The growth of mealworm (MW) larvae. MW were grown on wheat bran (Bran). 50% of the wheat bran was substituted with autoclaved strawberry vegetative waste (SB-A), strawberry vegetative waste fermented with T. reesei (SB-F), untreated strawberry vegetative waste (SB), autoclaved beans vegetative waste (Bean-A), beans vegetative waste fermented with T. reesei (Bean-F), or untreated autoclaved beans vegetative waste (Bean). Shown are the mean single larvae weight with the standard deviations. One-way ANOVA (n = 5, p < 0.05) followed by Tukey’s test revealed significant differences in the single-larva weight on the day of harvest (5th week). Significant differences are represented by the different letters beside the legends.
