Performance of Yield and Nutritional Quality of Azolla pinnata Cultivated under Different Water Sources

The performance of yield and nutritional quality of Azolla pinnata cultivated in different water sources like Well water, River water, Bore well, Sewage water and Drainage (water-House) was shows that there is no significant change in yield between the treatments, however, higher yield of 32 kg fresh Azolla pinnata was observed in river water (T2) and lowest yield of 23.49kg in Bore well water (T3). Secondly, no significant change in crude protein content between the treatments but highest value of 28.44% in Sewage water (T4) with an average value of 25.86% is record. The increased fresh Azolla yield and protein content may be due to lower total dissolved solids, total hardness as CaCo3 and higher in Phosphate availability in the water.
