국제 무역량 증가와 기후변화에 따라 아열대성 해충이 온대지역으로 침입하는 사례가 늘고 있다. 과실파리과는 초파리과와 더불어 두 과실 파리 분류군 가운 데 하나로 약 5,000 종 이상이 포함되어 있다. Anastrepha, Rhagoletis, Ceratitis 및 Bactrocera 속에 속한 일부 과실파리류가 높 은 침입력으로 여러 온대 지역의 과실과 채소류에 막대한 피해를 일으키고 있다. 본 종설은 이들 과실파리류들의 침입과 정착을 억제하는 기술이 비교적 잘 개발되어 적용된 Bactrocera 속에 속한 해충류를 중심으로 고찰하였다. 이들 과실파리류에 대해 많은 방제 기술이 개발되었지만, 효율 적인 종합해충관리 프로그램 개발이 아직 널리 정착되지 않고 있다. 이에 본 종설은 과실파리를 방제하는 여러 기술을 설명하고, 이 가운데 아열 대 군도에서 실시된 종합해충관리의 성공사례를 소개한다. 아울러 국내에 큰 피해를 주는 주요 과실파리의 발생생태와 방제기술도 정리하였다.

동소동속종인 복숭아순나방과 복숭아순나방붙이는 우리나라에서 여러 가지 과수의 주요 해충으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서 우리는 장미 과(Rosaceae) 과수인 복숭아나무, 자두나무, 사과나무, 배나무, 모과나무의 과실을 가해하는 복숭아순나방과 복숭아순나방붙이 유충을 채집하 여 분자동정법을 이용하여 종을 동정하여 과종별로 두 종의 분포 비율을 비교하였다. 유충을 동정한 결과, 복숭아 과실을 가해하는 종은 거의 대 부분 복숭아순나방이었던 반면, 자두 과실을 가해하는 것은 모두 복숭아순나방붙이인 것으로 나타났다. 사과, 배, 모과 과실은 두 종이 상당하는 비율로 같이 분포하였는데, 사과와 모과에서는 복숭아순나방붙이에 의한 피해가 상대적으로 많았으나 유의한 우점은 발견되지 않았고, 배 과실 에서는 복숭아순나방이 유의하게 우점하여 분포하였다. 이 결과들은 과수원에서 이 해충들의 합리적인 관리전략을 수립하는데 유용할 것이다.

The sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) and the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) are major insect pests that causes crop damage worldwide by piercing leaves, sucking sap and transmitting numerous plant viruses. A new strategy for IPM, the push–pull method uses a combination of repellent intercrops (push) and alluring trap plants (pull) to manipulate the distribution of insect pests and control their populations. So, we surveyed the responses of these pests of tomato to several plants in green house. Lavandula angustifolia, Petunia hybrid, Ocimum basilicum and Rosmarinus officinalis showed about forty-percent push response to F. occidentalis in tomato. However, Gypsophila paniculata attracted the F. occidentalis in tomato on the contrary. Pelargonium tomentosum showed about fifty-percent push response to B. tabaci in tomato. However, Mentha spicata and Gypsophila paniculata attracted the B. tabaci in tomato. The utilization technique of these plants should be more inspected in further study.

Pseudococcus longispinus, a notorious cosmopolitan pest species of mealybugs, known to be distributed indoors in Korea since 2002, is found to be mixed with another species, Pseudococcus orchidicola. Finding P. orchidicola as a pest of tropical plants in Korea is rather unexpected because of their main distribution in Pacific area and South Asia. However, all the available information from morphology, molecule and advices on identification from mealybug specialists indicated this is best matching P. orchidicola. Morphological, molecular and some biological notes on P. orchidicola are provided with some adult and nymphal images, and compared with P. longispinus. A full discussion mainly on identity and distribution of P. orchidicola is given.

For building up the Tephritid Tree of Life, we have so far accumulated fresh samples of 570 species of 220 tephritid genera, covering 11% and 44% of World species and genera, respectively. Based on the molecular systematics approach, the followings are examples of our findings: (1) two monophyletic groups within the superfamily Tephritoidea were clearly recognized (compatible with Willi Hennig’s Pallopteroidea and Otitoidea that are not currently used); (2) expanded concept of the family Tephritidae including parasitic taxa (Tachiniscinae, Ctenostylidae and Pyrgotidae); (3) reconfirmation of monophyletic Trypetini, Carpomyini, Tephritinae, and Dacinae; and (4) the first Tephritoidea might have evolved around the middle of Paleocene Epoch (~59 mya) and the family Tephritidae around the late Eocene (~36 mya).

