INSECT FRASS: NATURE’S HIDDEN TREASURE FOR SOIL FERTILITY: A REVIEW

Plant Archives
The growing demand for sustainable agricultural practices has led to an increased interest in insect farming and its by-products. Insect frass, consisting of insect excreta, exuviae, and residual feed particles, is emerging as a promising biofertilizer due to its rich nutrient profile and microbial communities.

Non‐additive effects of leaf litter and insect frass mixture on decomposition processes

Ecological Research, 2011
Abstract Although there is a growing body of evidence that herbivorous insects have a significant impact on decomposition and soil nutrient dynamics through frass excretion, how mixtures of leaf litter and insect frass influence such ecosystem processes remains poorly understood.

Application of electron beam (eBeam) to inactivate Salmonella in insects, insect meal, and frass

Journal of Economic Entomology
Abstract With the projected increase in the global population to 10 billion by 2050, the global agricultural system is under immense strain to meet the growing demand for food while also ensuring sustainability and efficiency. Insects present a promising alternative to traditional feed sources, as they can transform low-quality ...

Insect Frass: A Sustainable Organic Fertilizer for Enhancing Soil Health and Crop Productivity

Insect Environment
This review explores the emerging role of insect frass as a primary organic fertilizer in sustainable agricultural systems. With the global population rising and insect farming expanding as an alternative protein source, insect frass - the excreta produced during insect rearing has gained significant attention as a valuable agricultural by product ...
