The mortality and pupation rate of mealworms. 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 values and standard deviations. Significant differences in pupation rate were revealed using ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test (n = 5, p < 0.05), and in Mortality using Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn’s tests (n = 5, p < 0.05). The significant differences are represented by the different letters above the columns.
