The significance of free air co2 enrichment and open roof ventilatio greenhouse systems in a study of mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor L. (coleoptera: tenebrionidae)

Tenebrio molitor L. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is an insect storage pest that has been used as a subject in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) research. The aim of this study is to determine the importance of conducting insect-related studies, especially on T. molitor under a Free Air CO2 Enrichment...
