Azolla SuperPlant

An aquatic heterosporic fern, triangular or polygonal in shape. It floats on the water surface in ponds, ditches and paddy fields of tropical and warm temperate regions. Sometimes it gives the appearance of a green-reddish carpet, floating over the water. This genus is the only one of the Azollaceae family and has six to eight recognised species, belonging to two subgenera: SUPER PLANT AZOLLA A. nilotica 10° kgs A. pinnata | A. filiculoides of nitroğen drawn out per Conditions for growth acre per year Light Wind Water Its ability to use atmospheric nitrogen for growth means that the main limit to its growth is usually the availability of phosphorus: carbon, nitrogen and sulphur being three of the key elements of proteins, and phosphorus being required for DNA, RNA and in energy metabolism. Temperature Azolla multiplies at the daily mean temperature of 15-30°C. Optimum temperature is about 25°C. Azolla can tolerate (survive) up to -5°C. Wind pushes azolla to one side of a field, accumulating a dense mass. Strong wind fragments azolla, leading to poor growth. Under nutrient deficient and When water depth over soil is a few cm, it grows well (moist soil). Therefore, it should be kept in a small pond during dry season or non-irrigated period. strong light conditions, Azolla becomes red. Under shaded conditions or nutrient-rich conditions, it remains green. Azolla Nutrients* It can be applied as organic fertilizer in fresh, dried or composted form. If composted alone, decomposition takes about two weeks Proteins 2-3% 1.5% Phosphorus 4.5% Nitrogen Others Amino Acids Potassium (bio-active substances Minerals and bio-polymers) *It can even be consumed by humans either directly or as azolla omelettes and burgers Azolla has cavities in its leaves which house Anabaena. Anabaena is a genus of filamentous cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, found as plankton. It is known for its nitrogen fixing abilities. Mats discourage blue-green algal blooms. They restrict penetration of sunlight into the water, which is essential for algal growth and limit the availability of food source for algae • The mats of Azolla can be a form of biological mosquito control, preventing mosquito larvae surfacing for air.

A fern that grows on the surface of water forming a thick mesh. They grow in rich nitrogen conditions and are therefore a good option for growing in grey water. Not only can it be used as an ingredien...
