Effects of different application of nematicides (fosthiazate 5% G, ethoprophos 5% G, and diazinon 34% EC) for the control of Aphelenchoides fragariae in strawberry were evaluated in a greenhouse experiments. Mother strawberry (Fragaria grandiflora) cv. Yeohong were dipped in solution of nematicides (fosthiazate or ethoprophos at 2.5 g a.i./liter in $20^{\circ}C\;or\;46^{\circ}C$) for 10 min. and planted in a greenhouse for dipping treatment. For the compare, mother strawberry were dipped in hot water for 10 min. without chemicals. For soil treatment, fosthiazate or ethoprophos at 3 kg a.i./ha were mixed into soil. For foliar spray, diazinon at 3.4 g a.i./liter was sprayed at foliage until runoff. At 40, 80, and 100 days after planting, runners were harvested from each treatment and the rate of nematode infestation and the number of nematodes per plant were examined. After 100 days of planting, mother strawberry plants dipped in fosthiazate solution (2.5 g a.i./liter, $20^{\circ}C$) for 10 min. produced more number of healthy runners and reduced % of infected runner as much as 90% and also had fewer nematodes per runner. Fosthiazate was more effective than ethoprophos. Foliar application of diazinon was reduced A. fragariae populations only in early season. Hot water treatment and nematicide soil treatment were less effective.

An nematophagous fungi Arthrobotrys thaumasia Nema-1 and Bacillus subtilis C-9, which degrade the collagen and gelatin, were isolated from horticulture plantation soil in Kyungpook Sungju-gun Seonnam-myun and Chungnam Gongju-gun Woosung-myun to develop biological nematode pesticide. When $5,000mg\;kg^{-1}$ of A. thaumasia Nema-1 nematicide powder ($7.0{\times}10^3cfu\;g^{-1}$) was treated to pot including Meloidogyne incognita, the number of nematode's egg mass, which is a index of nematicidal activity, decreased to 35% compared to control. While the number of nematode's egg mass decreased to 67% by treating the nematicide powder mixture of $5,000mg\;kg^{-1}$ Nema-1 and B. subtilis C-9 ($8.5{\times}10^5cfu\;g^{-1}$). Furthermore the number of nematode's egg mass of the mixture containing cinnamon extract $10mg\;kg^{-1}$, each $5,000mg\;kg^{-1}$ of Nema-1 and C-9 nematicide powder was decreased to 84%, comparing to the result showed the number of nematode's egg mass decreased to 24%, by the treatment of chemical nemato pesticide Fosthiazate $24mg\;kg^{-1}$. These results suggested the mixture of microorganisms and plant extract was more effective biological nematicide than the case of only microorganism or plant extract for nematode control.

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 investigated to compare the suppression of Meloidogyne arenaria by different treatments of Pasteuria penetrans which is known for biological control agent against Meloidogyne spp.. In order to select proper number of P. penetrans showing good suppression effect, P. penetrans were mixed with M, arenaria for attachment using three different concentration such as $3{\times}10^4$, $3{\times}10^5$ and $3{\times}10^6$ endospores/5 g medium, followed by treating them onto the roots of tomato. After 14 weeks incubation, P. penetrans at $3{\times}10^6$ endospores showed highest activity against the formation of gall caused by M, arenaria. At a dose of $3{\times}10^5$ endospores/5 g medium, P. penetrans was treated into soil either mixing with soil or spray onto soil surface for comparing of suppressive efficacy. When the antagonistic bacterium was treated by the former method, it suppressed more effectively Using P. penetrans at $3{\times}10^6$ endospores and mixing with soil method, suppression was compared among P. penetrans, $PASTORIA^{(R)}$(Japan) and $Fosthiazate^{(R)}$(Korea). P. penetrans was more potent than $PASTORIA^{(R)}$(Japan) and as similar as $Fosthiazate^{(R)}$(Korea). Therefore, these results suggested that P. penetrans can be used for controling of M. arenaria as biological control agent. Furthermore, thess results can be provided to develop environmentally-friendly nematicide.

Bacillus thringiensis strain 108 was isolated from soil and had nematicidal activity against second stage juvenile of plant root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. The strain 108, a rod shape, spore forming and Gram positive bacterium, produced lecithinase, catalase, and ${\delta}$-endotoxin. The strain 108 belongs to H serotype 3, Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki. A nematicidal substance of the strain 108 was partially purified on Sephadex G-25 gel filtration, activated carbon adsorption, silica gel adsorption, and Sephadex G-10 gel filtration. $LC_{90}$ of the partially purified substance against M incognita was $1.2\;{\mu}g/ml$. The nematicidal substance was stable by heat treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ for 1hr, but was perfectly lost nematicidal activity after autoclave ($110^{\circ}C$, 30 min).
