Aloe vera grows best in temperatures between 55-80属F with bright sunlight. It grows in various soil types but prefers well-drained soil with high organic matter. Proper cultural practices include spacing plants 40-60 cm apart, regular irrigation and weeding, applying manure and fertilizers, and harvesting leaves 3-4 times per year. Aloe vera yields 15-20 tonnes per hectare annually but can reach 30-35 tonnes with good irrigation and management. Its leaves contain various chemicals that provide health benefits like boosting immunity, promoting hair growth, preventing cancer, treating skin ailments, and aiding digestion.

3. 1. ALOE VERA
CLIMATE - : Aloe vera do best in temperatures between
55 and 80属F (13 and 27属C). It grows well in bright sun
light.
SOIL REQUIREMENT - It is grown in all kind of soils but
well drained soil with high organic matter, is most
suitable.
Land Preparation: To increase the soil fertility, add about 15
to 20 tonnes of well-rotted farmyard manure. Make sure to
level the land after ploughing .

4. Cultural practices
Spacing : the spacing between plants should be 40 x 45
cm (or) 60 x 30 cm maintained.
Irrigation REQUIREMENT -Aloe Vera crops can be
grown both under rainfed and irrigated conditions.
Irrigation should be carried out immediately after
planting the suckers.
Weed Control- Weeding should be done at regular
intervals

5. Cultural practices
Manures and Fertilizers : As part of the land
preparation, apply 15 to 20 tonnes/ha of well-rotted
farmyard manure (FYM).
Thereafter the same dose of farmyard manure should
be applied every year.
As a basal dose, fertilizers like NPK in the ratio of
50:50:50 kg per hectare should be applied.
Pests and Diseases of : Aloe rust, basal stem rot, and
bacterial soft rot are the common pests .

6. Cultural practices
Harvesting : Aloe Vera crop will become ready for
harvesting from the second year after planting.
Fresh leaves of 3 or 4 can be picked.
Picking up leaves should be done during morning or
evening times.
Three harvests can be carried in one year time.
This crop is a labor-intensive crop. After harvesting
leaves, again they re-generate up to 5 years after
planting. Not only leaves but side suckers can also be
harvested for use in planting material.

7. Yield
YIELD -The average yield of ALOE VERA leaves for
one hectare of land is estimated to be 15 to 20 tonnes.
If a plant is well irrigated and managed then the yield is
higher, i.e. 30 to 35 tonnes per hectare.

8. Important chemical
constituents
IMPORTANT CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS
Active components with its properties: Aloe vera
contains 75 potentially active constituents: vitamins,
enzymes, minerals, sugars, lignin, saponins, salicylic
acids and amino acids.
1. Vitamins: It contains vitamins A (beta-carotene), C
and E, which are antioxidants. It also contains vitamin
B12, folic acid, and choline. Antioxidant neutralizes free
radicals.
2. Enzymes: It contains 8 enzymes: aliiase, alkaline
phosphatase, amylase ANKIT SHARDA
9. Important chemical
constituents
bradykinase, carboxypeptidase, catalase, cellulase,
lipase, and peroxidase. Bradykinase helps to reduce
excessive inflammation when applied to the skin topically,
while others help in the breakdown of sugars and fats.
3. Minerals: It provides calcium, chromium, copper,
selenium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium
and zinc. They are essential for the proper functioning of
various enzyme systems in different metabolic pathways
and few are antioxidants.
4. Sugars: It provides monosaccharides (glucose and
fructose) and polysaccharides:
(glucomannans/polymannose).

10. Important chemical
constituents
5. Fatty acids: It provides 4 plant steroids; cholesterol,
campesterol, 硫-sisosterol and lupeol. All these have anti-
inflammatory action and lupeol also possesses antiseptic
and analgesic properties.
6. Hormones: Auxins and gibberellins that help in wound
healing and have anti-inflammatory action.
7. Others: It provides 20 of the 22 human
required aminoacids and 7 of the 8 essential amino acids. It
also contains salicylic acid that possesses anti-
inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
