Correction to “Recycling waste via insect agriculture: Frass impacts on soil and plant health”

Amorim, H. C. S., Ashworth, A. J., Ducey, T. F., Brewer-Gunsaulis, V. B., Drescher, G. L., Owens, P. R., Patterson, A. H., DeBlasis, G., & van Straaten, I. (2025). Recycling waste via insect agriculture: Frass impacts on soil and plant health. Journal of Environmental Quality, 54, 1457–1469. https://doi.org/10.1002/jeq2.70089 A reader identified an inaccurate statement in the first sentence of the Conclusions section. The current text reads: “Insect manure or ‘frass’ is a promising amendment for organic and conventional systems, with 12 times greater concentrations of heavy metals and potentially toxic elements than poultry litter.” It should instead read: “Insect manure or ‘frass’ is a promising amendment for organic and conventional systems. Poultry litter had up to 12 times greater concentrations of heavy metals and potentially toxic elements than frass.” We apologize for this error.
