This study was conducted to evaluate the adsorption, desorption, leaching and degradation pattern of fungicide fluazinam in the soil environment under the laboratory conditions. The mode of isothermal adsorption of fluazinam in soil was coincident with the Freundlich equation. The adsorption amount of fluazinam was much higher on soils containing organic matter than on soils oxidized with hydrogen peroxide. The presence of organic matter, humic acid or fulvic acid, increased the adsorption amount of fluazinam on soils. The Freundlich constant K was much higher in soil added with humic acid than in soil added with fulvic acid. The desorption ratio of fluazinam adsorbed to soil was increased by removal of organic matter. In leaching experiment using soil column, the fluazinam applied on the soil surface was not moved down to the bottom of soil and was not detected in leachate water. The degradation of fluazinam was faster in Soil I with rich organic matter than Soil II with poor organic matter, in non-sterilized soil than sterilized soil, and in flooded soil than unflooded soil.

This experiment was conducted to establish an official determination method to measure fluazinam residue in horticultural crops for import and export using GC-ECD/MS. Fluazinam residue was extracted with acetone from fresh samples of four representative horticultural products, the vegetable crops green pepper and kimchi cabbage, and the fruit crops mandarin and apple. The acetone extract was diluted with saline water and n -hexane partitioning was used to recover fluazinam from the aqueous phase. Florisil column chromatography was additionally employed for final purification of the extract. Fluazinam was separated and quantitated by GC with ECD using a DB-17 capillary column. The horticultural crops were fortified with three different concentrations of fluazinam. Mean recoveries ranged from 82.5% to 99.9% in the four crops. The coefficients of variation were less than 10.0%. The quantitative limit of fluazinam detection was $0.004mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in the four crop samples. GC/MS with selected-ion monitoring was also used to confirm the suspected residue. This analytical method was reproducible and sensitive enough to measure the residue of fluazinam in horticultural commodities for import and export.

Seed decay of soybean caused by Diaporthe phaseolorum, Colletotrichum truncatum and Cercospora kikuchii is a serious disease when soybean is harvested under warm and wet weather conditions. Benomyl has been used for controlling the disease, however, benomyl application may be limited due to common occurrence of resistance. The efficacy of 21 fungicides against the pathogens was evaluated in vitro. Among the fungicides tested, benomyl, carbendazim, fluazinam, iprodione+propineb, thiophanate-methyl, and triflumizole were found effective and were evaluated for their ability to control the seed pathogens. Fluazinam completely inhibited mycelial growth at a concentration of 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$\textrm{m}{\ell}$ for D. phaseolorum; and at a concentration of 500 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$\textrm{m}{\ell}$ for C. truncatum and C. kikuchii. $EC_90$ values of fluazinam were similar to that of benomyl. Because fluazinam, iprodione+propineb, and triflumizole were found effective against the seed pathogens, these were subjected for field-testing. Suppression of pod and seed infection by fluazinam and iprodione+propineb was as high as that of benomyl without any reduction in agronomic characters of soybean. This study shows that fluazinam and iprodione+propineb may be used in combination with benomyl to control seed pathogens, manage resistance, and ensure production of high quality soybean seeds.

The field lysimeter study was undertaken to investigate influence of agricultural practice and topography on runoff and erosion loss of fluazinam from the sloped land grown pepper. The WP type formulation was applied on July in 2003~2005. The wash-off rates were from 1.4% to 8.4% of the applied fluazinam. The runoff losses of fluazinam from a series of pepper grown-lysimeter plots were 0.14~0.90% in the first year, 0.01~0.04% in the second year and 0.16~0.37% in the third year for the mulched contour ridge plots, 0.47~1.59% for the mulched up-down direction ridge plots and 0.07~1.05% for the no-mulched contour ridge plots as the control, and they increased with slope degree. Concentrations of fluazinam in runoff water ranged mostly to 10 ${\mu}gL^{-1}$ at the first runoff event. Erosion rates from plots except the mulched up-down direction ridge plots was 0.00~0.21% for 10% and 20% slope-plots and 0.15~1.05% for 30% slope-plots with different slope degrees. Erosion rates from the mulched up-down direction ridge plots were 0.47~1.59% for 10% slope-plots and 0.75~1.05% for 20% slope-plots. Residues of fluazinam in soil at ten days after the application ranged from 0.007 mg $kg^{-1}$ to 0.059 mg $kg^{-1}$ except the soil under the mulch. After then the fluazinam residue in soil was dissipated at the rate of 20 days of half-life to below 0.01 mg $kg^{-1}$ at 60 days after the application.

Damping-off of summer spinach caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG-4 has become a very important disease. For the control of summer spinach damping-off, antifungal activity of thirteen fungicides (pencycuron, trifloxystrobin, pyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin, kresoxim-methyl, validamycin, fluazinam, Benlate-T, flutolanil, cyazofamid, hexaconazole, tebuconazole, prochloraz) were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Pencycuron, pyraclostrobin, validamycin, fluazinam, Benlate-T, hexaconazole, tebuconazole, and flutolanil significantly suppressed the mycelial growth of the pathogenic fungus. However, trifloxystrobin, azoxystrobia kresoxim-methyl, cyazofamid, and prochloraz did not represent good inhibition on the growth of R. solani. When applied by soil drenching (2,000 mg/L), pencycuron, pyraclostrobin, validamycin, fluazinam, Benlate-T, and flutolanil provided spinach survival ratios of 97.8%, 84.4%, 93.3%, 95.6%, 91.1%, and 86.7%, respectively. Also when treated in seed at 2,000 ing/L, pencycuron and pyraclostrobin displayed survival ratios of more than 85.1%.

