Plant Systematics and Evolution, Schloemer VA, Level of water Water level is maintained at about cm in the pit. Wastewater from bathroom and cattle shed can also be used to fill the pit. Where there is a problem of fresh water availability, the water left after washing clothes after the second rinsing can also be used.
About Fresh water should be sprinkled over the azolla immediately after inoculation to make the azolla plants upright. Harvesting can be done every day from the 7th day onwards with the help of a plastic sieve or tray with holes at the bottom.
Cowdung and minerals removed by the azolla biomass have to be supplemented at least once in seven days. The harvested azolla should be washed in fresh water to get rid of the cow dung smell. Mixing ratio Fresh azolla thus collected can be mixed with commercial feed in the ratio or given directly to livestock. It was found that the milk production in cattle increased by per cent when they were fed with azolla and there was per cent savings on buying commercial feeds, according to Dr.
Kamalasanan Pillai, Scientist at the Institute. Increase in body weight Azolla can also be fed to poultry birds. It was observed that the birds grew faster and there was per cent increase in their total body weight compared to the birds which were given only normal diet.
The egg yolk increased and the egg shell colour became glossy in appearance. In addition the azolla bed acts as a rain harvesting station and live mulch for the fields.
About 2kg of soil in the azolla bed is almost equal to about 1 kg of commercial NPK fertilizer after six months. Scientists also study Azolla as a BioFuel since it grows so quickly and does not leave a negative footprint on the ecosystem. Azolla can multiply its weight throughout the summer months! Farmers use Azolla to supplement the food they feed their livestock as well as planting it alongside their rice crops to help increase yield.
Azolla contains vitamins and minerals and is rich in protein. Most of our customers use Azolla to feed their fish a healthy snack! Farmers can purchase larger portions by calling No planting is necessary, simply place on surface of the water, make sure azolla is not piled up upon itself, try to even out the azolla over the surface. Our Favorite Floating Plant!
