It naturally stimulates plants’ immune systems via chitinase enzymes, enhancing pest resistance and overall vitality. Ideal for use in soil or compost tea, this 1-pound pack supports sustainable, organic gardening with a high-impact, eco-conscious formula trusted by professionals. ## Description Beetle Juice is not only great in your compost tea recipe, it's also an amazing soil amendment. Our product contains meal worm castings, the bran bedding they are grown in, and their exoskeletons. The castings are full of nutrition and beneficial microbes. The meal worms are fed a vegetarian diet, lending to a plant healthy fertilizer. Exoskeletons are the shedding of the insects as they molt. The exoskeletons are made of chitin (Kite-in), a tough protein, that when degraded, becomes a great fertilizer source. The degrading of chitin is done by an enzyme called chitinase (kite-in-ase), this enzyme triggers a plant's immune defense response, known as the SIR or Systematic Immune Response, which bulks up a plant's natural defenses. When a plant comes in contact with frass, basically it thinks it's being attacked by bugs, and bulks up its immunity to fend them off. Chitinase is naturally associated with the chitin in frass. Frass can be used any time throughout a season. APPLICATION RATE Soil Amending: Top dress 1/4 Cup per square foot, or mix into soil at 1-2 teaspoons per gallon.Compost Tea: 1 Cup per 5 gallons of water, bubble with 1oz per 5 gallons of molasses or fish powder 1 lb of frass treats up to 50 gallons of soil, or 50 square feet of garden bed, makes up to 25 Gallons of Compost Tea depending on how strong you brew it. Review: Good stuff!!!! - This is good stuff & you need it!! If you’re growing organic/probiotic/no-till/KNF, then you definitely need it!! This was the first product I’ve purchased from them & it’s great quality. I like that it’s U.S. made & that the mealworms are fed a high quality diet. I’m picky about what I use. I’m satisfied enough to know I’ll purchase this again as well as look into the company’s other products. ## Features - Insect Frass is an Organic Fertilizer, that also stimulates a plant's natural defense systems. - Compost Tea Recipe (((Bloom Booster))): 1 Cup of Frass, 1 Cup Molasses, bubble in 5 gallons of water for 36 hours, apply at a 1:5 ratio with water or base tea. - Apply to your soil at 1TSP to 1TSBP per Gallon of Potting Soil - For Garden Beds, apply 1 Cup of Insect Frass per 10 Square Feet - 1 Pound of Insect Frass is approximately 8 Cups ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01ESHHE36 | | Best Sellers Rank | #836,625 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #8,760 in Garden Fertilizers | | Brand | TeaLAB | | Date First Available | April 25, 2016 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Number of Items | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | General Plant Use | | Unit Count | 16.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TeaLAB - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 16 ounces - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Specific Uses For Product:** General Plant Use ## Images ![TeaLAB Insect Frass Organic Fertilizer 1 Pound - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91LszVDxgKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff!!!! *by D***D on November 9, 2017* This is good stuff & you need it!!
