Azolla-Anabaena Association and Its Significance In Supportable Agriculture ​

Abstract

The Azolla-Anabaena association is important agronomically owing to its capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen at cheaper and faster rates and making it available to crop plants. Nitrogen fixing capacity of the system is due to the presence of a symbiotic cyanobacterium Anabaena azollae which inhabits the dorsal lobe of the leaves. The system is important as it helps in enrichment and maintaining soil fertility and thus offers sound ecological sustainability on a long term basis. Owing to its several other uses as green manure, water purifier, animal feed etc. The system is referred to as “green gold mine”. However, it is still an underutilized association with tremendous potential for exploitation.
