Mosquitos serve as vectors for diseases, causing inconvenience as well as a threat to human life and health. Concern about mosquitos introducing and spreading new diseases has been intensifying. We observed a variety of mosquito habitats based on land cover classification from Korea's Ministry of Environment, and the mosquito species that could appear were classified according to the each habitat type. Finally, we suggested the best control methods for each type of habitat considering habitat characteristics and the ecological traits of mosquitos. Urban areas harbor various habitats for pests, contributing significantly to mosquito habitats. Control must be performed regarding larva and adults because various sources for habitats exist. Public mosquito control programs such as educational training, as well as information brochures can be effective in managing mosquito populations and public health. Agricultural areas show high densities of mosquito larva to lentic zones such as reservoirs, wetlands, paddy fields. So, biological control using natural predators may be effective in controlling mosquito populations. Forests are major habitats for Aedes albopctus, so physical controls should be deployed for residents living nearby, and excessive deforestation should be minimized. Other areas including aquatic ecosystems should be adopted regarding biological control using Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis) and chemical control for eradicating mosquitos. We classified habitats into four types of land cover patterns considering ecological traits and habitat preference, and suggest adequate control methods for each habitat type. Our suggestion can be used to positively contribute toward effective managing mosquito's density and reducing the damage to public health.

For preventing the biological damage domestically, insect damage control method using chemical medicine has been applied. However, it is trend to avoid existing chemical medicine such as Methyl bromide because of the problem of being harmful to human body and environment. Therefore, the research for new medicine to replace this has been done and the interest to the physical treatment such as temperature(high & low) treatment, hypoxic treatment, carbon dioxide treatment, and radiation treatment has increased. However the systematic application standard and way has not been established. Therefore, in this research, we are going to organize present condition of domestic cultural asset preventing biological damage after the 1980's. It will also consider the direction through the characteristic of technology, limit, and replacement medicine by examining the past research.

사과 겹무늬썩음병의 주 전염원은 가지 병반에서 형성되는 자낭포자 및 병포자이므로, 가지에서의 포자형성 또는 포자의 분산을 화학적 또는 물리적 방법으로 저해할 수만 있다면 효과적으로 병을 방제할 수 있을 것으로 생각했다. 전염원을 줄이기 위한 첫 번째 시도로 1992년 이른봄 가지에 형성된 사마귀를 호미로 제거한 결과, 병포자의 분산과 과실발병 억제효과에 있어서 무처리와 유의적인 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 두 번째 시도로 포자의 분산을 막기 위해 1993년 이른봄에 겹무늬썩음병에 걸린 가지를 비닐필름으로 감고 5월부터 9월까지 20일 간격으로 살균제를 살포한 결과, 통계적으로 유의성이 인정되는 병 방제효과가 있었고, 나무의 생육에 있어서도 콜크층이 이상 비대하는 것 이외에 별다른 이상이 없었다. 이 개념을 더욱 발전시켜 1994년 이른봄에는 병든 가지를 수용성 고분자 물질인 polyvinyl alcohol로 도포하고 수배 분산 포자의 수를 조사한 결과, 포자의 분산량이 크게 줄어져 실용화의 가능성이 시사되었다.

To control populations of the chestnut weevil, Curculio sikkimensis Heller, the effects of various immersion temperatures and times on the chestnut weevil were tested. The effects of immersion treatments on chestnut fruits were also analyzed. The mortality levels of C. sikkimensis larvae were evaluated at various temperatures ($30^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$, and $50^{\circ}C$) and time intervals (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 22, and 24 h). Changes in the chestnut fruit due to the immersion treatment were measured in terms of color (lightness, redness, and yellowness), physiological effects (germination rate and decay rate), hardness, and change in constituent properties (moisture content, free sugar content, and tannin content). Mortality levels of C. sikkimensis larvae after immersion treatment at $30^{\circ}C$ were over 70% and 100% after 2 h and 7 h, respectively. Color (lightness, redness, and yellowness) of the chestnut fruits was not significantly different at $30^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C;$ however, the color was affected at temperatures over $40^{\circ}C$. The germination rate of the fruit was not affected by the immersion treatments, but the decay rate at $40^{\circ}C$ increased with an increase in immersion time. The hardness of the fruits decreased with an increase in immersion times and temperatures. These results can be used in the future for developing methods for the control of chestnut weevil populations.

