New Zealand Plant Protection, 2013 Many insects inhabit concealed locations such as within timber but leave outward signs of their presence such as frass Deposits of fresh frass on the outside of infested material would indicate a high probability of live insects being present within A method for estimating the age of frass could therefore be useful for assessing treatment efficacy For ...

Effects of black soldier fly frass on plant and soil characteristics : a literature overview [PDF]
, 2023 Black soldier fly (BSF) frass, resulting after bioconversion of organic materials by Hermetia illucens larvae can be used as fertilizer. This overview provides a literature summary of the main (macronutrient) components in frass and its reported effects ...

eLife, 2021 Some insects form symbioses in which actinomycetes provide defense against pathogens by making antimicrobials. The range of chemical strategies employed across these associations, and how these strategies relate to insect lifestyle, remains underexplored.

Effects of water extracts of frass from three locust species and various plants on oviposition and embryonic development in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria [PDF]
Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2019 The water extract of desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, frass collected in the wild had an oviposition inhibitory (OI) effect when mixed with sand and presented to adults.

Positive and negative impacts of insect frass quality on soil nitrogen availability and plant growth [PDF]
, 2011 Frass deposition to soil is an important pathway by which herbivorous insects impact decomposition and soil nutrient availability. However, little is known about how frass quality influences ecosystem properties.