꽈리허리노린재는 가지과 및 메꽃과 기주에 피해를 주는 해충이다. 꽈리허리노린재는 실내의 25℃ 조건에서 1세대는 평균 76일정도 소요 되며, 성충으로 월동하기 때문에 수명이 길고, 일정한 주기 없이 알을 덩어리로 산란한다. 주로 잎 뒷면에 산란하며, 암컷 한 마리당 평균 195개, 최대 468개까지 산란하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 온도가 높아질수록 부화율은 높아지며, 발육기간은 짧아졌지만, 25℃를 제외한 다른 온도에서는 탈피율이 30%이하를 나타냈다. 위 결과를 토대로 선형모델로 추정한 결과 발육영점온도는 13.9℃, 유효적산온도는 526.3DD를 나타냈다. 고추재배지에서월동 성충이 6월 말 평균기온 25.7℃에서 나타나기 시작하여, 9월초에 가장 높은 밀도를 나타내었다. 부화한 개체들은 성충이 될 때까지 이동성이 적었으며 밀집하여 분포하였다. 집단을 형성하는 요인을 알아보고자 Net cage와 Y-tube olfactometer를 이용한 행동실험 결과, 암컷은 수컷과 암컷이 모두 있는 곳을 선택하였지만, 수컷은 암컷과 수컷이 모두 없는 곳을 선택하였다. 수컷이 새로운 기주를 찾아 정착하면, 암컷은 기주를 독점한 동종이 많이 있는 기주를 찾아가는 교미와 관련된 행동을 나타냈으며, 통신화합물의 영향은 알 수 없었다. 집단이 미치는 영향을 알아본 결과 꽈리허리노린재는 좁은 공간에서 집단으로 사육시 약충의 발육기간이 길고 우화율이 높아지는 반면, 개체 사육시 발육기간이 짧고, 우화율이 낮게 나타났다. 반면에 넓은 공간에서는 집단으로 사육 시 약충의 발육기간은 짧고 우화율은 낮게 나타났다.

Product liability (PL), which began enforcement in 2002, refers to the legal responsibility of the manufacturers or sellers (wholesales or retailers) for the property damage or bodily harm caused by their product. With a strong enforcement of the Product Liability (PL) Act, companies are required to structure and operate a response system to defend or prevent product accidents efficiently, but small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are unable to respond more aggressively due to limitation of management resources. In this manner, it is important to develop response strategies for SMEs to efficiently cope with the PL Act. In this paper, the PEST (Political, Economic, Social, and Technological) analysis is performed to reveal the impact of the PL Act on SMEs in macro-economic point of view. To formulate SME’s PL response strategy, SWOT analysis is performed to categorize each factors from PEST analysis and AHP is applied to identify the intensities of SWOT factors. The prioritized SWOT factor, results of PEST-SWOT-AHP analysis, are used to formulate SME’s PL response strategies. The study results are briefly summarized as follows. To reduce product defects, it is necessary for SMEs to formulate PL response strategies for each phase of the product life cycle by continuously collecting and analyzing PL cases in the same industry or for similar products. In addition, SMEs should invest more technological effort to ensure product safety. Further, SMEs should spread PL awareness to all staff members by training internal PL experts. Moreover, a SME should enroll in PL insurance and spread this information to its customers so that they become aware that the company is proactively conforming to the PL law.

This study was performed to apply and to utilize the digital forecasting information for Integrated Pest Management at pepper field in Chungbuk province. Chemical spray according to the forecasting prediction using FarmIPM and NCPMS were compare to the that of no control and conventional control. Pests such as Oriental tobacco budworm, Western flower thrips, and Cotton aphids were investigated the control effect by the forecasting modeling information at three pepper plots. Damaged fruit ratio (%) of Oriental tobacco budworm was ordered into no treatment (30) > forecasting (20) > conventional (12), but damages by other pest was insignificant. The frequency of forecasting control was ordered into NCPMS (31) > conventional control (17) > FarmIPM (8). Damaged fruit ratio (%) of Oriental tobacco budworm was ordered into no treatment (35.5) > NCPMS (26.1) > FarmIPM (24.6) > conventional (13.9). Density of western flower thrips was higher but had no problematic by the chemical control when it is hard to analyze the damage by cotton aphid occurrence. Damage by cotton aphids has no prediction of forecasting but done with 6th chemical spray, and their damage ratio (%) was ordered into no treatment (67.7) > FarmIPM (16.2) > NCPMS (11.3) > conventional treatment (4.8). At an analysis of economic value, gross profit was highest in FarmIPM and next to NCPMS > conventional control.

