Generation of high-efficient biochar for dye adsorption using frass of yellow mealworms (larvae of Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus) fed with wheat straw for insect biomass production

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019
Abstract An innovative approach is developed to utilize the frass of mealworms (Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus 1758) for producing dye-removal biochar. Agricultural waste wheat straw (WS) was tested as feedstock versus wheat bran (WB) to rear mealworms for the production of insect biomass. Mealworms on WS grew at a slightly slower rate than those grown on

Kairomones and their use for management of entomophagous insects

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1981
In laboratory experiments conducted to compare the kairomonal activity forMicroplitis croceipes (Cresson) of frass fromHeliothis zea (Boddie) larvae fed on different host plants,M. croceipes females responded to extracts of frass from larvae reared on cotton or soybeans but not on corn. The lack of response to frass from larvae reared on corn was shown

Kairomones and their use for management of entomophagous insects VIII. Effect of diet on the kairomonal activity of frass fromHeliothis zea (Boddie) larvae forMicroplitis croceipes (Cresson)

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1979
Heliothis zea (Boddie) larvae were reared on fresh plant material (cowpea cotyledons) or on an artificial laboratory diet. Effect of these two diets on the kairomonal activity of the frass and cuticle from the larvae, as well as the kairomonal activity of the diets themselves, forMicroplitis croceipes (Cresson) was determined.

Sustainable approach to polystyrene management and bioinsecticide production: Biodegradation by Tenebrio molitor larvae co-fed with residual biomass and bioactivity of frass pyrolysis bio-oil against insect pests

Bioresource Technology
Tenebrio molitor has gained attention as a potential solution for plastic pollution. This study explored the biodegradation of polystyrene (PS) by mealworms co-fed with rice bran (RB) under an optimized rearing scheme. The RB co-diet significantly increased PS consumption by two-fold compared to wheat bran (WB).