In vitro experiments, several fungicides including prochloraz, tebuconazole, fluazinam, fludioxonil, and iminoctadine-triacetate showed more than 85% inhibition of mycelial growth of Pestalotiopsis theae (SP-3). Dichlofluanid and chlorothalonil inhibited mycelial growth at the rate of 10 and 33%, however benomyl did not inhibit mycelial growth of the fungus. Minimum inhibitory concentration(MICs) of iminictadine-triacetate on the mycelial growth of SP-3 isolate was $10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, but that of P. theae $\underline{MAFF}$ 752002 and P. longiseta $\underline{MAFF}$ 752001 was $1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. MIC of benomyl, chlorothalonil, dichlorofluanid was $1,000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, and that of fludioxonil, fluazinam, tebuconazole was $10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. Conidial germination was inhibited more than 80% in tile medium which contained $1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of prochloraz, tebuconazole, fluazinam, fludioxonil, and minoctadine-triacetate. Control values of benomyl, chlorothalonil and dichlofluanid were 40, 60 and 30%, respectively. The controlling effect of iminoctadine-triacetate ($10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) aganist P. theae (SP-3) in leaf disc test was more than 93%, but benomyl and dichlofluanid could not control leaf blight disease caused by P. theae (SP-3). Tebuconazole, fluazinam, fludioxonil, and iminoctadine-triacetate showed more than 94% of protective and curative effect of leaf blight of sweet persimmon, while, benomyl and dichlofluanid did not show any control effect of the disease.

Three fungicides, Orbit (propiconazole), Benlate (benomyl) and ASC-66835 (fluazinam), were tested as soil drenches to control disappearing root rot (DRR) of ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) in gardens artificially infested with Cylindrocarpon dsstrutans. The incidence of DRR was low (0∼3.5%) in uninfected plots and significantly higher in infested plots (2.6∼19.9%). Significant reductions in the incidence of DRR were observed in 1-year-old and 2-year-old gardens that were treated and assessed for disease in the same year Significant control was not obtained in 3-year-old gardens treated and as secede in the same year, or in 1-year-old or 2-year-old gardens assessed in the year following information. Disease incidence was significantly reduced by 49-77% by low and high rates of benomyl (45 and 1,250 mg a.1./L) and propiconazole (10 and 40 mg a.i./L) and by fluazinam at 150 mg a.i./L. These fungicides seem to be worthy of further investigation as soil drenches to control DRR of ginseng.

Pseudomonas sp. antagonistic to Colletotrichum truncatum and C. gloesporioies was selected as a biological control agent for soybean anthracnose. Pseudomonas sp. inhibited the mycelial growth of pathogens effectively as the funhicides such as benomyl and fluazinam in vitro tests without any adverse effects on soybean. Seed treatment with Pseudomonas sp. increased emergence rate of soybean seeds significantly after inoculaton with C. truncatum. When the suspension of Pseudomonas sp. was sprayed on soybean plants, the control efficacy was not different from that of fungicides, benomyl and fluazinam two weeks after treatment, however the efficacy did not last long enough after three weeks.

Colletotrichum acutatum s. lat. 20JDS8 sensitive and 20CDJ6 resistant to pylaclostrobin were used to investigate the cross-resistance with fungicides belonging to the strobilurins and the characteristics of fungicidal controlling activities with different mechanisms against the isolate resistant to the fungicide. The resistant isolate of 20CDJ6 also showed the resistance to azoxystrobin, trifloxystrobin, and kresoxim-methyl, suggesting that there is a cross-resistance relationship. All fungicides with different action mechanisms inhibited mycelial growth of both susceptible and resistant isolates of C. acutatum s. lat., but their disease control effects in fruits were different according to the fungicides. The disease control effect of isopyrazam against 20JDS8 and 20CDJ6 was very low, and fluazinam showed a control effect of 91.9% and 88.1% against 20JDS8 and 20CDJ6 only when it was treated before inoculation by spraying spore suspensions on pepper fruits without wounds. Tebuconazole and prochloraz effectively inhibited not only the mycelial growth of 20JDS8 and 20CDJ6 on potato dextrose agar medium, but also disease incidence in red pepper fruits. As a result of this study, C. acutatum s. lat. 20CDJ6 resistant to pyraclostrobin showed cross-resistance with other strobilurin fungicides. In addition, we think that fluazinam, tebuconazole, and prochloraz can be recommended as alternative fungicides for the control of red-pepper pyranthracnose pathogens resistant pyraclostrobin. However, fluazinam can be effective only if it is treated protectively before the occurrence of the disease.

The toxicities of 37 commercial pesticides for citrus pests were evaluated to H, fallacis. Eight fungicides (difenoconazole, imibenconazole, azoxystrobin, dithianon, fluazinam, procymidon, streptomycin, tribasic copper sulfate), three insecticides (dichlovos, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam) and four acaricides (milbemectin, tetradifon, dicofol, spirodiclofen) had lower effect to the hatchability of eggs N. fallacis. Six fungicides (propineb, difenoconazole, imibenconazole, azoxystrobin, dithianon, procymidon) and three acaricides (bifenazate, tetradifon, spirodiclofen) showed lower contact toxicity to adult N. fallacis. The secondary toxicity of 26 pesticides to N. fallacis adult were evaluated. Two fungicides (fluazinam, streptomycin) and 3 acaricides (machine oil, cyhexatin, halfenprox) showed low toxicity when the prey (eggs of spider mite) was treated with pesticides.