As ubiquitous organisms entomopathogenic fungi may natually occur within environment including phylloplanes and soil or deposite and survive for a while after spraying a fungal suspension to control insect pest. The existence of pathogenic fungi is a threat to arthropods foraging for food and oviposition sites. The detection and avoidance of pathogens is important for host survival, longevity and ultimate fitness. Although entomopathogenic fungi are ubiquitous worldwide and act as common natural enemies of many invertebrate species, very few studies have conducted abiut the detection and avoidance of pathogenic fungi by insect pest. We have studied that an insect pest can recognize a high virulence fungi on crop surface, avoid oviposition and don’t enter the field treated their pathogen.

Global warming can seriously influence on the interaction between pest and natural enemy in the agroecosystem due to the differences in optimal temperature ranges. Two aphid-ladybug systems, Myzus persicae-Coccinella septempunctata (M-C) and Aphis gossypii-Coccinella septempunctata (A-C) in the pepper crop were simulated, respectively under four different temperature scenarios including crop development over 244 days with the assumption that the average temperature is higher by 1, 3, and 5 °C than that in Seoul in 2000. Temperature-dependent functions for each aphid-ladybug system were embedded in Rosenzweig-Macathur predator-prey model to explore their population dynamics, and then Dynamic Index was used to quantify the strengths of species interactions. The result shows that the predator-prey population cycles as well as species interactions are getting shorter and stronger in both systems as temperature increased. Especially, the excessively high temperature scenario in Aphis gossypii-Coccinella septempunctata system could result in the extreme species interaction. Therefore, the increasing temperature can facilitate the effectiveness of biological control because of growing crop plant development and much stronger species interaction, although there are increases of the frequency of pest occurrences.

RNA interference (RNAi) technology is a new direction for insect pest management, a biologically-based and target specific strategy. During the past decade the availability of insect genomics and computational biology has further enabled the implementation of RNAi technology to target economically important insect pests. It has shown striking results in various insect groups, suggesting that it will be a promising tool for the next generation of pest management. The mechanism of RNAi action is a specific knockdown of gene expression vie degradation of a target messenger RNA (mRNA), by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The applied dsRNA thus blocks target protein synthesis, leading to failure of normal physiological functions in the organism To successfully develop RNAi applications, a critical initial step is screening for appropriate candidate genes to identify RNAi targets, because the impacts of gene silencing (especially in terms of which other genes are effected) vary for different RNAi target genes and insects. The challenge with gene selection is to select suitable insect-specific target genes that provide fast-acting mortality or suppression and long-term population suppression without affecting other non-target organisms.

Insect pests have been a serious problem over many years and remain a major threat for food production. Although chemical pesticides are major pest control strategies, use of microorganisms such as entomopathogenic bacteria, fungi, viruses and nematodes have continuously increase last few decades to minimize the use of agrichemicals. According to BBC research, the global biocontrol market was about $2.1 billion in 2011, and this is expected to rise $3 ~ 4 billion by 2017. Over 50 entomopathogens are commercially produced and used augmentatively as microbial pesticides. About 175 biopesticide active ingredients and 700 products have been registered worldwide. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium spp., nuclear polyhedrosis virus and Steinernema spp. are the most popular control agents used in plant protection. Among the microbial control agents Bt products have more than 50% of market share. In Korea, only 13 environmentally-friendly crop protectants were registered for insect pest control in 2015. Market share is very low and has grown slowly. We will discuss how we can expand the market with our techniques.

콩에서 사용할 수 있는 친환경 살충제 14종을 문헌 조사를 통해 선발한 후 상용화된 천적인 칠레이리응애와 미끌애꽃노린재 에 대한 생태독성을 비교하였다. 천적에 대한 영향이 가장 적어 천적 사용과 호환이 가능한 살충제는 flonicamid와 spirotetramat, Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki, Beauveria bassiana strain GHA (Bb GHA), spinosad 등이었다. 이 들 중 flonicamid와 spirotetramat, Bb GHA를 콩의 주요 해충인 톱다리개미허리노린재[Riptortus pedestris (Fabricius)]와 그 들의 알 포식기생자인 노린재검정알벌 [Gryon japonicum (Ashmead)]과 노린재깡충좀벌(Ooencyrtus nezarae Ishii)에 대해 생태독성을 추가적으로 비교하였다. flonicamid와 spirotetramat 모두 톱다리개미허리노린재의 약충에 대한 독성이 톱다리개미허리노린재의 성충에 비해 높았으며, 상대적으로 두 종의 기생벌에 대해서는 영향이 적었다. 반면 Bb GHA는 살충률과 감염률 모두 노린재에 비해 천적에서 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 콩에서 천적중심 해충 방제 전략에 대해 고찰하였다.

