Azolla Bed

Product details

An Azolla bed is a cultivation system designed for growing Azolla, a small aquatic fern that is often used in agriculture. Azolla is known for its nitrogen-fixing abilities, which means it can convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use for their growth. This makes Azolla a valuable companion plant in rice paddies and other aquatic environments, as it contributes to soil fertility. Azolla beds are essentially containers or areas where Azolla is grown, and they can be set up in various ways. These beds are often placed in ponds, tanks, or other water bodies where Azolla can thrive. The fern grows rapidly, providing a green cover on the water surface, which helps suppress weed growth and reduce nutrient runoff.
