Strain Selection

High-yielding strains of Azolla pinnata and Azolla microphylla adapted to local climatic conditions.

🌡️

Water Parameters

Maintained at pH 5.5–7.0 and 20–30°C for optimal growth. Pond depth restricted to 10–20cm for maximum sunlight penetration.

💧

Nutrient Management

Organic supplementation using treated cow dung and targeted superphosphate applications to stimulate rapid biomass doubling.

⚙️

Harvesting Cycle

Continuous daily harvesting of 10–20% of total pond biomass to prevent overcrowding and maintain exponential growth phase.

Pond Construction

  • Excavated 0.5–1.0 hectare individual cells for disease isolation
  • High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) liners to prevent water loss and soil contamination
  • Gravity-fed water circulation and drainage systems

Processing Facilities

  • Mechanized washing and dewatering stations
  • Industrial solar/biomass hybrid drying kilns
  • Milling and pellet extrusion lines
  • Dedicated food-grade production area for human supplements
🧪

Quality Assurance

Rigorous testing protocols at every stage of production to ensure safety and nutritional consistency.

  • • Daily water quality testing (pH, EC, DO)
  • • Heavy metal screening of inputs
  • • Weekly crude protein batch analysis
  • • Microbial testing for food-grade products
🛡️

Pest & Disease Management

Strict biosecurity measures replacing chemical pesticides with natural controls.

  • • Pond cell isolation to contain outbreaks
  • • Introduction of natural predators for insect larvae control
  • • Routine pond fallowing and sun-baking
  • • Netting systems for bird/wildlife exclusion
