1. Preface
Azolla: is a branched floating
aquatic fern & naturally
available mostly on moist soils
and well-grows in fresh water
which recently regarded as “
Natural fresh Protein
Manufacturing Factory”.
It is one of the fastest-growing

Potassium 2.0 -
4.5%
Calcium 0.1-1.0%
Magnesium 0.65% Manganese 0.16% Iron Fe 0.25% Fat 3.0-3.3%
Soluble sugars

Starch 6.5% Chlorophyll 0.5% Ash 10.5%

3. N-fixation and green manure.
Rich in essential amino acids.
Contains many minerals and vitamins (vitamin A, B12,
beta-carotene).
Azolla can remove 6 tonnes per acre per year of carbon
(1.5 kg/m²/yr)
Limitation of N volatilization.
Weed control and Mosquito control.
Bioremediation.
Production of biogas and bioenergy.
