“…However, mineral nitrogen fertilization increases length, number and fresh weight of leaves (Egbuchua and Enujeke, 2015). As reported by Olfati et al (2015) nitric sources of nitrogen associated with ammonium in low concentration promote growth of aloe vera. Nitrogen generates higher yield, content of gel, chlorophyll and aloin in the leaf (Hazrati et al, 2012).…”

“…In aloe vera crops, nitrogen is an indispensable nutrient due to its importance in the conformation of photosynthetically active pigments that affect development and yield (Olfati et al, 2015). According to Trejo et al (2008) the concentration of pigments and nitrogen fertilization are correlated.…”

“…Nitrogen is an essential nutrient element needed during cultivation of Aloe vera due to its importance in the conformation of photosynthetically active pigments that affect the development and yield [70,71]. In Aloe vera plantation, organic manure such as cow dung with urea is equivalent in effect to mineral fertilization [3].…”

Aims: This study aims to review the diverse uses of Aloe vera (true aloe) as well as the conservation measures and conventional cultivation techniques. Study Design: Best evidence review. Place and Duration of Study: Biomedicinal Research Centre, Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria. Methodology: Search inputs such as Aloe vera, Aloe barbadensis in conjunction with the following terms: ‘uses’, ‘overexploitation’, ‘conservation’, ‘policy’, ‘cultivation’, ‘yield’, and ‘agronomic practices’ were queried on several scientific databases. Search engines, were also queried for publications covering exploitation, conservation approaches, and cultivation requirements on Aloe vera. Other databases such as ScienceDirect and SciFinder were accessed for relevant papers and supplement acquired information after articles (outside the defined scope of the review) were excluded. Results: Aloe vera (true aloe) has been engaged particularly for medicinal and cosmetic purposes for thousands of years, and its utilization remains popular till date. Aloe vera is popularly valued for its natural products, including nutritional benefits in food, source of nectar for honey bees and nectarivorous birds and horticulture. In this study, several studies demonstrating the botanical characteristics and ecological adaptation of A. vera were discussed; agronomic techniques involving the requirements for land preparation, propagation and harvesting were also considered as well as the growth yield of the plant due to different soil types and nutrient applications. Conclusion: For the multifarous uses of Aloe vera, adequate policy should be appropriated to regions where this plant is put to industrial uses, over-exploited and threatened. Calcareous and non-calcareous soil have maximum yield on true aloe. Azotobacter chroococcum of strain 12 has turned out to be a good growth stimulant bacterium when treated with A. vera. Aloe rust and anthracnose disease are known fungal infections, while Aloe vera aphid (Aloephagus myersi) is an identified pest of the plant.

“…Saliqehdar et al (2013, 2014) developed a nutrient solution, using 9.7 meqL −1 NO 3 and 5.8 meq·L −1 K, which produced the highest vegetative growth without negative effects on qualitative indices including aloin, total phenol, total antioxidative activity and element contents. Olfati et al (2015) indicated that the NO 3 supply combined with low quantities of

Propagation Techniques and Agronomic Requirements for the Cultivation of Barbados Aloe (Aloe vera (L.) Burm. F.)—A Review

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Barbados aloe (Aloe vera (L.) Burm. F.) has traditionally been used for healing in natural medicine. However, aloe is now attracting great interest in the global market due to its bioactive chemicals which are extracted from the leaves and used in industrial preparations for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food products. Aloe originated from tropical and sub-tropical Africa, but it is also now cultivated in warm climatic areas of Asia, Europe, and America. In this review, the most important factors affecting aloe production are described. We focus on propagation techniques, sustainable agronomic practices and efficient post harvesting and processing systems.
