Abstract

The lack of separation and treatment of organic waste in Mexico and the world is a problem that affects the environment. The use of Hermetia illucens black soldier fly larvae is a sustainable alternative for the bioconversion of organic waste. The purpose of this article is to provide information about the potential of black soldier fly larvae in the bioconversion of different types and amounts of organic wastes, generating products such as the waste excreted by the larvae, in English known as “frass”, which has a composition similar to an immature compost, which can be used as fertilizer for agricultural purposes for its content of N, P, K. This topic requires more research on the physicochemical properties, maturation and pre- and post-treatments of the compost produced by larvae for their suitable use in agriculture.
