Exploring the agronomic traits, antioxidant and antifungal properties of Hermetia illucens frass extract in durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.)
This finding demonstrated that seed priming with frass extract, together with T. afroharzianum T22, could be used as an effective and environmentally friendly strategy to promote wheat growth and, at the same time, effectively control the development of F. sporotrichioides disease. The insights gathered from this research, confirmed the ability of frass to be used in priming technique, opening the door to promising solutions to harness the potential of sustainable agricultural practices and green technologies circular economy-based.
