양배추가루진딧물을 다채(Brassica campestris var. narinosa)를 기주로 하여 7단계 온도(15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33℃), 습도 65±5%, 광주기 16L:8D에서 조사하였고, 이를 이용하여 생명표를 작성하였다. 성충수명은 21℃(14.9일)를 기준으로 고온과 저온으로 갈수록 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 산자수는 24℃에서 58.5마리로 가장 많았다. 성충 1마리의 일일 산자수는 24℃가 4.7마리, 27℃가 4.5마리로 비슷하였고, 고온과 저온으로 갈수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 양배추가루진딧물의 생명표를 작성한 결과 순증가율(Ro)은 24℃에서 가장 높게 나타났고, 18℃와 30℃에서 급격히 감소하였다. 내적자연증가율(rm)은 27℃에서 최고치인 0.356을 나타냈고, 기간증가율(λ)은 27℃에서 가장 큰 1.427을 나타냈다. 평균세대기간(To)은 온도가 올라감에 따라 짧아져 30℃에서 가장 짧았다.

This study was estimated for cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae in Brassica campestris L. var. rapa (L.) Hartm. in order to institute of Economic injury levels(EILs). B. brassicae was innoculated on April 29, in differently 0, 5, 10, 20 and 40 adults per ten plant, respectively. After inoculated of B. brassicae, the density was increased until harvest ing gradually in all plots except non innoculate plot. and Higher inoculation density were increased higher than lower inoculation density. Percentage of damage leaf was higher in plots with higher initial aphid density than in plots with lower initial aphid density. And the leaf weight of commodity were decreased in higher initial aphid density. The decreasing rates of leaf weight of commodity was increased with increasing initial aphid density. The relationship between initial B. brassicae densities and the decreasing rates of leaf weight of commodity was well described by a linear regression, Y=0.8416X-3.5147, R2=0.94. Based on the relationship, the number of adults per 10 plant which can cause 5% loss of yield was estimated to be approximately 10.1. And EILs was estimated to be approximately 1.0 adults/plant in late April.

The effects of pollens of Bt Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris), expressing the insecticidal protein Cry1Ac toxin (Bt Chinese cabbage) on Bombix mori larvae, were determined in laboratory studies. When reared on an artificial diet containing pollens of Bt Chinese cabbage, decreased survival rate and body weight of B. mori larvae were observed. ELISA test using Cry1Ac-antibody implied that the Cry toxin was detected not only in the whole body and alimentary canal but also in the hemolymph and remaining body parts, suggesting that the ingested Cry1Ac protein is distributed inside the body through epithelial membrane of the midgut of B. mori. Taken together, it was suggested that the pollens of Bt Chinese cabbage adversely affect non-target insect B. mori larvae.
