Percentage of Bakanae infection of rice seedlings grown in nursery box was higher than rice seedlings grown in protected semi-irrigated nursery regardless of seed treatment. Rice seedlings grown in nursery box had higher Bakanae symptom ratio than that of the rice seedlings grown in protected semi-irrigated nursery in the paddy field conditions after transplanting. Grain yield of rice transplanted from nursery box was lower than that of the rice in protected semi-irrigated nursery.

The control activity of isoprothiolane and tricyclazole mixed with carbosulfan, and probenazole by the nursery treatment was performed against rice leaf and neck blast caused by Magnaporthe grisea. In the paddy field, three fungicides showed good activities against leaf blast 3 months after nursery treatment. Especially the activity of tricyclazole against leaf blast gradually increased by the laps of time to 85.5％, which was assessed at 6 September,2003. Although the control value of isoprotholane and tricyclazole mixed with carbosulfan against neck blast was 47.5％ and 61.1％, respectively, probenazole showed a very high activity against not only leaf blast but also neck blast, of which that was 91.2％. No phytotoxicity was observed in all the treatments after transplanting rice seedling in the paddy field. Based on these results, three systemic fungicides tested in this study showed such a good potential that they might be used to formulate the nursery treating granule.

A wide variety of pathogens are known io be seedborne, carried either as infectious mycelium internally or as contaminants on the seed coat. When seed is infected with a pathogen, the seed nay be rendered nonviable or it may remain viable but produce weak seedling. In some cases, the Infected seedling nay not be severely weakened, but nay serve as a source of primary inoculum within a community of plants. A recent problem nay be the dissemination of seedborne pathogens occurring as a result of the massive movements of seed, as a part of the 'Green revolution' Disease of great danger to agriculture may be introduced with seed from other parts of world. Seed treatment with organic mercury compounds in liquid form had become popular since about 1955. Organic mercury compounds contributed considerably to the increase in production of many crops and vegetables. In 1975, however, the use of organic mercury compound was forbidden because of doubts regarding their residual mammalian toxicity in agricultural products. Benomyl-thiram mixture, thiophanate methyl-;hiram mixture and TCMB have now been registered as seed disinfectants for the use of rice blast, brown spot and Bakanae disease. Oxathiinsthiram mixture has been registered as seed disinfectant for barley and wheat loose smut and leaf stripe of barley. Agricultural techniques have made such rapid progress that the nursery methods changed from the use of paddy nursery to box nursery designed for machine-transplanting. The spread of rice transplanting machines has caused increase of seedborne diseases. Among seedborne diseases, Bakanae disease has remarkably increased and causes much damage recently. In order to counter this trend, seed disinfectants must also be diversified. First, effective non-selective disinfectants need to be developed, and second, appropriate control methods always need to be prepared in parallel with the development of new techniques for cultivation.

In order to develop effective acclimatization methods for Aralia elata plantlets regenerated from somatic embryos, various acclimatizing conditions were compared regarding both survival rate and growth of the plantlets. The plantlets were transplanted into plastic boxes containing artificial soil in the presence of either several levels of MS liquid media, distilled water, 2% sucrose or 0.1% hyponex solution. They were then cultured by spraying of distilled water twice a week and maintained in the normal tissue culture room. Perlite was proved to be better than vermiculite on survival rate and growth of the plantlets. As the size of perlite (larger than 0.2 cm in diameter) increased, both the survival rate and growth of the plantlets improved. Among the various MS liquid media and different aqueous solutions tested, distilled water appeared to result in the best survival rate and growth. MS media were also effective in increasing survival rate and supporting growth when diluted to 1/4 and/or 1/8. The acclimatized plantlets could be transplanted directly onto the nursery bed and grown normally. The above results suggest that plantlets regenerated from somatic embryos of Aralia elata be effectively acclimatized using a plastic box containing perlite with distilled water treatment.

The machine transplanted rice has highly extended in the Republic of Korea due to a wage rise since 1976 and thus rice seedling raising nursery method has shifted from field into polyethylene film house. The rice seedling grown under a polyethylene film house was weak and tall because of limited sunlight and wind and so there was so complained among rice growing farmers in terms of missing hill and broken seedling after machine transplanting. In recent iron-coated seedling has reported on healthier and stronger than that of polyethylene film house. These seedlings were more stiff and thus more easy to handle during transplanting and less missing hills. The Iron-coated seed was proven to more stiff like seedling height, root growth and weight of shoot and root growth. This was more convenient during transfer of seedling raising box im machine transplanting. Thus, this study was carried out to grow a stiff and healthy seedling growth and development for machine transplanting. There were a normal seed germination and sprouting after iron-coated seeds treatment and this seedling was smaller and stiffer than that of untreated control. The leaf number and root growth of seedling which was iron-coated seeds would be better and total seedling fresh weight was greater than that of untreated control.

Incidence of rice stripe disease, caused by Rice stripe tenuivirus (RSV), was surveyed during 2002 to 2004. The incidence area and ratio of diseased fields were decreased gradually during those period. Rate of diseased plants were 45.8%, 45.0% and 43.7% in the susceptible cultivars Chucheong, Saechucheong and Ilpum, respectively. However, the rate was 4.4% in resistant cultivar Hwaseong. In addition, breakdown rate was also significantly high in the susceptible cultivars in Chucheong, Saechucheong and Ilpum showing 33.6, 33.2 and 31.9%, respectively. In Hwaseong, the breakdown rate was 0.8%. Collection efficiency was compared between two insect vector collection methods. Insect-sucking machine method was much more efficient than sweeping net method in collecting small brown plant hopper (SBPH). According to the survey of the population density of the insect vector during 2002 to 2004, the national average population density was gradually decreased year by year, 3.6, 2.3, and 1.3%, respectively. This result was significantly related with the decrease of the incidence of rice stripe disease. Control efficiency of rice stripe disease by treating several seedling box and water surface with insecticides against SBPH resulted that imidacloprid GR, Fipronil FG, Clothianidin+Probenazole GR and Thiamethoxam GR showed over 80% of control efficiency at 28 days after treatment at the early stage in nursery.
