Current Research
Scientists use insect frass in barley production, proving that it has the potential to be a partial or complete NPK fertilizer substitute.
High nitrogen insect frass can increase nitrogen availability in the soil and consequently increase plant growth.
Insect frass can increase plant nitrogen uptake, add organic molecules and microorganisms to the soil, and may increase tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses due to these additions.
The positive benefits of mealworm frass, especially its use as fertilizer and a stress tolerance inducer, is mediated by microorganisms and can be affected by the mealworm’s diet.
Frass amendments to the soil can induce different crop biotic stress responses based on variables in frass production and deposition.
