1. GREEN COLOR
This color symbolizes a healthy and vibrant growing Azolla.
Frequently harvest your Azolla to prevent overcrowding and eventually death.
2. GREY COLOR
When Azolla turns grey, this symbolizes lack of timely harvesting, therefore a farmer is requested to maintain proper timely harvesting of Azolla.
3. REDDISH COLOR
This change of color is being associated with a lot of factors. These factors can include;
1. Alkalinity of water.
2. Unfertilized waters.
3. High temperatures.
Azolla does well in a less acidic water ranging from the pH value of 5.8 to 6.8. This creates favorable environment for faster formation of spore hence increases reproduction. Azolla as well uses phosphorus as a primary fertilizer, a farmer therefore is required to apply Cowdung or goat manure, you can as well apply BSF Frass for rapid Azolla growth and green color maintenance. Lastly Azolla does well in a temperature range of 27 to 35 degrees celcious.
NOTE:
For high multiplication, apply a shade.
For salty waters, apply soil mixed with cowdung slurry and apply inorganic fertilizers majorly super phosphates.
For Chlorine water: Leave the water for 3 hrs in direct sunlight before introducing your Azolla.
