As a staple in Indonesian diet, rice demand increase along with the population growth. Therefore, order to fulfill continuous increase, researches were conducted land productivity. The of growth and productivity upland application Azospirillum sp. Azotobacter compost, Azolla, bran carrier studied. Nitrogen fixer applied as biofertiliser mean supply available nitrogen for This research was Cipar...

The excessive application of synthetic fertilizers can result in severe environmental risks, while composting green and fresh feedstocks provide slow-release nutrients. Therefore, the aim current investigation was to study effects eight individual combination treatments azolla compost NPK (control = no fertilizer compost; 100% full recommended dose as follows: 165 kg N ha?1, 37 P2O5 ha?1 50 K2O...

Azolla (Salviniales: Azollaceae) is known to reduce oviposition and adult emergence of a number of mosquito species. Several species of Azolla are reportedly indigenous to Tanzania. However, the potential of Azolla as a biocontrol agent against malaria mosquitoes has not been evaluated in the country. This cross-sectional study was carried out to assess mosquito larval productivity in irrigated...

in the first phase of this research, adaptability of winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) varieties were investigated to select high yielding rapeseed cultivars. accordingly, two field experiments were performed in 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 cropping seasons at experimental field of agricultural and natural resources research center of markazi province, in arak, iran, in a randomized complete block...

Azolla spp. is a water fern that hosts Anabaena azolla, an N-fixing cyanobacterium, in its dorsal leaf cavities. occurs naturally freshwater bodies warm-temperate and tropical regions, they have commonly been grown rice paddies as living fertilizer, providing N to the crop. We evaluated potential use of harvested from applied biofertilizer dryland vegetable crops. Two-thirds greenhouse gas emis...

Soil salinity has become a major constraint to rice productivity in the coastal region of Bangladesh, which threatened food security. Therefore, field experiment was conducted at salt stressed Shyamnagor Upazilla Satkhira district improve soil status, sustainable production and suppression global warming potentials. Selected amendments viz. trichocompost, tea waste compost, azolla compost phosp...

A phylogeny for all extant species of the heterosporous fern genus Azolla is presented here based on more than 5000 base pairs of DNA sequence data from six plastid loci (rbcL, atpB, rps4, trnL-trnF, trnG-trnR, and rps4-trnS). Our results are in agreement with other recent molecular phylogenetic hypotheses that support the monophyly of sections Azolla and Rhizosperma and the proposed relationsh...

In order to understand the physicochemical mechanisms that could explain the massive growth of Azolla arctica in the Eocene Arctic Ocean, we carried out a laboratory experiment in which we studied the interacting effects of rain and wind on the development of salinity stratification, both in the presence and in the absence of a dense Azolla cover. Additionally, we carried out a mesocosm experim...

Enormous quantities of the free-floating freshwater fern Azolla grew and reproduced in situ in the Arctic Ocean during the middle Eocene, as was demonstrated by microscopic analysis of microlaminated sediments recovered from the Lomonosov Ridge during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 302. The timing of the Azolla phase (approximately 48.5 Ma) coincides with the earliest signs...

Azolla caroliniana Willd. is widely used as a green manure accompanying rice, but its ecological importance remains unclear, except for its ability to fix nitrogen in association with cyanobacteria. To investigate the impacts of Azolla cultivation on methane emissions and environmental variables in paddy fields, we performed this study on the plain of Dongting Lake, China, in 2014. The results ...
