On May of 2002, the 34 isolates of Rhizoctonia solani were isolated from the symptom of damping-off on basal stems of 2-year-old to 6-year-old Panax ginseng which were cultivated in the 17 fields in Kyunggi-do, Chun­gcheungnam-do and Jeollabuk-do province in Korea. All isolates were identified as anastomosis group 2-1. Pre-emer­gence damping-off occurred on underground part of stem of 2-year-old ginseng in the pot trial with artificial inoculation. However, in the 4-year-old ginseng field with artificial inoculation, post-emergence damping-off occurred. The severe incidence of damping-off was found in the 6-year-old ginseng field in Kimje-si, Jeollabuk-do province on June 5 of 2003, the rate of which showed $18.6{\%}$ of area in the field by spread of the disease since 2-year-old. The sclerotia of R. solani, started to be formed after 7 days incubation on potato dextrose agar at $25^{\circ}C,$ were grayish brown, spherical to irregular and about $500{\mu}m$ in diameter, which became dark brown after 14 days incubation. The temperature range for the myce­lial growth of R. solani isolates was $5\~30^{\circ}C,$ and the optimal temperature was $25^{\circ}C,$ their growth were very poor at $5\;or\;30^{\circ}C$. The isolates grew at the range of pH $4.5\~8.1$ tested and optimal pH for growth was pH 4.5$\~5.8%, whereas their growth were very poor above the pH 7.2.

Chrysanthemum plants are one of the most economically important plants in South Korea. Both virus and viroid can cause diseases and economic damage to the plants. In this study, we investigated the detection of seven viruses and two viroids in 350 chrysanthemum plants cultivated in Yesan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do. Two viruses, chrysanthemum virus B (CVB) and tomato aspermy virus (TAV), and two viroids, chrysanthemum chlorotic mottle viroid (CChMVd) and chrysanthemum stunt viroid (CSVd), were detected in this study. The two viruses were detected in six samples and one sample, respectively. The two viroids were detected in 97 samples and 21 samples, respectively. The nucleotide sequences of the CVB-CN-Y, TAV-CN-Y, CChMVd-CN-Y, and CSVd-CN-Y obtained in this study showed 83.7-86.9%, 99.2-100.0%, 94.4-99.5%, and 95.7-99.7% identity, respectively, compared to their other strains/isolates. The CVB-CN-Y and TAV-CN-Y showed the greatest nucleotide sequence homology to CVB-GS1 and three TAV isolates (TAV-V, TAV-P, and TAV-ChJ), respectively. The CChMVd-CN-Y and CSVd-CN-Y showed the greatest nucleotide sequence homology to CChMVd-Horst and four CSVd isolates (Au1.1, K4pop, Sagae, and Tochigi), respectively. This study is the report on the infection rate of viruses and viroids in chrysanthemum plants cultivated in Yesan-gun in 2021.

The effects of five fungicides on the spore growth phase of Alternaria dauci, which causes carrot leaf blight, were tested using the spore viability assay (SVA) and agar dilution method (ADM). The average EC₅₀ values for chlorothalonil against seven isolates of A. dauci examined by SVA and ADM were 14.21 ㎍/ml and more than 100 ㎍/ml. Dithianon and folpet also had lower EC₅₀ values in SVA than in ADM, while iminoctadine trisalbesilate had lower EC₅₀ value in ADM. For fluazinam, the EC₅₀ values of SVA and ADM were 1.63 and 2.40 ㎍/ml, respectively. As EC₅₀ values of five fungicides according to the spore growth phase of A. dauci KACC 42997, the efficacy of each fungicide as chlorothalonil, dithianon, and folpet decreased when treated after spore germination rather than when treated with spores before germination. However, iminoctadine tris-albesilate was more effective when treated after spores germinated than when treated before treatment. The excellent effect of fluazinam on the pathogen was maintained until A. dauci KACC 42997 was cultured in potato dextrose broth for 6 hr and the germ tube grew beyond the size of the spore. However, when treated with iminoctadine tris-albesilate and fluazinam after culturing for 12 hr, as the EC₅₀ values of the two fungicides increased to 8.87 and 20.65 ㎍/ml, their efficacies decreased. The results of this study show that the treatment time of the fungicide should be determined by considering the effect of the fungicide on the spore growth phase of pathogens.

In this study, we analyzed Korean dietary habits with food intake data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) and the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and we proposed a set of management guidelines for future Korean dietary habits. A total of 839 food items (1,419 foods) were analyzed according to the food catagories in "Food Code", which is the representative food classification system in Korea. The average total daily food intake was 1,585.77 g/day, with raw and processed foods accounting for 858.96 g/day and 726.81 g/day, respectively. Cereal grains contributed to the highest proportion of the food intake. Over 90% of subjects consumed cereal grains (99.09%) and root and tuber vegetables (95.80%) among the top 15 consumed food groups. According to the analysis by item, rice, Korean cabbage kimchi, apple, radish, egg, chili pepper, onion, wheat, soybean curds, potato, cucumber and pork were major (at least 1% of the average daily intake, 158.6 g/day) and frequently (eaten by more than 25% of subjects, 5,168 persons) consumed food items, and Korean spices were at the top of this list. In the case of kimchi, the proportion of intake of Korean cabbage kimchi (64.89 g/day) was the highest. In the case of alcoholic beverages, intake was highest by order of beer (63.53 g/day), soju (39.11 g/day) and makgeolli (19.70 g/day), and intake frequency was high in order of soju (11.3%), beer (7.2%), and sake (6.6%). Analysis results by seasonal intake trends showed that cereal grains have steadily decreased and beverages have slightly risen. In the case of alcoholic beverage consumption frequency, some kinds of makgeolli, wine, sake, and black raspberry wine have decreased gradually year by year. The consumption trend for kimchi has been gradually decreasing as well.
