Organic farming
Certifiable fertilizer for organic agriculture. Meets organic production requirements and provides nutrients without chemical residues.
Organic insect fertilizer
The fertilizer that nourishes your plants and regenerates your soil. 100% natural, with pest-repelling chitin. The secret of circular agriculture.
Benefits by crop
Select a crop type to see the specific benefits of incorporating frass into your fertilization program.
Tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, carrots and all types of vegetables.
Frass provides a slow, steady release of nutrients that promotes vigorous growth and abundant production. The chitin present stimulates the plant's natural defenses, reducing the incidence of pests and diseases in the garden.
Citrus, apple, olive, vineyards and other fruit trees.
Frass enhances root development in fruit trees, improving nutrient absorption and resistance to water stress. Its high organic matter content regenerates depleted soils and promotes higher quality fruit production.
Indoor, outdoor and greenhouse cultivation. Industrial and therapeutic use.
Frass is one of the most valued organic fertilizers in cannabis cultivation for its ability to improve the terpene profile and overall plant health. Chitin stimulates the production of secondary metabolites, resulting in more aromatic and resinous flowers.
Lawns, ornamental flowers, shrubs and houseplants.
Frass is ideal for domestic and professional gardening thanks to its gentle formulation that won't burn plants. Its balanced NPK nourishes without overfeeding, while chitin provides natural protection against common garden pests.
The product
Hermetia illucens
Our frass is the natural by-product of Hermetia illucens farming. The larvae transform organic waste into an exceptional fertilizer, rich in nutrients, organic matter and chitin with biostimulant and pest-repelling properties.
Advantages
3-3-3 formulation providing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in ideal proportions for harmonious plant growth.
The chitin in frass activates the plant's immune response (SAR), protecting against nematodes, fungi and soil pests.
With up to 85% organic matter, frass improves soil structure, porosity and water retention capacity.
Nutrients are gradually released, feeding the plant throughout its cycle without risk of overdose burns.
Stimulates the activity of beneficial bacteria and fungi in the rhizosphere, improving nutrient absorption.
By-product of insect farming. Transforms organic waste into high-value fertilizer, closing the nutrient cycle.

Applications
Organic frass is versatile and beneficial for multiple crop types and applications.
Certifiable fertilizer for organic agriculture. Meets organic production requirements and provides nutrients without chemical residues.
Ideal as an amendment in germination and transplant substrates. Stimulates rooting and protects seedlings from soil pathogens.
Organic solution for garden, park and green space maintenance. Healthier lawns, more vibrant flowers and regenerated soil.
Organic amendment for large areas. Improves soil fertility and reduces dependency on chemical fertilizers in cereals, legumes and oilseeds.
Environmental impact
Every ton of frass replacing chemical fertilizers generates a real, quantifiable positive impact.
Drastic reduction in carbon emissions compared to the production of synthetic petrochemical fertilizers.
Zero synthetic products. Frass is 100% natural, safe for soil, water and biodiversity.
Organic waste is transformed twice: first into insect protein, then into fertilizer. Double use, zero waste.
Frass is the natural by-product of our insect protein production. What was once waste is now a high-value fertilizer that closes the nutrient cycle.
A single production cycle generates protein for animal feed and fertilizer for agriculture. Two products, one process, zero waste.
The context
World agriculture depends on synthetic fertilizers derived from oil and natural gas. This dependency degrades soils, contaminates groundwater and creates unsustainable price volatility.
Soils treated exclusively with chemicals lose organic matter, microbial biodiversity and water retention capacity. The result: increasingly poor soils that need ever more inputs to produce the same yields.
The solution is not in petrochemicals. It is in nature.
Competitive pricing
Premium organic fertilizer.
With biostimulant included.
FAQ
Frass is beneficial for all types of plants, including vegetables, fruits, flowers, trees and shrubs. Its high content of essential nutrients and chitin improves plant health and performance, promoting more vigorous growth and higher yields.
Frass stands out for its balanced NPK 3-3-3 composition, up to 85% organic matter content and its chitin content, something unique among organic fertilizers. Chitin activates the plant's natural defenses and repels soil pests, a benefit that neither compost nor other organic fertilizers offer.
Yes. Frass is 100% natural and safe. It contains no chemicals, heavy metals or pathogens. It is safe for use in gardens, orchards, organic crops and around pets and children.
Frass can be applied in various ways: as a base amendment mixed with soil before planting, as a top dressing spread around plants, or prepared as frass tea for foliar or irrigation application. Recommended dosage is 100-200 g/m² for gardening and 500-1,000 kg/ha for extensive crops.
Chitin is a polysaccharide found in insect exoskeletons. When applied to soil, it stimulates beneficial microorganisms that break down chitin and, in the process, the cell walls of pathogenic fungi and nematodes. It also activates the plant's systemic acquired resistance (SAR), strengthening its natural defenses.
We work with orders starting from 500 kg for new customers. Frass is supplied in 25 kg bags or 500 kg/1,000 kg big bags depending on preference. We ship throughout Europe. Contact our sales team for specific conditions.
In many crops, yes. Frass can be the main nutrient source, especially in horticulture, gardening and organic farming. In high-yield extensive agriculture, it can be combined with other sources to meet specific nutrient demands during critical crop phases.
