Hilucia™ Frass is exclusively based on insect droppings from Hermetia illucens (Black Soldier Fly) larvae fed with a 100% vegetable and guaranteed GMO-free substrate.
These droppings are dried, pelletized and sanitized to produce brown granules with a diameter of 5 mm and density of 0.6-0.7.
Hilucia™ Frass is an organic fertilizer rich in primary nutrients and organic matter. As such, it is recommended for crop fertilization (stimulating plant growth throughout the cycle thanks to regular and progressive nitrogen release) and soil improvement (providing stable humus and improving the soil’s physical and chemical properties, such as its structure and water retention capacity).
In addition, Hilucia™ Frass is naturally rich in beneficial bacteria and chitin that contribute to facilitate the assimilation of nutrients present in the soil, and activate and sustainably maintain the soil’s microbial life and biological activity over the long run.
Life cycle assessment carried out by independent consultancy Quantis

of CO2eq
emitted during the manufacturing process compared to chemical fertilizers
Finally, a life cycle analysis carried out by the independent consultancy Quantis showed that Hilucia™ Frass emits 45% less CO₂eq than dried poultry manure and 71% less than chemical fertilizers during the manufacturing process.
This significant reduction in emissions highlights the environmental advantages of using insect frass as a sustainable alternative for agriculture.
