Transformation Capability Optimization and Product Application Potential of <i>Proteatia brevitarsis</i> (Coleoptera: Cetoniidae) Larvae on Cotton Stalks

Transformation Capability Optimization and Product Application Potential of <i>Proteatia brevitarsis</i> (Coleoptera: Cetoniidae) Larvae on Cotton Stalks

Cotton stalks (CS) are a potential agricultural biomass resource. We investigated the use of CS as a feed for <i>Proteatia brevitarsis</i> Lewis larvae and the resulting frass (larvae dung-sand) as a fertilizer. Based on a three-factor experiment (decomposition inoculant, fermentation du...
