THE USE OF INSECTS IN AGRICULTURE — A WAY TO ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

Research and development of technologies for breeding, cultivation and use of insects is an important task of the modern national economy, the solution of which can reduce the technogenic load on natural ecosystems. The Black Soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is a very promising biological species that allows to obtain the following types of products: biomass of the Black Lion fly (Hermetia illucens) fly larvae, which can be processed into animal protein (protein meal) and lipid concentrate (oil); zoo compost obtained after the separation of the Black Soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens). Due to their evolutionarily developed mechanisms of surviving in a chemically and bacteriologically aggressive environment, the larvae of the Hermetia illucens fly are able to successfully endure and neutralize many toxic components of the substrate, which is an important factor in their breeding and use for waste processing.
