복숭아순나방(Grapholita molesta)은 핵과류과실에 일차 피해를 주는 해충이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 종합적병해충관리 [IPM]의 일환으로 써 전세계적으로 교미교란제가 농가에 적용되고 있다. 왁스, 폴리에틸렌 튜브, 에어로졸 형태의 다양한 교미교란제가 상업화되었다. 이 연구에서 는 복숭아순나방 성페로몬 방출기로써 에스테르왁스와 폴리프로필렌(PP)필름백을 구성하는 방출기를 기존의 파라핀 왁스와 폴리에틸렌(PE) 재 질의 필름과 비교하여 페로몬의 방출거동을 분석했다. PE재질의 필름백은 성페로몬의 방출이 불규칙한 반면, PP필름백에서 성페로몬은 시간에 따라 일정하게 방출하는 패턴을 얻었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 Japan 왁스_PP 필름 방출기(Japan_PP)를 제작하였고, 약 5개월 동안 복숭아과 수원에 적용한 결과 98% 이상의 교미교란 효과가 검증되었다.

As an environment-friendly phytosanitary measure, CATTS (controlled atmosphere temperature treatment system) has been developed to kill several quarantine insect pests infesting subtropical agricultural commodities. This study tested any possibility to apply CATTS to apples to effectively eliminate the peach fruit moth, Carposina sasakii, which has been regarded as a quarantine insect from the imported countries. When the larvae of C. sasakii were directly exposed to 46℃ (an installed lethal temperature of CATTS), they showed a median lethal time at 14.66 min. Addition of high carbon dioxide to the temperature treatment enhanced the thermal limit susceptibility of C. sasakii to 46℃. The larvae internally infesting apples were tested using this CATTS device and showed 100% lethality after 60 min exposure to a treatment of 46℃ under 15% CO2 in the chamber. This study suggests a possibility that CATTS can be applied as a quarantine measure to kill the larvae of C. sasakii locating inside the apples. To understand the CATTS effect, a heat shock protein was cloned. Hsp90 was partially sequenced and showed its expression in response to heat treatment. CATTS was likely to suppress hsp90 expression.

Addition of high carbon dioxide to the temperature treatment enhanced the thermal limit susceptibility of C. sasakii to 46℃. CATTS device was constructed to automatically control CO₂ concentration and temperature with real-time monitoring both in the chamber and in the fruit. The larvae internally infesting apples were tested using the CATTS device and showed 100% lethality after 60 min exposure to a treatment of 46℃ under 15% CO₂ in the chamber. Relatively long exposure may be due to the deviation between the ramping temperature (0.35℃/min) of the chamber and the ramping temperature (0.12-0.23℃/min) inside apple fruit, where the tested larvae were located. This study suggests a possibility that CATTS can be applied as a quarantine measure to kill the larvae of C. sasakii locating inside the apples.

This study was conducted to identify the seasonal occurrence patterns of peach pyralid moth, Dichocroscis punctiferalis (Guenee), and persimmon fruit moth, Satthmopoda masinissa Meyrick, in persimmon orchards in four different regions, Ulsan and Jinyeong in Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Naju and Yeongam in Jeollanam-do. Three pheromone traps (Delta trap, GreeAgro Tech) for each moth species were installed at each site and checked with 1 week intervals. Peach pyralid moth and persimmon fruit moth occurred in all four study sites. Two moth species exhibited two distinctive peaks, but there were some time differences in the peak among sites. Peach pyralid moth first occurred in late May to early June in Ulsan, Jinyeong and Naju but occurred in late July in Yeongam. Overall, the first peak appeared in mid- to late June but the time of the second peak varied widely among sites. Persimmon fruit moth first occurred in early to mid-June in Ulsan, Jinyeong and Naju but occurred in mid-May in Yeongam. The first peak appeared in mid- to late June in Ulsan, Jinyeong and Naju but it appeared in late May in Yeongam. The time of the second peak was around late August in the study sites except Ulsan where the second peak time was in late September.

This survey was conducted from 1992 to 2005 in the major apple producing districts in southern part of South Korea including 4~8 cities, to know the occurrence and damage level of two major pests, Carposina sasakii and Grapholita molesta that attack apple fruit. The fruit damage by G. molesta during the harvest period ranged from 0.02 to 1.64%. A tendency of higher damage of G. molesta was observed after 1997 compared with the previous years. The other hand, the fruit damage by C. sasakii was 0.02 to 1.30%, and the damage level was very low with fruit damage of ＜ 0.3% except 1998. The orchard infested with G. molesta was 13 to 71%, while 12 to 57% with C. sasakii. The rates of orchards where fruit damage by G. molesta was found were higher than those by C. sasakii after 1997. The tendency of fruit damage rates in the orchard where the most fruit damage was found was same with the trend of orchard rates infested with the pests. The maximum damage rate by G. molesta was 20.0% in 2005, while 4.5% by C. sasakii in 1998. The damaged shoot rates by the first generation G. molesta was 0.1~8.1%, and it had a positive correlation with the rates of fruit damage during the harvest period. Consequently, it is concluded that G. molesta is dominant species compared with C. sasakii in commercial apple orchards recently.

수은유아등과 성페로몬트랩을 이용하여 2000년과 2001년에 남부지방의 단감원에서 복숭아명나방의 발생양상을 조사하고 수확시기의 과실에 대한 피해정도를 1999년부터 2001년까지 조사하였다. 복숭아명나방은 년 3회의 발생피크를 나타내었는데, 제1화기는 6월 중하순, 2화기는 8월 중하순, 3화기는 9월 하순이 발생최성기이었다. 집중방제 과원에서는 방제소흘 과원보다 복숭아명나방이 적게 발생하였다. 조사대상 과수원에서 수확시기의 과실에는 복숭아명나방 유충에 의한 피해과를 발견할 수 없었다. 따라서 이들 두 검역해충이 수출용 단감에 존재할 가능성은 아주 낮다고 할 수 있다. 한편 단감원 주변의 식생과 수확기 과실의 피해율(0%)로 볼 때, 유아등이나 성페로몬트랩에 유인된 복숭아명나방은 주변의 밤나무로부터 이끌려온 것일 가능성이 크다.

복숭아 심식나방의 발생생태를 구명하기 위하여 휴면 유기 및 종료시간, 휴면타파에 미치는 저온의 영향, 휴면후 월동유충의 용화시간 및 이에 대한 강우조건의 영향 등을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 복숭아심식나방의 휴면은 최초 7월하순에 탈과하는 유충부터 시작되었으며, 8월중순에 약 가 휴면하였고, 9월 상순 이후 탈과하는 유충은 모두 휴면하였다. 2. 휴면유기는 산란시기와 관계가 있어서 6월하순7월하순에 산란되어 발육한 유충부터 휴면하기 시작하나, 년도별 발육시간중의 온도에 따라서 차이가 있었다. 3. 휴면이 종료되는 시기는 12월상순 경이었으며, 1월이후에 가온하는 개체는 거의 모두 용화하였다. 4. 휴면타파에는 5, 의 저온이 효과적이었으며 저온요구기간은 약 1개월이상이었다. 그러나 이하의 저온은 휴면타파를 억제하였다. 5. 포장에서 월동후 유충의 5월중하순에 시작되었으나, 온도조건 외에도 5월7월의 강우가 월동유충의 발육에 중요한 요인으로 토양이 심히 건조한 경우 용화가 지연되었으며 유충의 사망률도 높았다.
