This study reports the results of natural enemy application against four insect pests on greenhouse sweet pepper in winter cropping system. Orius laevigatus ($3.3/m^2$) was released at two different times (Nov. 2005 & Feb. 2006) to control Frankliniella occidentalis, western flower thrips (WFT). Throughout the cropping season, the lowest level recorded of WFT was less than 2.0 individuals per yellow sticky trap. Amblyseius swirskii ($232.3/m^2$) was released four times (Nov. 2007 ~ Aug. 2008) to control Bemisia tabaci, tobacco whitefly (TWF). Until July 2008, TWF population had been suppressed lower than 6.6/trap. Phytoseiulus persimilis ($44.5/m^2$) was released seven times (Apr. 2008 ~ Aug. 2008) to control Tetranychus kanzawai, tea red spider mite (TRSM). As a result, TRSM population was suppressed lower than 1.7/1eaf. To control aphids, Aphidius colemani ($9.5/m^2$) was released seven times (Oct. 2004 ~ Jan. 2005), with the transplantation of banker plants ($5.5pot/660m^2$). As a whole, aphid's population has been successfully reduced to less than 2.0/leaf.

Biological-control-based-integrated-pest-management of major pests occurring on sweet pepper in greenhouse during summer season was tried. As many as 2.1 Orius laevigatus per $m^2$ were released in two times on June 6 and 19, and the population of thrips was kept under control and accordingly the damage was negligible throughout the season. To control aphids, a total of 0.8 Aphidius colemani per $m^2$ were released in four times, 0.2 of them at a time, flonicamid on May 14 and July 18 and pymetrozine on June 14 and September 4 were sprayed on the spots of high aphid occurrence to reduce the release of the wasp, and the density of aphids was kept under control. Whitefly was controlled successfully by releasing a total of 343.4 Amblyseius swirski per $m^2$ in nine times, 38.1 of them at a time, from May 9 until November 12 and dinotefuran was sprayed on November 12 when the density of whitefly increased up to 200 per trap. Tetranichus kanzawai was controlled by both Phytoseiulus persimilis which was released a total of 44.4 per $m^2$ in five times 8.9 of them at a time from May 23 to September 10, and the A. swirski which was released for the control of whitefly.

To investigate the control effect of insect pests by natural enemies, sticky traps were used in commercial tomato greenhouses in Chun-cheon and the experiment fields of Gangwon-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, Republic of Korea using semi-forcing culture (February to June). We selected low toxicity pesticides, environment-friendly agricultural materials (EFAM), and natural enemies of the study species, combinations of which have been previously used in farms to control insect pests. In this study, Trialeurodes vaporariorum and thrips, which are major agricultural insect pests, were studied in experimental greenhouses. The adult T. vaporariorum population was observed in mid-April and the population of thrips showed occurrences in early April. Regarding seasonal fluctuation, T. vaporariorum peaked in mid-May and thrips peaked after June. one insecticide, spiromesifen suspension concentrate (SC); one fungicide, cyazofamid SC; and two EFAMs containing neem tree extract were shown to be slightly toxic to Encarsia formosa and Orius laevigatus. The results of this study could be used to develop management models using natural enemies of control the insect pests; T. vaporariorum and thrips in semi-forcing culture of tomato.

국립수목원은 열대유용식물의 BT산업 원천소재 확보 제공을 목적으로 열대자원연구센터를 건립하여, 열대 및 아열대 전시원을 관리하고 있다. 온실의 특성상 일반 재배환경과는 다르게 여러 종류의 식물의 혼합 식재되어 있는 특성이 있어서 농업환경과 달리 해충의 급격한 돌발에 의한 온실 전체적인 피해의 위험성이 적은 반면에 안정된 환경으로 인해서 해충의 취약한 몇몇 수목의 경우 해충이 급격히 늘어날 수 있다. 본 실험은 여러 종류의 식물이 혼재되어 있는 수목 온실 내에서 생물적 방제를 이용하여 주요 해충류인 진딧물류 및 가루 깍지벌레, 잎응애류 방제 가능성을 타진하고자 진행되었다. 진딧물이 집중적으로 발견된 열대식물 5종(Acalypha hispida, Justicia gendarussa, Hamelia patens, Ficus petersii, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)을 중심으로 천적 방사 및 Banker plant 설치를 진행했다. 최초 조사일인 2015년 3월 10일, Tropical 1에 진딧물류의 발생이 많이 확인되어 포식성 천적인 미끌애꽃노린재를 투입했다. Tropical 2는 2015년 3월 17일 기생성 천적인 콜레마니진디벌과 선발된 Banker plant를 적용하여 방제 되었다. 철모깍지벌레가 발견된 열대식물 3종(Sanchezia parvibracteata, Brillantaisia lamium, Pseuderanthemum atropurpureum)을 중심으로 적용 천적으로 어리줄풀잠자리, 애홍점박이 무당벌레와 깍지무당벌레를 선별했다. 천적을 대상으로 철모깍지벌레에 대한 포식능력을 조사했으며 애홍점박이 무당벌레가 어리줄풀잠자리 보다 2.8배, 깍지무당벌레보다 2.9배 포식능력이 뛰어남을 확인했다. 잎응애류가 발견된 열대식물 2종(Acalypha wilkesiana, Erythrina caffra)은 천적으로 사막이리응애와 칠레이리응애를 적용하였다. 괭이밥응애 성충과 알의 포식력을 검증한 결과 사막이리응애가 괭이밥응애를 먹이로 증식이 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 괭이밥, 괭이밥응애, 사막이리응애를 효과적으로 조합한 응애류 방제를 위한 새로운 Banker plant의 개발 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구는 열대온실의 열대식물 관리에 대한 생물학적 방제의 지속적인 모니터링을 통해 종합적 방제의 관리 자료로 이용되어 새로이 온실을 조성하는 경우 식재기반조성에 실질적인 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 추후 열대식물의 자원 식물로서의 활용성을 높일 수 있다.

This study was conducted to develop a technology for environmentally friendly control of sweet-potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, by controlling their behavior using a push-pull strategy in a tomato greenhouse. B. tabaci was attracted the most by yellow color, light source of 520 nm, whereas it avoided the complex light treatment of 450 + 660 nm. The two natural enemies of B. tabaci, Cyrtopeltis tenuis and Orius laevigatus, were attracted the most by 520 nm light source. B. tabaci was repelled by the volatile organic compounds ocimene and carvacrol and was the most attracted by methyl isonicotinate. When buckwheat was added into the tomato greenhouse, the density of C. tenuis was maintained at about 16 times higher than when untreated for 15 days. As a result of the combined treatment of push-pull strategy, the density per trap of B. tabaci was three times lower than when no treatment was applied, and the control of this pest increased with time and reached up to 68.7%.
