For the control of Corythucha ciliata, the insecticidal activity of five commercial pesticides (Monocrotophos 25%SL, Phosphamidon 50%SL, Imidacloprid 20%DC, Thiamethoxam 15%DC and Acetamiprid 20%SL) were examined with trunk injection method in Seoul, Sanbon and Chungju. The insecticidal activity of five commercial pesticides was >88%. The insecticidal activity of Monocrotophos maintained 31 days later after trunk injection when treated leaves were supplied to this pest. This result indicates that one application of trunk injection is enough to control this pest, and this method can save the control cost compared with ground application which should be applied two or three times per year to control this pest. To make the model of treatment dosage at each D.B.H class (cm), $1.0m{\ell}/DBH$, $1.5m{\ell}/DBH$ and $2.0m{\ell}/DBH$ pesticide dosage was used. At <20cm, the insecticidal activity of $1.0m{\ell}$ dosage was >95%, and $1.5-2.5m{\ell}$ dosage was needed for the effective control at 30~50cm. More than $2.5m{\ell}$ dosage was effective at >50cm. Spray method was used in laboratory to select pesticides for ground application. Three commercial pesticides (Ethofenprox 20%EC, Ethofenprox 10%WP and Cyfluthrin 1%EC) were used, and all pesticides showed >95% insecticidal activity.
