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.
The scientific name for azolla is Azolla filiculoides.
Azolla filiculoides was created in 1783.
Azolla primaeva was created in 1890.

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.
Azolla is a floating aquatic fern that helps rice cultivation by enhancing soil fertility through nitrogen fixation. It forms a symbiotic relationship with cyanobacteria, which convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use. When incorporated into rice fields, Azolla can improve soil nutrient levels, reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers, and suppress weed growth. Additionally, it can enhance water retention in soil, contributing to better rice yields.