2013~2014년 동안 전북지역 블루베리에서 총 37종의 해충이 조사되었다. 주요해충은 블루베리혹파리, 목화진딧물, 갈색날개매미충, 볼 록총채벌레, 미국흰불나방, 장수쐐기나방 6종이었다. 목화진딧물 피해는 5월 중순 익산과 진안에서 심하게 발생하였다. 총채벌레 피해는 모든 지 역에서 개화기인 6월초에 심하였고, 어린묘에서 심하였다. 갈색날개매미충은 중산간지역인 순창과 진안지역에서 대발생하여 전 지역으로 확산 되고 있었다. 미국흰불나방은 6월 익산에서 특이적으로 집중 발생하는 경향이었다. 쐐기나방은 5종이 발생하였는데 그 중 장수쐐기나방이 모든 지역에서 발생밀도가 가장 높았다. 블루베리혹파리 피해는 중산간지대인 순창과 진안지역보다 평야지대인 익산지역에서 심하였고, 3년생 이하 어린 묘에서 피해율 60~78%로 5년생 이상 피해율 30~50%에 비하여 높았다. 또한, 하우스에서 피해율은 50~80%로 노지 피해율 30~40% 보 다 높게 나타났다.

팔레놉시스 주산지의 9개 농가를 대상으로 2013년 8월부터 2015년 6월까지 지상부에 발생하는 해충의 종류를 조사하였다. 양란주름응애 (Tenuipalpus pacificus Baker), 긴털가루응애(Tyrophagus putrescentiae Schrank), 꽃노랑총채벌레(Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande), 대만총 채벌레(Frankliniella intonsa Trybom), 파총채벌레(Thrips tabaci Lindeman), 볼록총채벌레(Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood), 난가루깍지벌레 (Pseudococcus dendrobiorum Williams), 긴꼬리가루깍지벌레(Pseudococcus longispinus Targioni Tozzetti), 무화과깍지벌레(Coccus hesperidum Linnaeus), 두줄민달팽이(Limax marginatus Müller) 등 총 10종이 확인되었다. 양란주름응애가 가장 많은 농가(66.7%)에서 발견되었다. 발생 빈도는 양란주름응애와 대만총채벌레가 총 96회의 조사 중 10회(10.4%) 관찰되어 가장 높았다. 긴꼬리가루깍지벌레는 발생농가율은 22.2%로 약간 낮은 수준이었으나 발생빈도(9회, 9.4%)와 밀도(2∼289마리/20주)가 높았다. 이를 종합해볼 때 양란주름응애, 대만총채벌레, 긴꼬리가루 깍지벌레가 팔레놉시스에서 가장 중요한 해충인 것으로 판단된다.

Insect and natural enemy fauna were surveyed at conventional (CV) and organic-farming persimmon orchards (OF) at Jinju, Korea, using sweeping net and naked eyes in 2013 and 2014. Using sweeping net, 49 species at an OF and 18 species at a CV were observed in 2013. In 2014 too, more species were observed at OF (66 species, 33 families, 7 orders) than at a CV (25 species, 15 families, 5 orders). During both the years, dominant species were all hemipteran insects like Nysius plebejus (Lygaeidae) and Cletus punctiger (Coreidae) in both types of orchards, followed by Rhopalus maculatus (Rhopalidae), Riptortus pedestris (Alydidae). Similarly, naked eye inspection also found more species at OF (192 species, 72 families, 11 orders) than at CV (104 species, 52 families, 10 orders) in 2014. Dominant species in naked eye inspection were Lycorma emelianovi (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae), Uroleucon cephalonopli (Hemiptera: Aphididae) at OF, and A. mellifera and R. maculatus at CV in 2014. Using naked eye inspection or sweeping net in 2014, more species of natural enemies were observed at OF (31 and 9 species, respectively) than at CV (18 and 5 species, respectively).

