Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum was found to be highly virulent to various vegetables, including Chinese cabbage. The antibacterial isolate CAB12243-2 was tested in a field bioassay for suppressing soft rot disease. The nucleotide sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene identified, the CAB12243-2 strain used in this study as Bacillus toyonensis. B. toyonensis CAB12243-2 inhibited the pectate lyase process by soft rot pathogens, and used trehalose and glucose as carbon sources. In field tests, the antibacterial isolate B. toyonensis CAB12243-2 suppressed soft rot disease with 73.0% control efficacy on the spring cultivar "Norangbom" and with 68.9% efficacy on the fall cultivar "Bulam 3". These results suggest that B. toyonensis CAB12243-2 can be used as a biological control agent for the control of soft rot diseases on vegetables.

Over the past decade, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-mediated gene silencing technology has progressed significantly for pest management in agriculture and for protecting beneficial insects from pathogens. Recently, breakthroughs in RNA interference (RNAi) applications for insect pest management by academia and commercial entities have provided RNAi products as commercial biopesticides. Although RNAi technology has vast potential and advantages for pest control, challenges, and limitations remain in practical applications. This review explores current challenges in the development of dsRNAs as a pest management tool and considers new approaches to overcome biological and environmental obstacles, such as poor stability and resistance.

Weed control is an essential part in rice culture and has been practiced by hand. But the shortage of man power in rural area in recent years has brought about the use of herbicides. The effective use of herbicides in rice has contributed toward improving labor situation and maintaining rice production. The use of herbicides will extend more in the future. The only limitation of present uses of monoherbicides might be the predominant growth of a certain weeds in paddy field, and subsequent effect on ecology system. It is, therefore, wanted to develop a herbicide which will be effective on several kinds of weeds. In the weed control system, ecological and integrated weed control would be necessary in the future. To obtain the most effective weed control, studies on physiological ecotype of weeds and machanism of herbicides and their interactions will be necessary.

Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng) possesses various biological and pharmacological properties. Damping-off is a critical disease on ginseng seedlings, which is caused by the fungal pathogens Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium sp.. This disease is generally controlled by the application of fungicides, but also biological control is an efficient and environmentally friendly way to prevent ginseng damping-off. In a previous study, we screened soil-borne bacteria with potential applications as biological control agents for ginseng damping-off and selected the bacterial strain Streptomyces sp. A3265, producing antifungal substances guanidylfungin and methylguanidylfungin. In this study, we investigated control efficacy of Streptomyces sp. A3265 against ginseng damping-off in the field. As a result, the incidence of damping-off was significantly reduced when soaking ginseng seeds in the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. A3265.

Trichoderma harzianum 23 WP and Bacillus subtilis 122 WP were formulated as antagonists of Sclerotium cepivorum and Sclerotium sp. of garlic white rot. In the field test, applications of Trichoderma harzianum WP and Bacillus subtilis WP reduced garlic white rot by Sclerotium cepivrum from 10.9% in the control to 4.1% and 6.2%, respectively at Taean. Also at Seosan, applications of Trichoderma harzianum 23 WP and Bacillus subtilis 122 WP reduced garlic white rot by Sclerotium sp. from 17.8% in the control to 1.2% and 2.6%, respectively. Treatment of Trichoderma harzianum 23 WP and Bacillus subtilis 122 WP increased garlic yield in two area. Therefore, Trichoderma harzianum 23 WP and Bacillus subtilis 122 WP have shown potential as biofungicides of garlic white rot in the two different pathogens.

지난 호의 소나무류 가지마름성 병해에 이어 이번 호에서는 소나무류 잎마름성 병해를 소개한다. 소나무의 잎에서 나타나는 잎마름성 병해는 증상과 원인이 다양하여 정확한 원인을 밝히기가 매우 어렵다. 그 이유는 수목의 이상 증상은 기본적으로 1) 비기생성(생리적, 비점염성) 원인, 2) 기생성(생물적, 전염성) 원인에 의하여 발생하는데, 진단 결과에 따라 수목의 재배환경을 점검하고 개선하여야 할 문제인가(비기생성 원인), 또는 약제를 사용하여야 할 것인가(기생성 원인)를 먼저 결정하여야 한다. 그 이유는 피해 원인이 물, 온도, 제초제 등 비기생성 원인에 의한 것이라면 재배환경의 개선 또는 원인 제거만으로도 충분히 나무를 회복시킬 수 있고, 병원균에 의한 것이라면 정확한 병명 진단 후에 적용 약제를 적절한 시기에 살포하여 불필요한 농약의 사용을 줄이면서 효과적으로 방제할 수 있기 때문이다. 수목의 잎에서 흔히 나타나는 이상 증상은 다음과 같이 비기생성 원인과 기생성 원인을 포함하여 크게 세 가지로 구별할 수 있으며, 기본적인 진단 요령과 원인은 다음과 같다.

