Nitrogen use efficiency and critical leaf N concentration of Aloe vera in urea and diammonium phosphate amended soil

Abstract: Aloe vera L . is widely cultivated in many countries due to its importance as an all-purpose herbal or medicinal plant. The growth and yield of this plant can be enhanced by application of fertilizer. It is expected that a higher and balanced nutrient supply will result in higher crop production maintaining soil health, which is possible when the applied fertilizers are done in way that is efficient. So, there is a need to understand the amount of applied and type of fertilize… Show more

“…As nutrient uptake and crop yields are the primary factors that determine optimal fertilization practices [20], a higher and more balanced nutrient supply is expected to result in higher crop production while maintaining soil health. This is possible when fertilizers are applied in an efficient manner, thereby minimizing the loss of nutrients and improving its efficiency [21,22]. Nitrogen is a critical nutrient for plant growth and development, as well as the most complicated, due to the numerous forms and activities that may occur throughout its cycle [23].…”
