Insect Frass is a unique, chitin-rich amendment that delivers balanced NPK nutrition alongside genuine pest and disease prevention properties. Our insect frass is produced under st rict, controlled conditions to maximise nutrient content and microbial load, then specially composted to boost populations of beneficial microbes. What makes insect frass stand out is its chitin content. Chitin is liberated predominantly via chitinase enzymes produced by soil microbes, and the presence of chitin itself supports the ongoing production of these enzymes — meaning regular use continually bolsters enzyme activity in your soil. Chitin elicits an immune response from the plant via its SAR (Systemic Acquired Resistance). Its real strength is in raising pest resilience and overall plant immunity — driven by that chitin content, much like our crustacean meal. Show more
