This study was conducted to investigate the influence of formulation of fungicides on epicuticular waxes in 'Campbell Early' grapes. Non-bagged and bagged berries were treated with wettable powder, suspension concentrate and emulsifiable concentrate 15 days after full bloom (DAFB) and 48 DAFB (veraison), respectively. Fruit skin was observed by naked eye and scanning electron microscope (SEM) at harvest. Remarkable white blots were observed on the berries treated 48 DAFB in the order of wettable powder, suspension concentrate, and emulsifiable concentrate. The observation by SEM showed all formulations of fungicides damaged the ultra-structure of epicuticular waxes; also, an unknown substance was observed on treatment with wettable powder and suspension concentrate. Moreover epicuticular wax appeared to be melting on the grapes treated with emulsifiable concentrate. Also, non-bagged grapes showed serious contamination of epicuticular wax by some unknown substance, but bagged grapes had only fungicides' traces.

For the effective chemical control to minimize infection of storage pathogens on kiwifruit in the field, this study was conducted to screen alternative fungicides which could be substituted for the fungicides Benomyl WP and Thiophanate-methyl 제 registered for the control of postharvest fruit rats of kiwifruit in Korea. Among the 8 fungicides tested, Tebuconazole WP, Iprodione WP and Flusilazole WP showed higher inhibitory effects on themycelial growths of 3 major pathogens of postharvest fruit rots, Botryosphaeria dothidea, Diaporthe actinidiae and Botrytis cinerea on potato dextrose agar. They also showed control efficiencies as high as those of Benomyl WP and Thiophanate-methyl WP on postharvest fruit rots in the field. They might be good candidates for fungicieds for the control of postharvest fruit rots of kiwifruit.

Fungicides of tebuconazole wp, iprodione wp and flusilazole wp were applied for the control of postharvest fruit rots of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) in the field in 2000 and 2001. More than 3 consecutive applications of these fungicides from the late June with 10-day-interval successfully controlled the diseases. It was found in the field trial in 2002 that 4 consecutive spays from mid of June with 10-day-interval was found to be the most effective application program for tebuconazole wp, iprodione wp and flusilazole wp, The results suggested that currently registered fungicides of benomyl wp and thiophanate-methyl wp can be substituted by tebuconazole wp, iprodione wp and flusilazole wp for the control of the diseases in Korea. Use of these fungicides can restrain emergence of fungicide resistant strains of postharvest fruit rot pathogens with benefit of reduced application of chemicals for food safety and environmental conservation.

After technical pesticides and dispersants were dissolved in a volatile organic solvent, the wettable powders(WP's) were formulated by adsorbing the pesticide-dispersant solution to finely powdered porous synthetic silica without milling process. The median sizes of 11 WP'S were smaller than $8{\mu}m$, 9 of which had more than 80% suspensibility after 2 hours. It was possible In formulate 50% WP for liquid of fly technical pesticides. The pesticidal efficacies of WP's tested were comparable In commercial formulations regardless of suspensibilities of WP's.

In order to select the proper formulation of newly developed herbicide Cyhalofop-butyl{n-butyl-(R)-2-[4-(2-fluro-4-cyanophenoxy)phenoxy]propionte} to Echino-chloacrus-galli(L)P. Beaw. several formulations were made and tested by biological assay. Weed control of wettable powder formulated with two adjuvants on E. crus-galli showed higher effect as compared with the formulation made without adjuvants. Higher concentration of adjuvants resulted in higher absorption and higher weed control on E. crus-galli. However, adhesional force of wettable powder applied to leaf surface was not positively correlated to the amount of herbicide absorption. The weeding effect and amount of herbicide absorbed on E. crus-galli were higher by emulsifiable concentrateformulations with different HLB and non ionic surfactants as compared with wettable powder formulations. The higher adhesional force and higher absorption of herbicide on E. crus-galli were obtained from microemulsion than the others. Granulization of the herbicide with appropriate adjuvants in a form of resurfacing on the submerged water gave rise to a good weeding effect and believed to be a possible promising formulation.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of acid rain in spraying copper hydroxide 77% wettable power(WP) on leaf surface morphology and crop injury of the garlic(Allium sativum L.). Leaf chlorosis, hooked leaves, wrinkled epidermal cells and increased stomata open of garlic were induced by foliar application of simulated acid rain(SAR). It was become to be severe in application of copper hydroxide solution after application of SAR, but those yield of garlic was not significantly different from the untreated control. Leaf chlorosis was sharply increased above 100 ppm of copper ions. Amount of solved copper ions in copper hydroxide solution was remarkably increased below pH 5.5 and the residue in garlic leaves was significantly increased by application of copper hydroxide solution after spraying SAR compared with application of copper hydroxide solution only. When calcium carbonate was applied together with copper hydroxide leaf chlorosis was less than copper hydroxide only.
