Azolla

Azolla is a great free floating fern which grows very well in the right conditions and can be put to many uses. As cattle feed it increases milk production in cows, as chicken feed it increases weight of chicken and eggs, as a biofertilizer it provides nitrogen supplement to plants and it can also be eaten by human beings.