An nematophagous fungi Arthrobotrys thaumasia Nema-1 and Pseudomonas putida C-5, which degrade the collagen and gelatin, was isolated from controlled horticultural soils in Seonnam-myun, Sungju-gun, Kyungpook and Woosung-myun, Gongju-shi, Chungnam to develop biological nematode pesticide. When $5,000mL\;L^{-1}$ of A. thaumasia Nema-1 culture was treated to Meloidogyne incognita, the nematicidal activity resulted in 55% at 72 hours after treatment. While the nematicidal activity increased to 65% by treating the culture mixture of $5,000mL\;L^{-1}$ Nema-1 and P. putida C-5 after 72 hours. Furthermore, the nematicidal activity of the mixture containing cinnamon extract $50mg\;L^{-1}$, each $5,000mL\;L^{-1}$ of Nema-1 and C-5 culture was elevated to 89% at 72 hours after treatment, comparing to the result showed 17% and 57% of the nematicidal activity, respectively by the treatment of chemical nemato pesticide Fosthiazate $50mg\;L^{-1}$ and neem oil $2,000mL\;L^{-1}$. These results suggested that the mixture of microorganisms and plant extract were more effective biological nematicide than the case of only microorganism or plant extract for nematode control.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of U. atrum treatment on control of Botrytis leaf blight of lily and Botrytis gray mold of cucumber, and to evaluate the U. atrum as the biological control agent of Botrytis diseases. The antagonistic isolates CNU 9037 and CNU 9054 isolated from tomato leaves were identified as Ulocladium atrum Preuss based on morphological characteristics. This is the first record of U. atrum in Korea. In bioassays on dead leaves of tomato and cucumber, treatment of U. atrum colonized the dead leaves and suppressed sporulation of Botrytis as compared with the untreated control. The suppression of spoulation of Botrytis on dead leaf segments by U. atrum was higher when U. atrum was treated before Botrytis was treated. The effect of treatments with conidial suspension of U. atrum on leaf blight of lily and gray mold of cucumber caused by Botrytis elliptica and B. cinerea, respectively, was investigated under greenhouse conditions. Spraying U. atrum ($1{\times}10^6$ conidia per ml) at intervals of 1 week for three times resulted in a significant reduction of natural infections of lily leaves caused by B. elliptica. Protective value of U. atrum treatment was higher than that of the fungicide (procymidone) treatment. Spraying U. atrum also resulted in a significant reduction of cucumber gray mold caused by B. cinerea. Our results show that U. atrum has a potential for biological control against diseases caused by Botrytis spp, in lily and cucumber.

Weed management under organic farming systems is very problematic since organic agriculture does not allow synthetic herbicides. Bioherbicide is needed to develop for weed management in organic agriculture systems. This review covers current status and perspectives of bioherbicide development for effective nonchemical weed management in organic farming systems. Bioherbicides are products of natural origin derived from living organisms, and more specifically bacteria, fungus and plants including natural metabolites for weed control. Bioherbicides derived from microorganisms or natural molecules are currently available on the pesticide markets. Devine, Lockdown (Collego), BioMal, Camperico, Organo-Sol and Opportune were derived from bacteria, Woad Warrior, Smolder, Mygogen, Chontrol Paste, Starritor and Phoma derived from fungus, and Katoun (pelargonic acid) and Beloukha were derived from plants. Corn gluten meal products and plant essential oils products are also available for nonselective weed control in organic agriculture. Organic weed management methods may be more feasible in small scale farming and high-value crops, and bioherbicides may be applied with other weed control practices in organic farming systems.
