- Title
The oxygen consumption rate of three lepidopteran maize pest species measured by a Clark polarographic oxygen electrode using an air-to-water respirometer chamber of novel design.
- Authors
van Aardt, W. J.; du Plessis, H.
- Abstract
The article discusses the issues relating to the oxygen consumption measurements on air-breathers. It mentions the importance of low-cost electrochemical sensors such as the Clark polarographic O2 electrode and the zirconium sensor technology. It also mentions the need to prevent oxygen from entering the air-to-water respirometer via the air film during measurements.
