Pourosity of Soil and Void space :
Weight of Empty Beaker : 80 gm
1000 ml soil = 992 gm
After adding 700 ml Water
Weight of Soil = 1.663 kg
700 ml Water = 687 gm Water
Preaparation :
- Take 4 jars add 1 liter Water in Each Jar .
- Add 350 ml Water And 0 gm , 1 gm , 2 gm , 3 gm in each jar respectively .
- taking Jars for 5 Days at Optimum pressure .
- After 5 Days using this Soil For Growing Azolla .
- Adding this Soil in each Jar 0 gm , 1 gm , 2 gm , 3 gm respectively .
- Adding 3 liter Water and 20 gm in each tray respectively .
- checking Weight of Azolla After 48 hrs And 72 hrs .
Obsevation :
After 48 hrs
| Trays | Weight of Azolla |
| 0 gm | 33 gm |
| 1 gm | 40 gm |
| 2 gm | 32 gm |
| 3 gm | 31 gm |
After 72 hrs
| Trays | Weight of Azolla |
| 0 gm | 35 gm |
| 1 gm | 45 gm |
| 2 gm | 40 gm |
| 3 gm | 36 gm |
Conclusion :

Using Agri wash and black soil for growing Azolla
Date : 09/05/2022
Observation :
After 72 hrs
| Trays | Weight of Azolla |
| 1 kg soil + 3 liter water + 20 gm Azolla | 27 gm |
| Agriculture wash | 20 gm |
Observation :
- Physiological growth parameter as leaf count , plant height control (B ) was higher as compare treatment (A).
- B treatment found beneficial as it showed more region plant high 20 % more dry weight as compared to control.
CONCLUSION :
- Initially we found control plants visually having better growth but concluding stage they lacked in growth parameter. This may because initial soil was able to supply required nutrients but after Weeks nutrient were started depleting.
- Instead of feeding ( extracting ) nutrient from agro – waste we suggest to use live bacterial consortium from agro- waste culture .
