Organifer Mealworm Manure Pellets are produced from 100% pure frass derived from mealworm beetles. This German-quality product is dried, sanitized through heating, and then pressed into unique micro-pellets. It is approved for organic farming under EU organic regulations and listed in the directory for organic farming substances, allowed by associations such as Bioland, Naturland, Demeter, and Gäa.

This natural fertilizer, derived from sustainable insect farming, is environmentally friendly and conserves resources. It contains chitin, a precursor to the biostimulant chitosan, which enhances plant strength. Additionally, it activates soil life and has a high phosphate content, making it invaluable. There is no risk of weed seeds and pathogens, as these are eliminated during the sanitization process. Virtually odorless and universally applicable for all types of planting, crops, and lawns, it offers a holistic solution for the needs of the organic garden.

Source of Essential Nutrients

Organifer Mealworm Frass has an NPK ratio of 3.5-3.5-2.5 and a high chitin content of about 10%. Additionally, the product is rich in minerals, trace elements, and organic matter. This universal fertilizer contains all the nutrients needed for lawns, borders, and vegetable gardens. Because Organifer Frass is 100% organic, the nutrients are released in a controlled manner and do not leach away. Feeding with Mealworm Frass improves the growth, flowering, and resilience of plants and soil.

Nourishes Soil Life

Healthy soil life begins with insects. These efficient creatures maintain ecological balance in nature. The remnants left behind by insects, such as excrement and exoskeletons, are rich in chitin and are used as raw materials for Organifer Insect Manure. This organic fertilizer helps retain soil water and nutrients, making them available in the soil for longer periods.

The result is a healthier soil where adequate nutrients are available even in drier periods. It serves as a nutrient source for beneficial soil life. It is no wonder that this is a widely used soil improver, broadly deployed in organic farming to stimulate positive soil life and restore soil balance.

Frass

Frass is the excrement of herbivorous insects. In this product, Organifer Insect Manure is derived from the larvae of the mealworm beetle. The insects are fed with low-value, plant-based residual streams, which are converted into high-quality animal proteins and fats. Organifer enriches and processes the frass into high-quality natural fertilizers.

Best for the Environment

Organifer Insect Manure has the lowest CO₂ footprint of all fertilizers! The production of synthetic fertilizers is energy-intensive, resulting in significant CO₂ emissions. Moreover, synthetic fertilizers negatively affect all life in the soil and leach quickly. Compared to other organic fertilizers like cow, chicken, and pig manure, Organifer’s insect manure also has a significantly lower CO₂ footprint and scores better on other environmental aspects such as land use and water consumption.

Chitin - Stimulates Antagonistic Activity, Results in Increased Plant and Soil Resilience

Organifer insect manure is very rich in chitin. Chitin is a superfood for microorganisms that break down chitin. This process releases enzymes (chitinases) that trigger the plant to activate its natural defense mechanisms. As a result, the crop becomes less attractive to diseases and pests. It’s no surprise that Organifer Frass is now widely used to restore balance in the soil in agriculture and horticulture.
