The word azolla is very familiar between us today. But many of us do not know what. It is important to know the Azolla about chickens and ducks in their homes and the way of paddy cultivation.


The main problem for those who grow honey, milk, chickens and goats is their feed. Buying them out of the cattle feed and poultry and spending a lot of money.

But if you are ready to produce azolla at home, the rest of your family's food and rice are just enough for the growth of animals.

Azolla, a scientific name known as Azolla, is a plant in class poisons. Its leaves can fit the atmospheric nitrogen due to the presence of anaenica azon (aanobacteria).

We have to add fertilizers like synthetic urea because this ability is not for many plants. With this capacity, Azolla is rich in proteins.

The benefits of Azolla

1. Ability to grow rapidly in all atmospheric conditions and control environments.
2. We can produce more from the least quantity. There is no need to spend money for seed planting.
3. The atmospheric nitrogen can be used to make protein and decompose by soil.

4. To help in the production and quality of the crop.
5. Paddy fields can be used for organic manure and weed control.
6. Increase the weight of cattle, ducks and poultry and increase milk production and egg production.


Azolla can be grown in pits, in ponds and in the fields. Being a water-based plant, it is necessary to ensure continuous water supply. The smooth shade of sola requires shade and sunlight.

 The temperature of 36 degrees Celsius will affect the growth of the Azolla. The plant will absorb the required elements from the water. Phosphorus is the most important.

The position of the tank used to grow the Azolla is important. It is best to have a stimulating spot. The tank should always be close to water source as it requires continuous water supply.

Minor shade should be done to avoid evaporation and water loss. If the usual pond is to be used, be sure to avoid the bottomless stones.

The size of the tank will vary the difference of azolla. To get one kilogram a day, we need to construct a tank of 6 x 4 feet long. Secure a good plastic sheet below the tank and make it safer. The top of the tank is covered with a net and it is advisable to avoid falling leaves and leaves.

To ensure good growth of azolla, add 1 kg of cowdung and 100 g superfoil and soil to the bottom of the tank and pour 10 cm thick densely drained water and mix thoroughly.

After that, throw some tomatoes into it. Dung and superphosphate must be given in the same way over two weeks. The weeds should be thrown away. During the period of six to eight months, the tank should be cleaned and fresh vegetable

Azolla will cover the entire area of ​​the tank within 2 weeks. So, let's harvest. Daily harvesting can be obtained from 6 ½ to 4kg per day. Azolla harvested with other feeders can be used to treat chickens and chickens. Azolla can also be used as a dietary supplement.

Since the azolla is capable of receiving atmospheric nitrogen, the use of fertilizers such as Urea can be avoided in rice cultivation. Both are grown-up plants, so it's easy to grow together. Azolla is used in paddy cultivation in two ways.


Seedlings can be planted for at least four weeks before sowing. They grow well in three weeks. At the time of sprouting, apply the Azolla in the soil. It helps in mitigation of soil nitrogen and helps to reduce the amount of urea.


Put in the Azolla fields during planting. Stumble in the ground often. It helps prevent weeds from deterioration. Azolla does not need to put it again and again. Because one or two plants will be planted again from the rest.
