slide3. Production technology of Aloe vera B.Sc. (Ag.) IV Sem. (Production Technology for Ornamental Crops, MAP and Landscaping)<br>
slide4. B.Sc. (Ag.) IV Sem. (Production Technology for Ornamental Crops, MAP and Landscaping) Botanical Name : Aloe vera or Aloe barbadensis
Family : Liliaceae/Asphodelaceae
Chromosome No. :2n=2x=14
Origin : Eastern and South Africa Plant Part use –Leaves, roots, seeds
Uses:
1. Anthelmintic-used for helminthaiases in children and used as purgative.
2. Used for local applications in painful inflammations, chronic ulcers and ophthalmic
3. Juice is used for flatulence, constipation, abdominal tumors, piles, sciatica, lumbago
4. Used for curing skin diseases and uterus disorders Production technology of Aloe vera<br>
slide5. Soil:
Soil: Aloe is a hardy crop which can be grown on wide variety of soils. It growth well in sandy coastal and loamy soils with pH up to 8.5 water logged, problematic soils not suitable.
Climate:
Climate: Wide adaptability, hence cultivation is possible throughout the country and prefers dessert and dry situations. Grown in hot and dry climate with 35-40 cm annual rainfall.
Land preparation and planting:
The land is ploughed and cross ploughed thoroughly. Farm yard manure is added @ 15 t/ha during the last ploughing. Ridges and furrows are formed at 45 or 60cm apart. The plot may be irrigated if necessary. The suckers are planted at 40 or 30cm apart, maintaining the spacing suggested. B.Sc. (Ag.) IV Sem. (Production Technology for Ornamental Crops, MAP and Landscaping)<br>
slide6. Spacing and plant population:
Normally a spacing of 40cm x 45cm or 60cm x 30cm is followed. This accommodates about 55000 plants per hectare.. 15-18 cm long root suckers or rhizome cutting are planted in flat beds or ridge and furrows with a spacing of 60x30cm or 60x45 cm. during planting the 2/3rd portion of suckers/cutting is buried in the soil.
Improved varieties:
Varieties: IC- 111266, IC-111267, IC-111271, IC-111273.
Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, Lucknow, has also released the variety AL-1 for cultivation.
Propagation:
It is generally propagated by root suckers or rhizome cuttings. For this purpose, medium sized root suckers are chosen and carefully dug out without damaging the parent plant at the base and directly planted in the main field. B.Sc. (Ag.) IV Sem. (Production Technology for Ornamental Crops, MAP and Landscaping)<br>
slide7. Manures and fertilizers
The crop responds well to the application of farm yard manure and compost. In the first year of plantation, FYM @15 t/ha is applied during the land preparation. During the subsequent years, the same dose of FYM is applied every year. Besides 50 :50:50 kg/ha of N:P:K is applied as basal dose.
Irrigation
Aloe can be successfully cultivated both under irrigated and rainfed conditions. Provision of irrigation immediately after planting and during summer season will ensure good yields. However, the plants are sensitive to water logged conditions.
Interculture:
In order to facilitate healthy soil atmosphere, soil works like spading, earthing up, etc. are required in aloe plantation. Weeding at regular intervals are some important intercultural operations. B.Sc. (Ag.) IV Sem. (Production Technology for Ornamental Crops, MAP and Landscaping)<br>
slide8. Plant protection
Aloe is known to be infected by fungus causing leafspot disease. This effects yield and quality of the gel adversely. The disease can be controlled by spraying recommended fungicides.
Harvest
The thick fleshy leaves are ready for harvest from the second year after planting. Normally, three harvests are taken in a year by removing three to four leaves per plant. Harvesting is labour intensive. It is carried out in the morning and / or evening. The leaves will regenerate from the scar and thus the crop can be harvested upto 5 years after planting. Apart from leaves, the side suckers, which can be used as planting material, can also be sold. B.Sc. (Ag.) IV Sem. (Production Technology for Ornamental Crops, MAP and Landscaping)<br>
slide9. Yield
Yield may be as high as 50 - 55 tonnes of thick fleshy leaves from one hectare plantation. However, a conservative yield of about 40 t/ha may be considered for working out day viability of bankable schemes. Suckers from about 55-60% of the plants could be sold out annually B.Sc. (Ag.) IV Sem. (Production Technology for Ornamental Crops, MAP and Landscaping) Post harvest management
Care must be taken in preparing the leafy plant material for drying or distillation. Freshly harvested plant are generally allowed to wilt and loose moisture in the field before transporting, although some volatiles are lost. Wilting is noticed normally within 24 to 72 hours. But the plant should be kept dry and cool to prevent fermentation or mould growth. A concrete floor under shade can be used. The best oil is in the top leaves.<br>
slide10. Economic life
Commercially yield is obtained from the second to fifth year, after which it needs replanting. B.Sc. (Ag.) IV Sem. (Production Technology for Ornamental Crops, MAP and Landscaping)<br>
