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.

In June 2023, at the oat field on Kongju National University's Yesan Campus, flies infected with an entomopathogenic fungus were discovered. The flies were hanging with their wings folded backward. Fungal mycelia had sprouted on the abdomens of the flies. An analysis of the 28S ribosomal RNA sequence confirmed that the fungus was Entomophthora muscae. Moreover, cytochrome oxidase sequence analysis of the host insect identified it as Delia platura.

A series of experiments was undertaken to learn bionomics and gowt plant resistance of the seedcorn maggot, Delia platura(Meigen), under controlled(24$\pm$$2^{\circ}C$, RH70$\pm$5%, and LD 16:8h)and field conditions. The preoviposition period for the flies was 9 days. The females survived for an average of 50(3-77) and the males for 24(1-59) days. A greater proportion of flies emerged between 6:00 A.M. and 9:00 A.M., soon after the sun rise. After the over-wintering, adults started to emerge in mid-April from pupae located near the soil surface, and peaked in late April by others located deeper. The sex ratio was about 1:1 with total samples of 1,609 females and 1,641 males. Weight of pupae reared from onion was heavier than those from other diets in the laboratory, however its size was samller than that of natural flies. Considerably more eggs were laid near pea seeds than other hosts tested. Among beans, Bapmitkong with blue seed-coat and a cowpea bean strain were preferred for oviposition. 'Namcheon` cultivar was found to be susceptible to attack by the larvae in the laboratory.

These studies were conducted to investigate the effect of temperature on the developmentof Delia platura (Meigen) under a laboratory condition at five different temperatures. The developmentalperiods of D. platurcr from egg to adult emcrgence at the temperatures of 11, 15, 19, 23, and 27$^{\circ}$C were67.8k 14.5, 43.7t-9.4, 31.2-t-7.0, 22.4k4.9, and 18.3k4.1 days, respectively. Based on these results,threshold temperature of development and effective cumulative degree-day (DD) for overall developmentwas 0.6"C and 579.8 DD, respectively. Generation of time D. pluturci averaged 30.8 days, and meannumber of eggs produced per female was 246.5 k 16.9 at 23$^{\circ}$C. Hatching rate and emergence rate curvesin relation to the temperature was dome shaped with the peak of 90.0 and 85.2% at 23"C, it wassuggesting that hatching and emergence were inhibited by high temperature above that temperature.Pupation rate of the insect reared on garlic and on onion were higher than those reared on other diets.Oviposition of D. platum usually began 7-9 days after emergence at 23$^{\circ}$C. Females laid about 3-4 eggsin a day. Oviposition of the females peaked at the age of 12- 18 days after emergence. of 12- 18 days after emergence.

This survey was conducted to illustrate insect pests and their natural enemies in soybean fields in Honam area. A total of 23 pest species in 13 families and 13 species of natural enemy were observed during 2002 to 2003. Delia platura, Medythia nigrobilineata, Spodoptera exigua and Aphis glycines occurred relatively with high population densities during the early growth stage of soybean. Dolycoris baccarum, Riptortus clavatus, Nezara antennata, Piezodorus hybneri and Halyomorpha halys began to occur between mid July to early August and lasted until the harvest time. Lepidopteran insect pests, Leguminivora glycinivorella, Pleuroptya ruralis, Scopula missaria, Macdunnoughia purissima and Spodoptera litura occurred significantly in late August in soybean field. Natural enemies of soybean insect pests observed in this survey were seven parasitoids, five predators, and an entomopahogenic fungus. Two egg parasitoid species for R. clavatus, two parasitoid species for P. ruralis, and five natural enemy species (including parasite, predator and entomopathogenic fungi) for either S. litura or A. glycines were identified, respectively. Among them two egg parasitoid species, Gryon japonicum and Ooenyrtus nezarae for R. clavatus, for and one parasitoid species for P. ruralis, that belong to Bethylidae, were new to Korea.

This study investigated field data to understand the spatio-temporal distribution of pollinating insects and buckwheat flowers. We set the in-situ observation sites in different locations to get altitude and cropping system distribution data for five years (2016 to 2020) in Korea. Twenty-five different insect species, belonging to 8 orders, were recorded. Over the past five years, species from the orders Diptera and Hymenoptera were the principal visitors. Hymenoptera was mainly represented by honey bees (Apis cerana), while Diptera was represented by bean seed fly (Delia platura) and several other species. Some bees and other Hymenoptera species could, however, act as co-pollinators because of their high relative frequency and activity. Compared with open-field cultivation (conventional), the pollination mediating effect of flies and bees was superior in net house, so the yield was high, and it was also found to be slightly higher in the mixed treatment of flies and bees than in the single treatment. Based on the above results, flies and bees were found to be the most active pollinating insects in buckwheat and it is necessary to actively utilize the selected insects to improve buckwheat productivity. This relationship will be utilized in establishing the system of seed production on pollinating regulation of a primary plant.

The purpose of this study is to understand meteorological and climatological factors that have influence on the garlic product in Seosan and Taean, and to analyze the economic value according to the use of climatical information data for garlic farmers. The climatological characteristics and trends in this area are analyzed using the meteorological data at the Seosan local meteorological agency from 1984 to 2013, the national statistical data for the product of garlic from 1989 to 2013, and the scenario data for climate change (RCP 4.5 and 8.5) for the period from 2001 to 2100. The results are as follows. First, the condition of lower temperature for garlic growth in winter season is satisfied with the mean air temperature. The wind speed are lower and stronger in Seosan and Taean than other garlic area. The suitable condition for the growth of northern type of garlic shows the decreasing trend in the accumulated precipitation in May. However, the area of growing the northern type garlic in the future is likely diminished because mean air temperature, accumulated precipitation, and mean wind speed are strong in the harvest time of garlic. Second, the seedtime of the northern and southern type of garlic using climate change scenarios (RCP 4.5, 8.5) in Seosan and Taean is getting late as time passes. and the harvest time gets faster, which indicates s that the period of garlic cultivation becomes shorter from 50 days to around 90 in the next 100 years. Third, the beginning days of white rot and delia platura of garlic are estimated by applying to the meteorological algorithm using mean air temperature and soil humidity. Especially, the beginning day of white rot garlic is shown to be faster according to the scenarios of RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. Fourth, the product of garlic (kg/10a) shows a high correlation with the minimum air temperature of a wintering time, the mean wind speed of a wintering time, the accumulated precipitation of a corpulent time, and the mean relative humidity of corpulent time of garlic. On the other hand, the analysis of garlic product when using the meteorological information data in cultivating garlic in Seosan and Taean reveals that the economic value increases up to 9% in total.
