Sex pheromone is used for chemical communication for mating in a species-specific manner in insects. Insect antennae possess sensory receptors specific to sex pheromone components and generate receptor potential to be perceived by the brain to evoke mating behavior. The sex pheromones have been used for monitoring specific species of insect pests to predict their subsequent occurrences based on a temperature-dependent growth model. Sex pheromones are also used for controlling pest insects using several different strategies such as mass capture, lure-and-kill, or mating disruption. This review explains the sensory physiology and insect pest management techniques related with sex pheromone.

Susceptibility of the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus persimilis to 8 insecticides was evaluated. In treatments with insecticides tested, 78-92% of adult female predators survived after 168 hrs after treatment. Adult female predators treated with insecticides tested produced 62.6-93.4% as many eggs as did control females and eclosion of eggs deposited by treated predators was not affected. Moreover, hatch percentage of P. persimilis eggs and survival of nymphs were not seriously affected by exposure to the insecticides tested. Immatures of P. persimilis survived on the leaf disc treated with insecticides tested and 98-100% of immature predators reached adulthood. Based on the results, insecticides tested are expected to be promising candidates for use in integrated pest management program with P. persimilis.

Early, mid, and late maturing soybean varieties were artificially infested with larvae of Delia platura at seeding, and then later development and productivity of soybeans were studied. In addition, in hope to utilize as possible tactics in the management of D. platura in soybeans, cultural factors such as contents of organic matter in soil, soil types, and the use of plastic mulching on the degree of damage to soybean plants by D. platura were examined. Primary leaf damage by the larva delayed the forthcoming vegetative growth but not the blooming which is initiated by the change in day length. Degree of delay in growth was more severe where leaf damage was induced by insect infestation than where artificially excised, apparently owing to simultaneous damage in stems and roots besides primary leaves. Productivity of soybeans also dropped significantly in plants with 25 % or more loss in the primary leaf area by the larva. Both transparent and black plastic mulchings shortened the period from seeding to emergence of soybean thus reducing the chance of possible attack by the larva. Soybean seedlings grown in clay loam or clay were attacked less by the larva than those in other types of soil. High organic matter content in the soil enhanced speed of emergence resulting in less larval damage to the seedling.

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.

Although the history of IPM can be traced back to the late 19th century, when ecology was identified as the foundation for scientific plant protection, it has been more than thirty years since first enunciation. Since than, the concept of IPM has evolved in multiple paths not only in entomology but in plant pathology and in weed science, and the philosophy has become a firm foundation to the science of plant protection. The IPM concept has gained wide general acceptance, however, because of the many-facet aspects, there has been some controversy and/or misunderstanding by the students and practitioners. In this paper, I was tried to review the concepts of IPM and to resolve the contradiction between the philosophy and practical techniques. On this line, the historical background and the concept of economic injury level, which is the foundation of the concepts, are reviewed and discussed the sampling techniques and the population dynamics of single pest, which were basic to the rational and effective application of the management techniques. IPM is not a science per se but it is a technique and it should be applicable to the real conditions. For this purpose, the information on the pests should be transferred to the producers as fast as possible. From such, some of my own opinion is presented in relation to current systems of the pest occurrence forecasting.

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.

Hemipteran bugs, which were previously considered as secondary pests, have currently become important pests of numerous crops. Among them, Riptortus pedestris (Fabricius) is a major species that occurs in Korea, Japan, China, and South Asian countries. Riptortus pedestris infests leguminous crops like soybean, vetches, and red clover; fruit trees like persimmon and yuju; and grains like barley, foxtail millet, broomcorn, and sorghum. Riptortus pedestris causes the greatest damage to soybean, as it is the most suitable host for the bug. Feeding damage during pod formation significantly reduces the yield of soybean. Currently, 17 insecticides, including diazinon and etofenprox, are registered for the control of hemipteran bugs in Korea, and growers apply insecticides two to three times on a regular basis. Aggregation pheromone traps are widely used as a monitoring tool and partial control measure. The aggregation pheromone of R. pedestris attracts conspecific adults and nymphs and is used for food exploitation rather than sexual attraction. In addition, the pheromone serves as a kairomone for egg parasitoids such as Gryon japonicum (Ashmead) and Ooencyrtus nezarae Ishii. As a new method of pest management, nonviable host eggs were included in the pheromone trap to catch R. pedestris and propagate parasitoids. As a part of cultural practices, resistant soybean varieties with specific color and size of pod and control of flowering time through the alteration of planting date can be used. For the effective management of R. pedestris in the near future, development of cultural practices that can support natural control factors and the use of multiple control tactics are needed.

Integrated pest management system in Korean apple has significantly advanced for last few decades. However harmful effects of pesticides threats the ecosystem services of natural enemies and pollinators. Apple require cross-pollination and Insect pollination with diversity and abundance is one of the keys to profitable apple production in quantity and quality as well. Thus crop protection tools are to be administered in harmony to meet the pest suppression and protection of beneficial organisms such as natural enemies and pollinators. Adding onto the established IPM system, integrated pollinator-pest management (IPPM) concept is proposed as the future direction of apple IPM. For this, ecological enginnering of creating habitats for pollinators, landscape management and agroecosytem diversification as well as selective soft pesticide uses on time guided by pest monitoring and phenologyand targeted delivery are further proposed. Recent shift of agroecosystem from climate change and new pest outbreaks require new paradigm of pest management for sustainable agricultural production.
