USE OF INDIGENOUS Azolla pinnata ISOLATES OF ODISHA AS GREEN MANURE

Binodini Mishra

Abstract :

Azolla pinnata is mostly observed in the north eastern coastal plains, eastern and south eastern coastal plains of Odisha. Use of Azolla as green manure on rice plant was better than N– fertilizer as it yielded more tillers with longer panicles, more straw weight and grains. Straw weight and grain yield in wet season is less as compared to dry season. Thus, in Odisha a big amount of nitrogen fertilizer costing a huge amount of capital can be saved in each year through the use of Azolla as biofertilizer in the rice cropping system.
