OverviewAI-generated summary

Shaun Francis researches the application of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae and their frass in agricultural systems. His work investigates the productivity and biochemical composition of these larvae when fed various substrates, including sweet potato waste, spent coffee grounds, and dough. Francis also examines the effectiveness of supplementing aquaponics systems with black soldier fly larvae frass tea, specifically assessing its impact on the production and nutritional content of sweet potato slips and banana peppers. His research includes benefit-cost analyses of using this frass in sweet potato slip production. Francis has published five papers on these topics, with a recent publication in 2023. His h-index is 5, with a total of 94 citations.