This study was to obtain basic information needed to develop the effective weed control method for the production of less polluted agricultural products by inducing viability loss of weed seeds in soil with infrared irradiation. Ceramic plates were heated by LPG with the aid of forced air and the infrared produced from plates was used as the heat source for heating soil. The soil heated in this study was sandy loam with four levels of moisture contents (0.5, 5.1, 9.1, 15.0% wb). The temperature distribution was measured at various soil depths when soil was irradiated with infrared for different irradiation time (30, 60, 90 sec). The soil depths with duration time of minimum 3 minutes over $80^circ C$, temperature inducing viability loss of weed seeds, were investigated. When the moisture content of soil was 0.5% and 5.1% wb, the soil depths which can induce viability loss of weed seeds was greatly increased with increasing irradiation time. When 30 seconds of irradiation time was applied on soil with moisture content of 9.1% or 15.0% wb, any depths of soil tested in this study was not reached to the temperature of 8$0^{\circ}C$. Generally, the soil depth being needed for viability loss of weed seeds was decreased with increasing moisture content of soil.

Pine wilt disease first appeared in Busan in 1998; it is a serious disease that causes enormous damage to pine trees. The Korean government enacted a special law on the control of pine wilt disease in 2005, which controls and prohibits the movement of pine trees in affected areas. However, existing forecasting and control methods have physical and economic challenges in reducing pine wilt disease that occurs simultaneously and radically in mountainous terrain. In this study, the authors present the use of a deep learning object recognition and prediction method based on visual materials using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to effectively detect trees suspected of being infected with pine wilt disease. In order to observe pine wilt disease, an orthomosaic was produced using image data acquired through aerial shots. As a result, 198 damaged trees were identified, while 84 damaged trees were identified in field surveys that excluded areas with inaccessible steep slopes and cliffs. Analysis using image segmentation (SegNet) and image detection (YOLOv2) obtained a performance value of 0.57 and 0.77, respectively.

Tetranychus urticae Koch and Panonychus ulmi Koch were identified as quarantine pests in apple samples and were controlled soon after the commercial treatment of methyl bromide (MeBr) and with irradiation doses $(0.5{\sim}3kGy)$ after irradiation. The physical qualities of apples, such as rotting, withering, weight changes, hardness, and color, were apparently affected by MeBr. Furthermore, more than 2 kGy irradiation resulted from the lapse of storage time. Associated with the physical qualities of stored apples, irradiation and fumigation for quarantine purposes were more adequate after 40 days of storage at $0{\pm}1^{\circ}C\;(85{\pm}2%\;RH)$ immediately following harvest, rather than soon after harvest. Less than 1 kGy irradiation, based on its accumulated control effect on pests, can potentially be applied as a quarantine procedure without causing significant changes in the physical qualities of fresh apples, in contrast to MeBr.

As a basic physical property of chemical substances, the flash point is of great importance as far as the prevention of chemical disasters is concerned. The measurement of flash point is not easy. and the number of c(Impounds for which systematic data have been collected pitifully small. Because, a need exists for some means of predicting the flash point of compound for which experimental data are unavailable, not only those which are currently in use or at the production stage, but also, those not compounds which are in the process of synthesis and design. The present research concerns the application of OCD (organic conception diagram) to the association between chemical structures and flash points, and an attempt made to discover a method of predicting the approximate flash point of a compound from its chemical structure alone.

Termites cause massive damage to wooden architectural heritage structures. Chemical treatments have been commonly used to control them. In foreign countries, physical barriers made of sheet and particles impenetrable to termite are being used as an alternative to the chemical method. To study the efficacy of physical barriers, we investigated the appropriate sand particle size that can prevent the penetration of R. speratus kyushuensis. Upon evaluating the barrier properties of sand with particle sizes ranging from 0.85 to 4.00 mm, the penetration of termites was found to be effectively blocked at a particle size range of 1.00 to 2.80 mm. At smaller particle sizes, termites managed to move the sand particles and build an almost linear mud tube to penetrate the sand layer. At larger particle sizes, the termites could penetrate the sand layer by passing through the sand gaps.
