Azolla Cultivation Process:

Site Preparation: Choose a shaded area close to a water source for optimal growth and ease of maintenance.

Bed Setup: Install on a flat surface, fill with 6 inches of water, and add a mix of fertile soil, cow dung, and water (or biogas slurry) as fertilizer.

Inoculation: Introduce fresh Azolla culture into the bed.

Maintenance: Apply cow dung and superphosphate every 2 weeks. Harvest Azolla daily after 15-20 days.

Refilling: Empty and clean the bed every six months, refill with fresh water and Azolla culture.

Excess Azolla: Dry excess Azolla for future use as feed for livestock and poultry.
