Growth response and acetolactate synthase(ALS) activity were examined to determine the resistance of corn cultivars to primisulfuron when primisulfuron and/ or insecticide Terbufos were applied. Pioneer 3571 IR showed resistance to primisulfuron regardless of Terbufos treatment, but Pioneer 3571 was greatly injured with primisulfuron plus Terbufos treatment. Suwon 118 was relatively tolerant to primisulfuron compared to Chalok 2, but crop injury was occurred at both cultivars by primisulfuron plus Terbufos treatment. ALS activity at Pioneer 3751 IR was very high in primisulfuron and/ or Terbufos treatment. Suwon 118 also showed higher ALS activity compared to Pioneer 3751 and Chalok 2, but ALS activities were greatly decreased by primisulfuron plus Terbufos treatment at Suwon 118 and Chalok 2. The $I_{50}$ concentration for 50% inhibition of the ALS enzyme was 10.0, 0.06, 7.75, and 0.04${\mu}M$ for Pioneer 3751 IR, Pioneer 3751, Suwon 118, and Chalok 2, respectively. Consequently, resistance of corn cultivars to primisulfuron was significantly related to ALS activity. Crop injury and lower ALS activity were recognized in susceptible corn cultivars by primisulfuron plus Terbufos treatment.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the protoporphyrin Ⅸ (PPIX)accumulation, activity of antioxidative enzymes and contents of antioxidant in tolerant-wheat and susceptible-barley to protoporphyrinogen oxidase (Protox) inhibiting-herbicides [oxyfluorfen(2-chloro-l-(3-ethoxy-nitrophenoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl) benzene, acifluorfen (5-[2-chloro-4-(trifl-uoromethyl) phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoic acid), bifenox(methyl-5-(2, 4-dichlorophenoxy) 2-nitroben-zoate), and oxadiazon (5-tert-butyl-3-(2,4-dichloro-5-isopropoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-one)]. The tolerant-wheat and susceptible-barley were soaked in these compounds at 10$^{-6}$ M for 2hrs and exposed to light for 2,4,6 or 8hrs to investigate change of the activity of antioxidative enzymes. The activities of monodehydroascorbate reductase(MDAR), catalase(CAL) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) were lower in the barley than in the wheat after the treatement of these compounds. The activity of peroxidase(POX) was lower in the barley than in the wheat at 8hrs after the treatment of oxyfluorfen but other compounds showed no difference in activity in wheat and barley. The activity of glutathione reductase(GR) was increased in wheat and barley according as hours of treatment of these compounds became increased but its activity was no difference between wheat and barley. In the case of the content of vitamin C due to the treatment of these compounds, the wheat decreased less than the barley. After the treatment of oxyfluorfen the content of vitamin E in the wheat was higher than in the barley but other compounds didn't have any difference between wheat and barley. And after the treatment of acifluorfen the content of carotenoid was greater in the wheat than in the barley but other compounds didn't have any difference between wheat and barley. The content of glutathione (GSH, GSSG) was greater in the barley than in the wheat. The content of protoporphyrin Ⅸ (PPIX) accumulation by the treatments of these compounds was more in the barley than in the wheat. Especially, the treatment of oxyfluorfen and acifluorfen were more accumulated 2.3 and 1.3 fold in the barley than in the wheat, respectively.

Currently, methods for controlling weeds in organically produced crops have not been as effective as conventional methods. This research was carried out to determine the herbicidal effects of leaf, stem, fruit, root extracts of Trichosanthes kirilowii. The extraction methods used were water, boiling water and ethanol. The characteristics of potential herbicidal components among extraction methods were investigated by using the following solvent fractions: hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water. Generally, water extracts provided the best on inhibition of germination rate, plant height, and root length in cucumber and barley. Specifically, extractions made from fruit parts of T. kirilowii provided the greatest inhibition effect on plant growth in cucumber and barely. Inhibition of germination rate, plant height, and root length in cucumber and barley in solvent fractions was the best in water fractions, but there were no significant differences among the other fractions. Digitaria siliaris and Solanum nigrum were controlled 80-100% by 5% extractions of water fraction. However, there were no herbicidal effects from foliar treatment in cucumber, barley, black nightshade, and henry crabgrass by 5% extractions of the water fraction. These results show that extractions of T. kirilowii can be used for controlling some weeds in organically produced crops.

Bispyribac-sodium is a new-type herbicide that prevents the occurrence of annual bluegrass by the suppression of anthesis and inflorescence emergence on the bent green. The greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate interaction effect of the bispyribac-sodium with 21 soil- and foliar-applied herbicides in regards of herbicidal activity of annual bluegrass. The remarkable synergism was not found on the combination of bispyribac-sodium with benfluralin, pendimethalin, oryzalin, siduron, chlorphtalim, isoxaben, bifenox, tenylchlor, indanofan, bentazone, imazosulfuron, imazaquin, halosulfuron-methyl and limsulfuron. However, mixture of bispyribac-sodium with mecoprop, triclopyr, metsulfuron-methyl, cyclosulfamuron, pyrazosulfuron-ethyl and pyributicarb produced greater synergism of herbicidal activity when compared with unmixed, single application. Phytotoxicity was low on bentgrass green and fast recovery was observed. In future, it would be strongly necessary to do research to Investigate the effect of bispyribac-sodium combination with other herbicides under various environment and management practices on-site bentgrass green.

