A study was carried out to identify the life cycle of Adoxophyes orana (Lepidoptera: Tortrididae) that inflicts tea tree leaves in Korea and selected three ecofriendly pesticides (Common name for commercial: Essential oil, Nemacatch, and Wormstop in Korean Farmers' Market) of A. orana for pest control. A. orana appeared to follow four life cycle phases a year; each presenting varying developmental periods dependent on seasonal and environmental factors. The fecundity of A. orana female was $24.6{\pm}4.10$ for $1^{st}$, $36.7{\pm}12.77$ for$ 2^{nd}$, and $27.9{\pm}4.22$ for $3^{rd}$ phase during 2011, while it was $65.0{\pm}32.72$, $49.7{\pm}30.27$, $63.8{\pm}27.22$ for corresponding phases during 2012. The average longevity of adult A. orana was 7.72 days. The average number of eggs deposited by each female in this study group was 44.62 with an average of 2.47. In three selected ecofriendly pesticides, the mortality of A. orana on treating with the Essential oil [The essential oil of Chamaecyparis obtuse (100%)] and Nemacatch [Azadirachtin 800-900 ppm (75%)] were 36.67% and 43.33% after 3 days and were 48.30% and 56.67% after 7days, respectively. Besides, the mortality of A. orana on treating with Wormstop [Azadirachtin 500 ppm (5%) and Salannin+Liminoids (95%)] was 61.67% and 78.33% after 3 and 7 days, respectively. Therefore, the application of Wormstop was the most useful to control the diseases caused by A. orana.

Objectives An ecofriendly alternative to chemical pesticides is bio-pesticides, which are derived from natural sources. The interest in bio-pesticides is based on the disadvantages associated with chemical pesticides. Methods We conducted acute toxicity assessments of camphor, a major component of bio-pesticides, by using Daphnia magna (D. magna) as well as assessed the morphological abnormalities that occurred in Danio rerio (D. rerio) embryos. Results The median effective concentration of camphor on D. magna after 48 hours was $395.0{\mu}M$, and the median lethal concentration on D. rerio embryos after 96 hours was $838.6{\mu}M$. The no observed effect concentration and predicted no effect concentration of camphor on D. magna, which was more sensitive than D. rerio, were calculated as $55.2{\mu}M$ and $3.95{\mu}M$, respectively. Morphological abnormalities in D. rerio embryos exposed to camphor increased over time. Coagulation, delayed hatching, yolk sac edema, pericardial edema, and pigmentation of embryos mainly appeared between 24 and 48 hours. Further, symptoms of scoliosis and head edema occurred after 72 hours. In addition, bent tails, ocular defects and collapsed symptoms of fertilized embryonic tissue were observed after 96 hours. Conclusions The camphor toxicity results suggest that continuous observations on the ecosystem are necessary to monitor toxicity in areas where biological pesticides containing camphor are sprayed.

친환경 유기농자재를 이용하여 고추 탄저병균의 포자 발아, 균사생장 억제효과를 기내에서 조사하였다. 그 결과 균사생장 억제효과 기내검정. 탄저병의 균사생장 억제 효과는 Bacillus subtilis를 주성분으로 하는 제제가 100%의 억제효과를 보였으며, 그 외의 제제는 20~40%의 범위에서 억제효과를 나타내었다. 포자발아억제효과는 유황 수화제 2종('BTB', '황스타')이 각각 100%, 95.1%, '고려역'(95.0%), '보르스타'(99.0%), '지하부대 KM'(96.1%) 순으로 나타났다. 균사생장 억제와 포자 발아억제, 부착기 형성억제 결과를 고려하여 고추 탄저병 방제에 적용 가능한 친환경 방제제는 Bacillus subtilis, Panibacillus polymyxa 혼용제('고려역')가 가장 효과적인 것으로 판단되었으며, 예방을 전제로 한 방제의 경우 유황 수화제, 보르도액을 주성분으로 하는 제제가 적용 가능할 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구에서 선택된 제제는 고추 포장에서 탄저병 방제효과가 최종적으로 인정되면 차후 고추 탄저병 방제에 이용될 것으로 사료된다.

현재 식품의약품안전청에서 고시하고 있는 한약재 중 잔류 농약 분석법에 따라 강활, 박하, 천궁 및 황기 시료 중 endosulfan과 그 분해산물인 endosulfan sulfate를 분석한 결과 많은 간섭물질의 등장과 낮은 회수율 등의 문제점을 확인하였다. 이에 고시된 시험법의 액-액 분배 과정을 대신하여 MDE column을 적용하여 ${\alpha}$-endosulfan 80.3 ~ 93.5%, ${\beta}$-endosulfan 81.0 ~ 100.3%, endosulfan sulfate 80.6 ~ 95.6%의 회수율과 1.1 ~ 3.4%의 변이계수(CV)를 얻었으며 이러한 결과는 잔류농약 분석기준을 만족하였다. MDE column의 사용으로 액-액 분배 과정을 대신하면서 발암가능 물질인 dichloromethane 사용을 배제할 수 있어 분석자의 안전성 향상, 노동력 및 전처리 시간의 절감, 발생되는 폐액 감소, 액-액 분배시 emulsion 현상의 해소, 분석자간의 재현성 양호 등의 이점도 얻을 수 있었다.
