Microbial composition and bioremediation in frass fertilizers from insect-based agri-food waste valorization

Journal of Environmental Management
Insect frass fertilizer is emerging as a sustainable and novel input for improving soil health and crop production; however, research attention on its safety and microbial properties remains limited. Here, we evaluated the levels of heavy metals, pathogens, diversity, abundance, composition and functional roles of bacteria and fungi in frass fertilizer
