Seasonal occurrence pattern of the peach pyramid moth (PPM), Dichocrosis punctfferahs, was studied by sex pheromone traps and mercury light traps in several Fuyu persimmon orchards under different control pressures in southern region of Korea in 2000 and 2001. Fruit damage by the larvae was also checked at harvesting time from 1999 to 2001. The pattern showed 3 distinct peaks; the 1st one in mid to late June, the 2nd one in mid to late August, and the 3rd one in late September. Number of PPM catches was higher in less controlled than in intensively controlled orchards. There were no persimmon fruits damaged by the larvae of PPM and persimmon fruit moth, Stathmopoda masinissa, in our samples from the testing orchards at harvesting time. Therefore, it is unlikely that these two quarantine pests are included in the exporting fruits. Considering flora adjacent to the tested orchards and zero levels of fruit damage by the larvae, there is a strong possibility that the moths flew from neighbouring chestnut trees or other host plants to be attracted to the traps in the persimmon orchards.

A nuclear polyhedrosis virus isolated from the oriental tobacco budworm larvae, Helicoverpa assulta (Guenee) was characterized by electron microscopy, SDS-PAGE, restriction endonuclease analysis and cross infectivity. The shape of a polyhedron was $1.0\mu\textrm{m}$ in average with icosahdral outline, and the virus particle was $65nm\times300nm$ in average with rod-shape. The nuclear polyhedrosis virus was contained a single nucleocapsid within a viral envelope embedded in a polyhedron. The polyhedral protein was composed of a single polypeptide with a M.W. of 31 Kd. The genome size of the virus by restriction endonuclease analysis was about 120 Kb. Among several nuclear polyhedrosis viruses, the nuclear polyhedrosis virus from Helicoverpa assulta (HaNPV) and Autographa california nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) were infected the oriental tobacco budworm larvae.

Pathogenicity and multiplication of entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser, ere analyzed in two insect hosts, Spodoptera exiga (Hubner) and Sp. litura(Fabricius). The estimated ${LC}^{50}s$(lethal concentration of the infective juveniles to kill 50% of the host insect population) were not different between tow insect species or among their developmental stages on the filter paper assay, thought the actual numbers of the infected nematodes were varied among them. The significant variation, however occurred in nematode multiplication between tow inset hosts. Temperature also gave sosignificatn effect on nematode multiplication rate that it took 6 days after infection at $25^{\circ}C$, but did 12 days at $20^{\circ}C$ to show the maximal nematode population peak($\approx$500,000 infective juveniles(IJ) in a 5th instar larva of Sp. litura and $\approx$-100,000 IJ in a 5th instar larva of Sp. exigua).

Pathogenicity of Spodoptera exigua nuclear polyhedrosis virus (SeMNPV) against the host insect and 8 species of lepidopterous insects and cross infection of baculoviruses to third instar of S. exigua larvae were studied to determine as a biocontrol agent for S. exigua. The median lethal concentrations($LC_{50}$)of the SeMNPV to egg mass was $2.855\times10^5$ PIBs/ml and higher than that to the larvae of S. exigua. Mortality of the SeMNPV in third ins tar larvae was more increased than that in first and fifth instar of S. exigua larvae by 1.16 and 4.11 times, respectively. The median lethal times($LT_{50}$) to $1.56\times10^6$ PIBs/ml was in the range of 4.25 to 5.04 days. Infectivity of the SeMNPV against eight species of lepidopterous insects was showed only in the host insect, S. exigua. Autographa cali/ornica MNPV, Mamestra barassicae MNPV, and Trichoplusia ni MNPV were cross-infected to third instar of S. exigua larvae among ten of baculoviruses tested.

Moths have a well-developed sex pheromone communication system. Male moths exhibit an extremely sensitive and selective sex pheromone detection system so that they can detect the sex pheromone produced by conspecific females and locate them for successful mating. Using the pheromone detection system, male moths display characteristic stereotypic behavioral responses, flying upwind to follow intermittent filamentous pheromone strands in pheromone plume. The chemical composition of female sex pheromone in moths, typically comprised of multiple compounds, is species-specific. Male moths contain specialized pheromone receptor neurons on the antennae to detect conspecific sex pheromone accurately, and distinguish it from the pheromones produced by other species. The signals from pheromone receptor neurons are integrated and induce relevant behavior from the male moths. Male moths also contain olfactory sensory neurons in pheromone sensilla, specialized for pheromone-related behavioral antagonist compounds, which can enhance discrimination between conspecific and heterospecific pheromones. Here we review reports on the sex pheromone detection system in male moths and their related responses, and suggest future research direction.

최근 벼 재배지역의 일부 품종에서 이화명나방에 의한 피해양상 및 피해정도가 다르게 나타나고 있다. 그동안 발생량과 피해가 적었던 이화명나방이 벼 품종 및 재배환경의 변화로 일부지역에서 발생량 및 피해가 많아 문제해충으로 대두되고 있어 각별한 관리대책이 요구된다.

최근에 들어 서울, 인천등 도시지역에 ''차주머니나방''이 발생하면서 은행나무도 해충에 대하여 안전한 수종이 아니라는 감을 주고 있다. 은행나무의 해충으로 10여종이 알려져 있으나 차주머니나방과 깍지벌레류 이외는 크게 문제되지 않을 것으로 본다.

To produce Spodoptera exigua nuclear polyhedrosis virus (SeNPV) using S. exigua larvae, the efficiency of the in vivo production was analysed by larval instar, inoculum and mortality. The results revealed that the mortality of 4th instar larvae inoculated with 1.OX 10' EIBs per ml was 86.7% and the yields of SeNPV was maximal, demonstrating that 4th instar larvae inoculated with 1 . 0l~o6 PIBs per ml were effective to mass production of SeNPV.
