Co‐presence of black soldier fly frass, soil‐biodegradable mulch films, and earthworms: effects on film biodegradation, ecotoxicity, and microbial community

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Soil‐biodegradable mulch films (SBF) are used increasingly to enhance crop yields while addressing soil pollution and disposal issues. Another sustainable practice gaining attention is the use of soil amendments derived from waste, such as insect frass from Hermetia illucens.
