Insect Biorefinery: Bioremediation and Frass Fertilizer for Sustainable Indigenous Vegetable Production

The data was collected from laboratory and greenhouse experiments conducted at the Animal Rearing and Quarantine Unit (ARQU) of the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe), Kenya (S 01˚ 13’ 14.6’’; E 036˚ 53’ 44.5’’, 1,612 m above sea level). The lab experiments were used to determine P. ephipiatta frass fertilizer quality. Greenhouse experiment was established to assess the impact of P. ephipiatta frass fertilizer on vegetable production, in comparison with a commercial fertilizer. The data was collected between April and December 2029.
