This project examines how feedstocks influence Black Soldier Fly (BSF) frass yield and composition, evaluates different frass types' effects on soil health, nematode control (Meloidogyne spp.), and tomato growth, yield, and postharvest quality.
BSF frass's potential as a biofertilizer and biocontrol agent will be assessed under laboratory and field conditions, enhancing small-scale farmers’ food security and incomes.
