After BSF larvae consume the food waste, they leave behind a nutrient-rich organic by-product called frass.
This frass serves as a high-quality organic fertilizer, rich in nitrogen (2.5%), phosphorus (2%), and potassium (2%)—key nutrients essential for plant growth.
Unlike synthetic fertilizers, frass improves soil structure by enhancing microbial activity and increasing organic matter content. This leads to better water retention, improved aeration, and long-term soil fertility.
Farmers can use this organic compost to replace chemical fertilizers, reducing soil degradation and ensuring sustainable crop production.
Chemical fertilizers often lead to soil depletion and water pollution, but BSF-based compost offers a sustainable alternative.
By using frass-based fertilizers, farmers can contribute to eco-friendly farming while improving crop yield without harming the environment.
