Recycling waste via insect agriculture: Frass impacts on soil and plant health

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Frass—the main by‐product of insect rearing for animal feed—is emerging as a promising soil amendment and plant growth promoter. However, basic agronomic information is lacking and prevents frass’ widespread use as a biofertilizer. This study assessed impacts of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.

Genetic engineering, integrated pest management and the evolution of pests

Trends in Biotechnology, 1988
It is well known that pest populations can evolve resistance to pesticides. The bollworm complex (Heliothis spp.), which attacks cotton plants, is a particularly good example of a highly adaptable pest. To achieve long-term success, genetic engineering projects for the production of 'insecticidal' crop plants, including cotton, need to take account of ...
