In this experiment, 236 isolates of Botrytis cinerea isolated from the lesions of ginseng grey mold in 2005 and 2006 were examined for their sensitivity to fungicide inhibiting ${\beta}-tubulin$ assembly. The baselines of fungicide resistance were determined as 10.0 and $0.2{\mu}g/ml$ of $EC_{50}$ values for carbendazim and the mixture of carbendazim and diethofencarb, respectively. The ratios of isolates resistant to carbendazim in 2005 and 2006 was investigated to be 87.6 and 96.6%, respectively. In the case of the mixture of carbendazim and diethofencarb, the ratio of the resistant isolates was 23.6% for 2005 and 24.5% for 2006. The ratio of the resistant isolates to the mixed fungicide was fluctuated according to regions where isolates of B. cinerea were obtained. In Yeoncheon of Gyeonggi Province, 4.3% of the isolates used in the experiment was resistant in 2005 and no resistant isolate was obtained in 2006. Among 5 regions, the ratio of resistant isolates was the highest as 70.0% in Yecheon of Gyeongbuk Province.

It was conducted to identify all 47 isolates obtained from infected fruits of pepper and boxthorn, and to investigate the mycological characteristics and the response to fungicides. All of 11 isolates from pepper were identified as Colletotrichum acutatum included into A2 group. Among 36 isolates from boxthorn, 14 isolates were identified as C. gloeosporioides, and the others were done as C. acutatum, which were composed as A1 group with 15 isolates and A3 with 7 isolates. After incubating the isolates on PDA at $25^{\circ}C$ for 10 days, the colony color of C. acutatum was greyish white, while that of C. gloeosporioides was orange at center of colony and was gradually turned into an greyish white to the periphery. The rate of conidia showing ellongated ellipsoidal shape with round ends was over 95% in C. acutatum isolated from pepper. However, C. acutatum isolated from boxthorn produced ellongated ellipsoidal conidia with the rate of 75%, and the others were pointed at one or both ends. Regardless of species of Colletotrichum, all isolated used in this study was showed an optimal temperature at $25^{\circ}C$. $EC_{50}$ values of all isolates of Colletotrichum spp. to 2 fungicides as carbendazim and the mixture of carbendazim and diethofencarb was investigated by an agar dilution method. With C. acutatum isolates from pepper belonged to A2 group, the mean of $EC_{50}$ value to carbendazim and the mixture of carbendazim and diethofencarb was 0.68 and $3.16{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. In the case of C. acutatum isolates from boxthorn, which were divided into 2 groups as A1 and A3 group, that to carbendazim was 0.21 at A1 and $0.24{\mu}g/ml$ at A3, while that to the mixture was 1.52 and $3.35{\mu}g/ml$. Isolates of C. gloeosporioides showed the mean of $EC_{50}$ value was $0.12{\mu}g/ml$ to carbendazim and $0.92{\mu}g/ml$ to the mixture. The value of resistant factor was higher in the isolates of C. acutatum obtained in boxthorn than those from pepper.

Effects of fungicides on the mycelial growth of Botrytis cinerea isolated from ginseng leaves were investigated by an agar dilution method. By using a agar dilution method, it was investigated the effect of fungicides, procymidone, carbendazim and the mixture with both of carbendazim and diethofencarb, on the mycelial growth of Botrytis cinerea isolates, which were isolated from infected leaves of ginseng in 2005 and 2006. With MIC (minimum inhibiton concentration) of procymidone against B. cinerea, pathogens were divided into two groups. While one showed the low MIC between 0.8 and $4.0{\mu}g/ml$, the other showed higher MIC above $20{\mu}g/ml$. In terms of the inhibition ratio of mycelial growth at the indicated concentration of procymidone, isolates of B. cinerea were divided into three groups; the sensitive, the intermediate resistant, and the resistant group. Each group was differentiated by $EC_{50}$; the sensitive group showed below $2.0{\mu}g/ml$, the intermediate resistant group between 2.0 to $5.0{\mu}g/ml$, and resistant group above $5.0{\mu}g/ml$. Compared with the ratio of resistant isolates of B. cinerea in 2005, the ratio in 2006 increased from 19.3% to 27.5%. Furthermore, the average $EC_{50}$ value of them increased from $10.0{\mu}g/ml$ in 2005 to $237.3{\mu}g/ml$ in 2006. The ratio of isolates showing the multiple resistance between procymidone and carbendazim was 40.2%, whereas the ratio was 4.0% showing the multiple resistance in the mixture.

