Waste Not, Want Not: The Regulatory Barriers of Upcycling Frass
2022The current rates of population growth necessitate the need for more sustainable food production. The breeding of insects could be a possibility. Since the turn of the millennium, there has been a clear increase in the interest in breeding insects in Europe.

Maize Plants Recognize Herbivore-Associated Cues from Caterpillar Frass
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2015Caterpillar behaviors such as feeding, crawling, and oviposition are known to induce defenses in maize and other plant species. We examined plant defense responses to another important caterpillar behavior, their defecation. Fall armyworms (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda), a major threat to maize (Zea mays), are voracious eaters and deposit copious amounts

Volatile fatty acids of frass of certain omnivorous insects
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1985The frass of the following omnivorous insects reared on natural and artificial diets was analyzed for volatile fatty acids:Blattella germanica, Acheta domesticus, Blaberus discoidalis. Acetic, propionic, isobutyric, butyric, isovaleric, and valeric acids were identified in all frass samples. The possible significance of volatile fatty acids in frass is

Only a small part of the matter consumed by the mining larva while feeding is made use of to build up its body; the assimilated matter consists largely of protein products and while the remainder may undergo a change as a result of digestive action, it is not assimilated by the body.

Fall Armyworm Frass Induce Sorghum Defenses Against Insect Herbivores
Journal of Chemical EcologyThe fall armyworm (FAW; Spodoptera frugiperda) is a global invasive agricultural pest. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), an important monocot crop cultivated worldwide, faces significant challenges from FAW, which has become a major threat to sorghum production. Plants have evolved a wide array of defense mechanisms to combat insect assault.

Fertilizer efficiency and induced chitinase activity of frass versus frass biochar amended to soil
Insect production of “black soldier fly” (BSF) larvae is an efficient and sustainable method to convert residual biomass into useful products. A byproduct from insect production, consisting of larval excrement, residual feed and larval exoskeletons, known as “frass,” contains essential macro- and micronutrients ...openaire +1 more source
