摘要:
An understanding of the physical characteristics of a leaf is necessary in feeding behavior studies of phytophagous insects. A penetrometer based on a strain gauge transducer, miniature lathe, and recorder readout was devised to measure leaf toughness. Details of its construction and use are reported.
