Insect frass in the development of sustainable agriculture. A review [PDF]

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2021
AbstractGiven the current rate of human population growth, the mass breeding of insects for feed and food is in full industrial development, as a more efficient and effective alternative to conventional livestock for the production of animal protein. In these industries, the production of insect excreta (frass) represents one of the main outputs of the

Insect frass as a substrate to stimulate native ureolytic bacteria for microbial-induced carbonate precipitation in soil biocementation [PDF]

Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery, 2023
International audienceThis study explored the use of freshly obtained insect waste (Frass-1) and composting insect waste (Frass-2) to stimulate highly active ureolytic bacterial cells for microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP).

Ant nesting site selection mediated by insects frass

Journal of Ethology, 2021
Facilitation is an ecological interaction in which the presence of one species (e.g., ecosystem engineers) alters the environment in a way that enhances growth, survival or reproduction of a neighboring species. Wood-boring insects are considered facilitators for cavities-nesting ants, which experience intense intra and interspecific competition for ...

The ecological importance of insect frass: allelopathy in eucalypts

Oecologia, 1985
Our previously published experiments on allelopathic effects of insect frass in Eucalyptus communities (Silander et al. 1983) have been criticized on the grounds that our estimates of annual frass production were exscessive (Ohmart 1985). However, we spanned the entire array of estimates of frass fall available from eucalypt communities, and we ...

Insect Frass as a Pathway for Transmission of Bacterial Wilt of Cucurbits

Environmental Entomology, 2009
Insects that vector diseases of plants are of critical concern to agriculture, but relationships between the vectors and pathogens often are poorly understood. In this study, we present research on vector relationships between the striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), and the pathogen that causes bacterial wilt of

Volatile fatty acids of frass of certain omnivorous insects

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1985
The 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

THE USE OF FRASS IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF FOREST INSECT DAMAGE

The Canadian Entomologist, 1942
The forest entomologist is often called upon to inspect insect defolialion late in the season at a time when the feeding stage of the defoliator is no longer present in the trees.
