Explanation: Azolla can co-exist with rice plants because it does not interfere with their growth. In some southeast Asian countries, especially China, the rice fields are regularly provided with Azolla. The fern is stocked in a corner of rice field and provided with manure, ash, and straw before transplantation. When the field is flooded at the time of transplantation, the fern spreads rapidly and covers the space in between the rice plants. Anabaena, a blue-green algae resides in the leaf cavities of the fern, It fixes nitrogen. A part of the fixed nitrogen is excreted in the cavities and becomes available to the fern. The decaying fern plants release the same for utilisation by the rice plants.