The pea leafminer fly, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae), is a polyphagous pest attacking wide range of field and greenhouse crops and ornamental plants. Surprisingly, localized outbreaks with high population and heavy unique damage of leafminers were observed from the field survey of potato fields in the southern parts (Miryand and Goryeong) of Korea in 2012. L. huidobrensis was the responsible for those potato damages based on the morphological and genetic characteristics. Then after, it added a one more emerging species in Korean Liriomyza account. Infestation of L. huidobrensis was expanding and reported in major potato growing areas of the country. Genetic evidence showed the close relationship with Chinese L. huidobrensis population, so it might be invaded from China. As a new emerging pest, very few informations relative to this pest are available in Korean prospective. There is also significant potential for it to widen its distribution, as the Korean Peninsula is a hot spot of climate change, particularly global warming. There are a lot of challenges uprooting infront of researchers and growers. It is demanded to explore new secrets and to be ready to tackle of this invasive pest, L. huidobrensis.

A fumigant, methyl bromide (MB), has been widely used to control insect pests on various post-harvest agricultural products. Due to its negative side effects, such as ozone deplete and phytotoxicity, MB should be replaced and alternative control technique ought to be developed. Furthermore, organic agricultural products need to be treated with non-chemical methods. To meet these needs, controlled atmosphere and temperature treatment technique (CATTS) has been developed to control insect and mite pests infesting various post-harvest fruits. CATTS uses heat treatment at 46℃with a gradual increase of temperature program under ananoxia condition (less than 1% O2 and 15% CO2). The heating rate at ramping step is crucial to prevent any heat damage to fruits by mimicking natural conditions during summer period experienced by fruits in orchards. The exposure period to the high temperature is minimized by anoxia condition, which prevents any recovery metabolism occurring in the target insect/mite pests after the heat treatment. To develop MB alternative technique for exporting apples, CATTS conditions have been determined against several quarantine insect/mite pest, which are restricted from Korean apple import countries. Target insect pests include Grapholita molesta, Adoxophyes paraorana, Tetranychus viennensis, Conogethes punctiferalis, and Carposina sasakii. In each insect species, differences in susceptibility to high temperature were analyzed in all developmental stages. The highest tolerant developmental stages were adults in T. viennensis, but the fifth instar larvae in G. molesta, C. punctiferalis, C. sasakii, and A. paraorana. Gas conditions of CATTS kept 1% O2 and 15% CO2. After the internal fruit temperature increase from 25℃ to 44℃ during ramping stage (120-150 min), CATTS treatment lasted for 1-2 h. Under 1 h CATTS treatment, 100% mortality was recorded in all assays using more than 3,000 individuals of each species of T. viennensis adults, G. molesta fifth instar, C. sasakii fifth instar, and A. paraorana fifth instar. With 2 h CATTS treatment, 100% mortality was recorded in C. punctiferalis assay using 3,022 fifth instar larvae. Under 1 h CATTS treatment, no fruit damage was recorded in Fuji variety of apples. Treatment cost of CATTS is higher than that of methyl bromide (MB) treatment. However, once CATTS is equipped with nitrogen generator, it would be cheaper than MB in treatment cost. CATTS is a promising post-harvest pest control technique to replace MB treatment. Especially, CATTS would be an ideal control technique to disinfect any pests against organic agricultural products.

무농약 시설재배 오이에서 잎, 꽃 및 과실을 가해하던 응애를 채집하여 동정한 결과 오이긴털가루응애(Tyrophagus neiswanderi)로 동정되었 다. 오이긴털가루응애는 분류학상 응애목(Acarina) 가루응애과(Astigmata)에 속하며 형태적으로는 유백색의 계란형을 띄고 체장은 490.1㎛, 체 폭은 288.1㎛의 매우 작은 응애이다. 오이긴털가루응애는 잎, 꽃, 과실에 모두 발생하여 피해를 주었다. 피해증상은 정식 초기 유묘의 경우 신초가 수축되면서 연노란색으로 탈색이 되고, 심하면 신초가 멎는 피해가 나타난다. 또한 오이가 생육을 하는 과정에서 잎이 피해를 받으면 처음에는 오이 잎에 흰색의 반점이 나타나고 시간이 경과함에 따라 반점에 구멍이 나고 찢어진다. 꽃에서도 흰색 반점과 찢어지는 증상이 나타난다. 과실에서는 어린 과실일 때 피해를 받으면 과실의 비대가 저해되거나 기형과가 나타나며, 과실이 비대하더라도 코르크증상으로 인해 상품성이 떨어지게 된다.
