Ametryn is used in USA, China, and Japan, but not introduced in Korea yet. So, MRL (Maximum Residue Level), and analytical method of ametryn were not establishment in Korea. Therefore, this experiment was conducted to establish a determination method for ametryn residue in crops using HPLC-UVD/MS. Ametryn residue was extracted with acetone from representative samples of five raw products which comprised hulled rice, soybean, apple, green pepper, and Chinese cabbage. The extract was diluted with saline water, and dichloromethane partition was followed to recover ametryn from the aqueous phase. Florisil column chromatography was additionally employed for final clean up of the extract. The ametryn was quantitated by HPLC with UVD, using a Tosoh ODS 120T ($4.6{\times}250$ mm) column. The crops were fortified with ametryn at 2 levels per crop. Mean recovery ratio were ranged from 83.7% for a 0.2 mg/kg in soybean to 91.1% for a 1.0 mg/kg in hulled rice. The coefficients of variation were ranged from 1.2% for a 1.0 mg/kg in hulled rice to 3.6% for a 1.0 mg/kg in soybean. Quantitative limit of amatryn was 0.02 mg/kg in representative 5 crop samples. A LC/MS with selected-ion monitoring was also provided to confirm the suspected residue. Therefore, this analytical method was reproducible and sensitive enough to determine the residue of ametryne in agricultural commodities.

In order to develop the indicators of environmental impact of pesticide, its actual usage in paddy rice was surveyed, and usage trends of individual pesticides were evaluated. The tendency of pesticide use indicated insecticide 43%, herbicide 29%, fungicide 27% and top ranking item in insecticide, herbicide and fungicide was carbofuran, molinate + pyrazosulfuran-ethyl, IBP. The usage statistics of formulation types showed GR>DP>WP>EC>FG>SP. Pesticide usage(a.i.) per hectare was 7.13kg and total usage for paddy rice was estimated at 8,387 M/T. In the result of comparison of fact-usage with pesticide consumption reported in 1998, the fitness was 94.7% for fungicide, 84.3% for insecticide, 77.8% for herbicide. The result of monitoring pesticide residue of unpolished-rice sampled from farm house of survey indicated 0.14 ppm(BPMC), 0.16 ppm(Isoprocarb), 0.17 ppm(Isoprothiolane). In case of rice straw, the residue level was 0.27 ppm(Isoprothiolane), 0.28 ppm(IBP), 0.39 ppm(Carbofuran). The residue levels of pesticides were below MRLs.

A study has been conducted to investigate the behavior of carbofuran in a miniature paddy agrosystem simulated for paddy field. Carbofuran applied onto the paddy water was rapidly absorbed and translocated into rice plants. Carbofuran concentration in rice plant reached its maximum level between 1 to 3 days after treatment and gradually decreased thereafter. Half life of carbofuran concentration in paddy water was 4 days in both application rates of 0.12 and 0.24Kg a.i./10a. Carbofuran residue in paddy soil was gradually dissipated with the half life of 8 and 12 days in 0.12 and 0.24㎏ a.i./l0a respectively. Range of carbofuran residue in brown rice and rice straw harvested from the paddy agrosystem was 0.01∼0.02 ppm and 0.37∼0.57 ppm irrespective of the two application rates respectively.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of heat treatment and germination on tricin and tricin 4'-O-(threo-${\beta}$-guaiacylglyceryl) ether (TTGE) formation from rice hull (Oryza sativa L.). Heat treatments were conducted at $80{\sim}140^{\circ}C$ for 1~5 h. Germination periods were 1~6 days at $37^{\circ}C$. Germinated rough rice extracts were classified as non-filtrated, filtrated, and residue after filtration. For heat treatment, the highest contents of tricin and TTGE were 253.12 and $208.39{\mu}g/g$ at $130^{\circ}C$ after 1 h, respectively. For germination, the highest contents of tricin and TTGE in rice hull were 118.20 and $95.37{\mu}g/g$ after 2 days, respectively. In the germinated rough rice extract treatment, the highest contents of tricin and TTGE were 361.76 and $308.08{\mu}g/g$, respectively, in residue after filtration of germinated rice extract for 6 days. Therefore, the optimum conditions for tricin and TTGE formation were heat treatment at $130^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, germination for 2 days, and addition of residue after filtration of germinated rough rice extract for 6 days.

