effect of different amount of manures on the leaf and plant characteristics as well as yield of Aloe vera. There

urea, T7= 5% cowdung + 95% soil, T8=soil + urea. It was observed that the plant produced highest number of
leaves and maximum leaf weight, maximum leaf breadth, total leaf area as well as length and breadth of largest
leaves with application of 50% cowdung + 50% soil (T2). Different plant characters such as weight of tiller, stem
and root as well as root length was also found to be highest with T2 treatment over control (100% soil). The
growth rate of leaves also significantly affected by different manure treatments where maximum effect was
noticed at early stages with all the treatment. It was revealed that urea had a little effect on plant character of Aloe
vera over organic manure (cowdung).
