Abstract

A controlled environment cabinet for the study of insects or plant–insect interactions which has a novel air velocity control mechanism is described. The useful working space is 0.56 × 0.84 × 1.83 m long and the temperature in this area can be selected from 18° to 35°C at air velocities ranging from 1.5 to 18.0 km/hr. Fluorescent lamps provide a light intensity of 32,300 lm/m2, 0.32 m below the lamps.

Temperatures were controlled within ±0.67°C and the air velocity was uniform within 20% throughout the working area.