Polar pesticides like pymetrozine (log $P_{ow}$: -0.18) are known to be difficult to analyze. The analytical method of pymetrozine using hydromatrix included in the official method of KFDA was uncommon and provided ambiguous evidence to confirm both the identity and the quantity. Therefore, precise single residue analytical method was developed in representative crops for using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE). The pymetrozine residue was extracted with methanol from 11 representative crops which comprised apple, blueberry, broccoli, cabbage, cherry, crown daisy, hulled rice, Korean cabbage, potato, rice and watermelon. The extract was purified serially by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and silica solid phase extraction (SPE). For rice and hulled rice samples, n-hexane partition was additionally adopted to remove nonpolar interferences, mainly lipids. The residue levels were analyzed by HPLC with DAD, using $C_8$ column. LOQ (limit of quantitation) of pymetroizinie was 1 ng (S/N > 10) and MQL (method quantitation limit) was 0.01 mg/kg. Mean recoveries from 11 crop samples fortified at three levels (MQL, 10 ${\times}$ MQL and 50 ${\times}$ MQL) in triplicate were in the range of 83.1~98.5% with coefficients of variation (CV) of less than 10%, regardless of sample type, which satisfies the criteria of KFDA. The method established in this study could be applied to most of crops as an official and general method for analysis of pymetrozine residue.

The rice husk is one of the major agricultural residue in KOREA. In this paper, the effects of various pulping conditions on the properties of rice husk pulp and handsheets made of rice husk fiber were evaluated in order to utilize the rice husk as an alternative source for wood pulp. Two typical alkali pulping, such as soda pulping and Kraft pulping were applied with various conditions of the pulping processes. The higher effective alkali and higher pulping temperature resulted in the higher efficiency in removal of lignin and ash, which leaded to the higher strength properties of handsheets made of rice husk fiber, but the lower yield of rice husk pulp. The better efficiency in production of rice husk pulp and the stronger handsheets were obtained by the Kraft pulping.

Residue levels of an organochlorine insecticide, BHC, were determined for brown rice samples produced in Korea by collection and field experiments to obtain the following results. 1) Residue levels of total BHC in 112 samples (an Indica type variety Tongil) produced in 1976 and collected from 9 provinces in proportion to the production level of rice ranged from 0.0010 to 0.0762 ppm, the average being 0.0061 ppm. 2) The residue levels in samples from Jeonbook, Kyongnam and Choongnam provinces were higher than the average for whole samples. BHC isomers were found in the order of ${\alpha}>{\gamma}>{\beta}>{\delta}$ isomers, and the detection frequency by range were 89.3% below 0.01 ppm, 9.8% for $0.01{\sim}0.05{\;}ppm$ and 0.9% for $0.05{\sim}0.10{\;}ppm$. 3) In field experiments according to conventional agronomical practices, the brown rice samples after spraying of BHC at the first generation time of rice stem borer (4 kg of 6% granular formulation/10 a paddy field) showed a little higher residue level than control samples, but not more than 0.035 ppm, whereas samples after spraying at the second generation time (3 kg/10 a) contained in the range of $0.04{\sim}0.19\;ppm$.

This study was undertaken in order to elucidate the elimination of phenthoate residues by washing and cooking processes of rice which if the most important food crop in Korea. When contaminated rice was washed with distilled water three times, the removal rate of total phenthoate was 51%. The removal rate in the successive washings was 37.3% (wash filtrate 7.8%, wash sediment 29.5%) in the first, 14.3% (wash filtrate 6.2%, wash sediment 8.1%) in the second and 8.9% (wash filtrate 5.8%, wash sediment 3.1%) in the third washings. More than half of the residue was removed by the first washing and most residues were found in the sediment rather than in the filtrate of the rice washings. The residue rate of phenthoate after cooking by an electric rice cooker was 41%, indicating that the removal rate after cooking was 59%, because phenthoate is thermally stable at the cooking temperature. In conclusion, phenthoate residues contaminated in rice grains are grcatly removed in the washing process and it is desirable to wash the grains before cooking in order to decrease the hazards from pesticide residues such as phenthoate. Reduction factor of phenthoate in rice cooking is proposed to be 0.4.