Various physicochemical parameters for the active ingredients of 245 herbicides were calculated to develope a diagnosis and estimation system for utility as herbicide. The range of physico-chemical parameters for each inhibitors of photo system II (H1), acetolactate synthase (ALS) (H2) and herbicides were confirmed. The distribution ranges of 85% dependence for each physicochemical parameters were Obs.logP :$-0.90\sim4.50$, dipol moment: $1.80\sim12.22$ (debye), molecular refractivity: $53.0\sim104.0(cm^3/mol)$, polarizability: $19.0\sim37.0(\AA^3)$, HOMO energy: $-9.98\sim-7.34$ (eV), LUMO energy:$-2.76\sim0.40$ (eV), Van der Waals molecular volumes: $558.0\sim995.0(cm^3)$, molecular weight: $202.0\sim430.0$ (amu) and surface areas (Grids): $194.0\sim356.0(\AA^2)$, hydration energy: $-10.16\sim114.7$ Kcal/mol, respectively. It is suggested that MR and polarizability constants will be able to distinguish between herbicides and medicinal drugs. Results revealed that various compounds based on the range of physicochemical parameters of herbicides could be diagnosed and estimated.

This experiment was carried out to establish effective weed control system in the cultivation of Coix lachryma-jobi L. The effect of annual weeds artificially transplanted on the growth of Coix lachryma-jobi L. were that the higher the density of weeds, the lower the yield considerably by reducing number of grains and tillers per plant. Among four weeds of Echinochloa crusgalli galli P. BEAUV., Digitaria sanguinalis $S_{COPOL}$., Chenopodium album L., and Portulaca oleracea L., weed of Portulaca oleracea L. reduced adlay yield most by 182.6kg/10a and it was judged to be the most injurious weed to adlay production. Among four weed control systems, which are one herbicide treatment, one herbicide treatment + one cultivating work with cultivator, two times cultivating work with cultivator and two times hand-weeding, the control system of 'one herbicide treatment + one cultivating work with cultivator' showed the lowest amount of weed growth by 7.34 weeds per $m^2$ in comparison with control plot of 35.00 weeds per $m^2$. Among four weed control systems, the system of 'two times hand-weeding' had much more amount of light penetration in adlay canopy with 791.9 mol than any other systems.

To investigate a simple and rapid screening method for photosynthetic inhibitory herbicides, responses of tobacco(Nicotiana tabacum L.) and liverwort(Marchantia polymorpha L.) PA(photoautotrophic) cells to various commercial herbicides with different modes of action and leaf extracts of four weed species were compared. PET (photosynthetic electron transport) inhibitory type of herbicides has greater inhibitory effect in liverwort photoautotrophic cells than the photomixotrophic and heterotrophic cultured cells. Similary, PET inhibitory type of herbicides inhibited the oxygen evolution more in liverwort PA cells than the other type of herbicides. Based on oxygen evolution, 60% inhibition was observed by the 10% aqueous extracts of Polygonum hydropiper, while there was 100% inhibition by the 10% methanol extracts of Polygonum hydropiper. This assay gave well correlated results to the Hill reaction data using isolated thylakoids. Thus liverwort photoautotrophic cells might be suitable materials for rapid screening method for photosynthetic inhibitory herbicides.

This study was conducted to optimize formulation factors of a self-dispersible floating granule of flucetoaulfuron that can be used at a low application volume (5 kg $ha^{-1}$). SPA and xanthan gum were selected as a binder because blending of them showed good granulation and floatation. Potassium chloride selected as a filler also showed good granulation, floatation and disintegration properties. Among wetters and dispersants, Surfynol 440 gave the best dispersibility The optimum granule size was determined to be 1.0 mm considering floating time and dispersibility. Flucetosulfuron was mixed with the blend of SPA and xanthan gum, potassium chloride, and Surfynol 440 and formulated as a floating self-dispersible granule at 1.0 mm in diameter. Indoor and outdoor field experiments showed that the floating granule of flucetosulfuron performed well, covering long range from the application spot up to 15 m in weed control. Therefore, this floating technology may be used for laborsaving herbicide formulation development and help to reduce workloads for herbicide application.

We have obtained fertile transgenic rice plants resistant to the broad spectrum herbicide Bast $a^{(R)}$ (active ingredient phosphinothricin, PPT) by PEG-mediated transformation procedure. The plasmid pCaMV35S::Bar was used to deliver the bar gene into embryogenic suspension culture-derived protoplasts of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Transformed plants were regenerated and selected on medium containing 15 mg/l of phosphinothricin. Stable integration and expression of the bar gene in transgenic rice plants was confirmed by Southern and Northern blot analysis. Transgenic $R_1$ plants were also confirmed by assays for phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT) activity. The bar gene was expressed in the primary transgenic rice plants and in the next generation progeny, in which it showed a 3 : 1 Mendelian inheritance pattern. Transgenic $R_1$ and $R_2$ plants were resistant to the herbicide Bast $a^{(R)}$ when sprayed at rates used in field practice.ice.