Pear scab caused by Venturia nashicola has been reported as an important disease of pear resulting in lowering the quality of pear fruits. In this study, it was conducted to investigate the relationship between resistance of V. nashicola and mutation of ${\beta}$-tubulin gene and the fungicide resistance in field isolate group in benzimidazole fungicides. Responce of V. nashicola to carbendazim could be classified into 3 groups as sensitive that does not grow at all on PDA amended with $0.16{\mu}g/ml$ of carbendazim, low resistance that could not grow in $4.0{\mu}g/ml$ medium, and high resistance that can grow even at $100{\mu}g/ml$. Thirty isolates of V. nashicola collected from 3 regions as Wonju, Naju, and Okcheon were highly resistant to carbendazim. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of ${\beta}$-tubulin gene of V. nashicola showed that there was no difference in the nucleotide sequence between the sensitive and the low-resistant isolate, but GAG at codon 198 (glutamic acid) was replaced with GCG (alanine) in the high-resistant isolate. Among 10 isolates obtained from the Okcheon, 5 isolates showed the substitution of glycine for glutamic acid, which were resistant to carbendazim, but more sensitive to the mixture of carbendazim and diethofencarb than others. Through these results, all isolates of V. nashicola isolated in pear orchard were found to be resistant to benzimidazoles. Also, mutants E198A and E198G at ${\beta}$-tubulin were found to be important mechanisms of V. nashicola resistance against benzimidazole fungicides.

This study has been conducted to investigate the responses of various isolates of four Colletotrichum species such as C. gloeosporioides, C acutatum, C. coccodes, and C. dematium isolated from infected tissues of several crops to fungicides such as carbendazim, carbendazim+diethofencarb, four protective fungicides, and three ergosterol biosynthesis-inhibiting (EBI) fungicides. All the isolates of C. acutatum showed $EC_{50}$ values in a range of 0.001-3.040 ${\mu}g/ml$ against carbandazim, a benzimidazole fungicide. As for the response to carbendazim, the isolates of C. gloeosporioides obtained from pepper, apple, and strawberry were clearly divided into two groups, resistant or sensitive isolates. All the resistant isolates showed $EC_{50}$ values above 1000 ${\mu}g/ml$, whereas the sensitive isolates had lower $EC_{50}$ values than 0.550 ${\mu}g/ml$. The isolates of C. gloeosporioides exhibited a negative cross resistance between carbendazim and diethofencarb (a N-phenylcarbamate fungicide), but isolates of C. acutatum did not. Toward carbendazim, C. coccodes and C. dematium isolates showed a similar response to C. acutatum isolates and the sensitive isolates of C. gioeosporioides, respectively. As for response of Protective fungicides, all the isolates of C. acutatum showed a more resistant reaction than all the isolates of C. gloeosporioides. However, there was no difference among 4 species of Colletotrichum against EBI fungicides.

In 2008, a number of 110 isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides were obtained from infected twigs of persimmon (Diospyros kaki) collected at Sangju and four fungicides (carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl, mancozeb, and propineb) were evaluated to determine their growth effect on fungicide-medium. Among them, the mycelial growth of 68.2 and 35.5% of isolates was inhibited over 91% in response to carbendazim ($415{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) and thiophanate-methyl ($750{\mu}g/m{\ell}$), respectively, compared to untreated control and the correlation between the two benzimidazole fungicides was higher ($r^2=0.7886$). Moreover, in responses to mancozeb ($1,500{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) and propineb ($1,500{\mu}g/m{\ell}$), the inhibition of mycelial growth of 90% and 53.6% of isolates was inhibited over 91%, respectively. But correlation between theses two fungicides was lower ($r^2=0.0174$). There is no cross-resistance response between benzimidazole funficides and mancozeb / propineb.

