Thinning treatment has a huge effect on understory and litter structures in forest ecosystem, and the resulting changes may impact some arthropod groups such as plant-feeders and detritivores. This study was carried out to find a change in arthropod abundance and their structures in relation to the thinning activity in a Pinus koraiensis plantation in Chuncheon, Korea, where thinning was conducted twice: in 1998-2000 (old-thinning) and 2007 (new-thinning). Arthropods were collected using pitfall traps in 2006 and 2008. Effects of old-thinning on change of abundance and community structure of arthropod were significant, but the effects of new-thinning were not significant. The most significant thinning effect was found in detritivores, followed by plant feeders, but the effect was hardly significant in predators. Among detritivores the changes in abundance was diverse. The abundance of orthopteran plant-feeder increased, but Curculionidae declined after thinning. There was not different in abundance of total arthropods between thinned and unthinned areas because the difference may have cancelled each other out by increased or decreased abundance of taxa. Community structures of arthropods were most greatly affected by years, followed by the old-thinning, but the new-thinning did not affect community structures.

The environmental risks of cucumber mosaic virus resistant transgenic chili peppers with the CMVP0-CP gene on non-target organisms in the agroecosystem environments was evaluated during the periods of the chili pepper growing season (June 19, July 30, August 31) in 2007. Arthropods assemblages leaves and flowers of chili peppers were quantitatively collected by using an insect vacuum collector to compare the arthropod community structures between non-transgenic chili peppers (nTR, P 915) and mosaic virus resistant transgenic chili peppers (TR, CMV-cp, line 7). There was no statistical difference in the arthropod community structure between the two types of crops, nTR and TR, at the same season, although the species richness and Shannon’s index were somewhat different among seasons, indicating no effects of genetically modified peppers on the arthropod community. However, further studies were required to conclude more concretely for the potential environmental risk of the transgenic chili pepper of CMV-cp.

We've collected litter-dwelling predatory arthropods (spiders and carabid beetles) by using pitfall traps at four different fire intensity treatment areas (control, ground fire, canopy fire, and canopy fire with plantation) at four different regional areas in 2005. We analyzed the arthropod community structures with PC-Ord for the difference of arthropod community among the various fire intensity treatments and control. Our objective was to verify if there was any difference between fired areas and non fired area (control) and between canopy fire with plantation and canopy fire without plantation. From our arthropod community structures, we found there was distinct community composition difference between fired areas and non-fired area as well as between control and canopy fire treatment with plantation or non-plantation. However, we are not sure yet that there was any distinct difference between control and ground fire treatments. Our results from the multivariate analysis, Non-parametric Multidimensional Scaling ordination, could be relatively conclude that the main difference of arthropod community between fired areas and non-fired areal and canopy fire with plantation or non-plantation was caused from the difference of arthropod habitat pattern such as litter depth, litter volumem, CWD cover or volume, and et. al. When we compared to control and other treatments, we could also conclude that the canopy fire treatment with non-plantation was relatively closed to control than the canopy fire treatment with plantation.

Biodiversity of arthropods in Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) resistant GM rice (CryIAc1) and non-GM rice fields. Sampling was conducted 15 times using sweeping net and electric aspirator. Biodiversity was analyzed with species richness and Shannon diversity index (H’). Total 28,275 arthropod individuals (12,413 in GM rice and 15,862 individuals in non-GM rice) were collected and there were 22 families, 34 genera and 36 species belonging to 8 orders. There were 19 families, 29 genera, 31 species in GM rice and 20 families 32 genera 34 species in non-GM rice fields. There was no significant difference in species richness and species diversity (H’) between GM and non-GM rice. Species diversity was significantly higher in non GM rice in the insect pest group only in middle and late of August .

사과원 잡초군락이 해충 및 천적발생에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 제초제를 살포하여 잡초를 제거한 구(제초구)와 수관하부까지 잡초를 키우면서 인력으로예초한 구(예초구)에서 수상의 해충 및 천적과 잡초상의 곤충류를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 응애류와 진딧물의 발생은 처리간에 유의성있는 차이는 없었으나, 응애류의 경우는 예초구에서 발생이 적은 경향이었다. 사과굴나방의 경우 예초구에서 1993년에는 피해엽률이 10% 정도 낮았고, 1994년은 4% 정도 낮은 발생을 보였다. 응애류와 진딧물의 천적류 발생은 쳬초구에서 높은 경향이었으나 큰 차이는 없었으며 사과굴나방의 기생청 천적류는 예초구에서 1993년에는 6~10%, 1994년에는 20~25% 높은 발생을 보였다. 사과원 잡초상에서 포충망을 이용 곤충류를 채집 조사한 결과, 사과해충은 발견되지 않았으며, 사과해충 천적류로서 좀벌류, 고치벌류, 애꽃노리재, 무당벌류, 풀잠자리류 등이 발견되었다. 사과생육기간중 잡초상 및 수상에서 군충군집변화는 상이하였다. 수상에서의 곤충군집형성에 약제살포가 큰 영향을 주었으나, 잡초상에서는 약제살포에 상대적으로 안정된 군집이 유지되었다. 결론적으로 사과원 잡초는 수상의 사과해충 및 천적발생에 영향을 주고 있었으며, 사과굴나방 기생벌같은 기주특이적인 천적들은 수상이동에 의하여 밀도억제작용을 하였고, 잡초상에 먹이가 풍부하거나 또는 광식성인 천적들은 잡초상 곤충군집에 연관되어 수상의 해충밀도에 큰 영향을 주지 못했다.

Resistance evolution to organophosphate-based pesticides in apple and pear inhabiting arthropods of western North America extends to many classes of pest and some beneficial species. Resistance management programs to minimize resistance in pests while exploiting it in natural enemies have met with mixed success. Among beneficials, resistances have been exploited mostly among predators of pest mites. Evolution of resistant mites, leafminers, leafhopper, aphids, leafrollers and some internal fruit feeders have led to development of new monitoring methods and means to delay or avoid resistance. But it is resistance to azinphosmethyl in codling moth (Cydia pomonella) that is changing the pest control system and moving it from chemical to biologically-based means. Newly merging IPM system will depend more on use of biological, cultural, behavior and genetic controls. But more selective pesticides also will be needed to augment pheromones, resistant host plants and genetically altered organisms. These more biologically-based tactics will be prone to resistance evolution in pests as well, if used too unilaterally and/or too extensively.

It is known that the effect of traditional agricultural techniques of burning farmland such as paddy fields and fields gradually declines and affects both the fauna and flora of the rice paddy as well as pests. Therefore, in this study, a study was conducted to investigate the effects of burning rice paddy fields and rice paddy fields levee on the control effect of winter pests inhabiting agricultural land and the amount of pests generated and damaged during the growing season. As a result of this study, the pest control effect of incineration reduces not only the density of pests, but also beneficial insects (natural enemies) and non-reptiles. It is judged that burning has a very low insect control effect. It is expected to be used as basic data to create a sustainable agricultural environment, such as minimizing various negative effects such as pest control effects, wildfires, and air pollution caused by incineration, and suppressing unnecessary incineration and fine dust generation.
