Assessment of the Short-Term Fertilizer Potential of Mealworm Frass Using a Pot Experiment
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021 The forecasted growth of insect production in the next few years will generate high quantities of frass (insect excreta). Although frass is increasingly considered a potential fertilizer, the dynamics of nutrient supply by frass is still poorly ...

Characterization of Microorganisms from Protaetia brevitarsis Larva Frass [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 Decomposers play an important role in the biogeochemical cycle. Protaetia brevitarsis larvae (PBLs) can transform wastes into frass rich in humic acid (HA) and microorganisms, which may increase the disease resistance of plants and promote plant growth. Beyond HA, the microorganisms may also contribute to the biostimulant activity.

Larval response to frass and guaiacol: detection of an attractant produced by bacteria from Spodoptera littoralis frass [PDF]
Journal of Pest Science, 2021 AbstractLarval frass in herbivorous lepidopterans is mainly composed of plant-derived material and microbes from the gut. Despite the fact that frass from conspecific larvae repels female moths in Spodoptera littoralis from oviposition, the role of frass volatiles on larval foraging behavior is largely unknown.

Protease-activated receptor 2 activation of myeloid dendritic cells regulates allergic airway inflammation [PDF]
Respiratory Research, 2011 Background A common characteristic of allergens is that they contain proteases that can activate protease-activated receptor (PAR-2); however the mechanism by which PAR-2 regulates allergic airway inflammation is unclear.

Technology in Horticulture, 2023 A by-product of insect farming is 'frass', which is the leftover excrement that can be high in essential minerals. The frass of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSFL) is increasingly gaining interest as a soil amendment, but information is ...

Nutrient quality and maturity status of frass fertilizer from nine edible insects
Scientific Reports, 2022 Globally, there is growing interest to recycle organic waste using insect larvae into high-quality frass fertilizer through circular economy approach. This paper presents the first comparative report on the nutrient concentrations, fertilizing indices ...