Among 6 fungicides, fluazinam, which had an excellent inhibitory effect on mycelial growth and spore germination, was also effective in controlling jujube anthracnose in the field. While EC₅₀ values of metconazole and tebuconazole ranged from 0.2 to 0.9 ㎍/ml and from 0.4 to 1.1 ㎍/ml against the mycelial growth, respectively, each inhibitory effect on spore germination was low by 7.4% and 11.1% at 50.0 ㎍/ml. In the field test, they showed the control value of 80.5% and 77.0%, respectively. The protective fungicides, as mancozeb and folpet, which had a low inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth, but had a high inhibitory effect of spore germination, showed excellent disease control activities by 87.6% and 92.0% in the field. Showing a result of resistance monitoring conducted with the isolates of Colletotricum gloeosporioides, the resistance against carbendazim was already generated in the field, but it was thought that there was no resistance to pyraclostrobin, fluazinam and tebuconazole. However, if the resistance factor value of the population of C. gloeosporioides isolates to pyraclostrobin was high by 160.4, the diversity of the response to the fungicide in the population was high, so it should be taken more attention to the resistance management.

As Sclerotinia sclerotiorum causing cucumber sclerotinia rot was the fastest in the mycelial growth at $25^{\circ}C$, its pathogenicity was strong at the same temperature among several temperatures. All the isolates of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum showed a strong pathogenicity against cucumber fruits, which was confirmed by a disk assay and a wound assay. A wound assay was superior to a disk assay to develop the assay system for assessing the fungicidal activity of several fungicides against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. In a disk assay, it was very difficult to assess the fungicidal activity, because the pathogenicity of isolates used in the experiment was very strong. At 500 and $3.0{\mu}g/mL$, the activity of dichloflouanid and the mixture of carbendazim and diethofencarb against cucumber sclerotinia rot was 14.3 and 42.3%, respectively, by using a disk assay. However, at same concentration two fungicides showed the high controlling activity as 100 and 92.5%, through a wound assay in a laboratory. Also, the activity of two fungicides was good against cucumber sclerotinia rot in the greenhouse where cucumber plants were cultivated in the field, showing the control value as 91.1 and 82.9% at 100 and $825{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. All the isolates of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum from cucumber fruits sampled in the polyvinyl house were subjected to monitoring for the resistance to 7 fungicides. The $EC_{50}$ value of 7 fungicides was as follows: fenhexamid; $0.13{\mu}g/mL$, procymidon and iprodione; 0.18 and $0.24{\mu}g/mL$, carbendazim and the mixture of carbendazim and diethofencarb; 0.13과 $0.05{\mu}g/mL$, iminoctadine and dichlofluanid; 1.94 and $8.95{\mu}g/mL$. Ultimately it was not found that resistant isolates of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum were appeared in the field.

Fungicide resistance of cucumber powdery mildew was screened among the pathogens isolated from diseased plants in main cucumber productuion areas in Gyeonggi Province. Each fungicide from different activity group for the control of powdery mildew were sprayed on cucumber leaves according to application concentration. Each conidia mixed with sterilized water isolated of pathogens were transferred on the cucumber leaf disks treated with each fungicide. At 7 to 9 days after inoculation of pathogen, disease severity was recorded under the microscope. Most of pathogen isolates showed moderate resistance to difenoconazole belonged to DMI group fungicide while some isolates from Osan were resistant even $300{\mu}g/ml$. Isolates from Pyeongtaek, Osan and Yongin area also showed moderate resistance to fenarimol while one isolate showed resistant to fenarimol even $300{\mu}g/ml$. Most of isolates from Pyeongtaek, Osan and Yongin showed highly resistant to azoxystrobin belonged to strobilurin group fungicide. Standard sensitive isolates the minimum inhibition concentration(MIC) value for azoxystrobin showed $200{\mu}g/ml$ while resistance isolates showed above $2000{\mu}g/ml$. Resistant isloates also showed cross resistance among strobilurin group fungicides and low control efficacy in the field test. These results suggest that treatment of strobilurin fungicides should be reduced for the control of powdery mildew.
