 3℃ by the hydrogen peroxide treatments under this experiment conditions.

Catch of garden thrips, Frankliniella intonsa, on sticky traps was assessed by color and height in commercial plastic vinyl house strawberry crops grown on 40-㎝-high trellises. Yellow, blue and white sticky cards were tested for color attractiveness, and upper (50 ㎝), lower (10 ㎝ above the floor) and ground were for height. At each height, trapped thrips on yellow, blue and white were significantly different. Blue sticky cards were significantly greater than traps on yellow and white. The trapped thrips were also significantly greatest at 50 ㎝ above the floor, less at lower and ground. However, there is no significantly different the population of garden thrips on the flower in each tested site.

Effectiveness of Orius strigicollis (Poppius) and Amblyseius cucumeris (Oudemans) as natural enemies against thrips were evaluated on greenhouse green pepper, sweet pepper and cucumber respectively. Control efficacy was calculated by the formula, (D<SUB>control</SUB> - D<SUB>treatment</SUB>)/D<SUB>control</SUB> × 100, where D<SUB>control</SUB> is the average density of thrips on the plots in which any natural enemy was not released and D<SUB>treatment</SUB> is the average density of thrips on the plots in which natural enemies were released respectively. As a result, control efficacies of O. strigicollis against Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) on green pepper and sweet pepper were 14.3~99.5% and 21.6~98.3%, respectively. In addition, control efficacy of it against Thrips palmi Kany on cucumber was 61.2-74.4%. Control efficacies of A. cucumeris against F. occidentalis on green pepper and sweet pepper were 12.9~38.3% and 17.1~87.0%, respectively. Control efficacy of it against T. palmi on cucumber was 90.4~97.4%. Field evaluation showed that the prompt applications of natural enemies were effective to reduce the density of thrips. In detail, to control F. occidentalis effectively on green pepper and sweet pepper in spring season, five to six individuals of O. strigicollis per crops should be released three to six times continuously. To control T. palmi effectively on cucumber in autumn, more than 100 individuals of A. cucumeris per crop should be released four times repeatedly.

팬 앤 패드 시스템은 국내외적으로 온실냉방에서 많이 이용되고 있으며, 그 효율도 매우 높지만 온실 내부의 온도분포가 불균일하고 설치비와 유지비가 많이드는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 팬 앤 패드 시스템의 설계를 위한 자료를 제공할 목적으로 팬 앤 패드시스템 설치온실의 온도분포를 예측하기 위한 CFD 모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 모델은 실험 데이터를 이용하여 검증한 결과 실험치와 예측치가 잘 일치하여 모델의 응용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 개발된 모델을 이용하여 온실 외부의 풍속과 풍향, 팬과 패드의 높이, 환기율에 따른 실내유속, 차광율 및 온실의 길이가 팬 앤 패드 냉방온실의 실내 온도경사에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 실내 온도경사를 감소시키기 위하여는 온실 설치 지역의 주풍향을 고려하고 팬과 패드의 높이가 적절해야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과 높은 환기율과 차광율은 팬 앤 패드 냉방 온실의 온도경사를 감소시키는데 기여할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 팬 앤 패드 냉방 온실의 온도를 적정 수준으로 유지시키기 위해서는 외부기상조건, 차광 및 환기율에 따라 온실의 길이를 제한해야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 개발된 CFD모델은 다양한 조건에서 팬 앤 패드 냉방온실의 설계와 평가에 유용한 도구가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
