What do you called the blue green algae that lives the azolla?
Anabaena azollae is the cyanobacterium that lives in the dorsal lobe of the Azolla leaves
Why Azolla is considered a natural fertilizer?
azolla is a good substitute for commercial fertilizers because it is cheap and rich in nitrogen
What is the scientific name for azolla?
The scientific name for azolla is Azolla filiculoides.
How azolla used as a biofertilizer?
A. caroliniana was introduced to southeast Asia as a bio-fertilizer and weed suppressor in rice fields. For centuries this species has been exploited for its ability to fix nitrogen through its symbiotic bacteria that exists in cavities within the leaves. Additionally, weeds are suppressed because very little usable light is transmitted through the canopy that A. caroliniana creates. This quality translates into more nutrients for the plants being cultivated above surface. Control of this species is easy because it floats on the top of the water; there are no roots attached to anything but the plant itself. The ease of removal makes this a great species to use for such an application. When the time comes to remove the A. caroliniana, the unwanted plants are collected by simply skimming them from the surface.
When was Azolla filiculoides created?
Azolla filiculoides was created in 1783.
When was Azolla primaeva created?
Azolla primaeva was created in 1890.
What has the author Thomas A Lumpkin written?

Anabaena and Azolla relationship?
parasitism
Most nitrogen is fixed by what?
Most nitrogen is fixed by microorganisms in the soil, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Rhizobium and Azotobacter. These bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use, helping to make nitrogen available for plant growth.
What are blue green algae that lives at the root of azolla plant?
Blue green algae or cyanobateria are nitrogen fixing prokaryotic bacteria which are one of the few organisms which can turn atmospheric ,comparitively inert and unusable nitrogen(N2)into usable compounds like nitrites(NO2) and nitrates(NO3)which are used by plants for synthesis of nitrogen compounds like proteins necessary for life
Where do azolla live?
Azolla is a type of fern that has been around since the time of the Dinosaurs. It is a bio fertilizer that may be used in paddy fields and similar cultivation to avoid harsh chemical fertilizers that destroy the soil.
How does azolla or wolfia negatively affect lemna species?
Azolla and Wolffia can negatively affect Lemna species by outcompeting them for resources like nutrients and light, leading to reduced growth and population size of Lemna. Additionally, the dense mats formed by Azolla and Wolffia can shade out Lemna plants, further inhibiting their growth and survival.
