Aloe Vera Farming Project Report – Introduction To Aloe Vera Farming:

ALOE VERA is an evergreen perennial plant which was believed to have originated from the Arabian

Peninsula some 6000 years ago. Generally, this plant grows in the wild where the climatic conditions are

tropical in nature. This plant is stemless and attains a height in the range of 60 to 100 cm. The leaves of
this plant are either grayish green or green with thick flesh inside. The leaves are serrated with small

white teeth. The fleshy substance inside the leaves has a bad odor and is bitter to taste. The flowers of the

plant are yellow in color and are not used for medicinal purposes. This plant is Succulent in nature that is,

it has the ability to close the stomata to avoid loss of water through evaporation, thereby surviving

drought conditions. It originated as an ornamental plant but now its cultivation is in demand due to its
unending list of medicinal properties. Though this plant originated in the Arabian Peninsula it first gained
popularity in the United States. ALOE VERA has been used in various forms like gel, juice, creams, raw,

etc. ALOE VERA is ready to use medicine which can be cultivated in the kitchen garden. The life of an Aloe

plant is considered to be 12 years. The chemical constituents of the ALOE VERA plant are either obtained

from the gel or the latex leaf lining. The gel has polysaccharides, vitamins (A, C, E), amino acids, plant

sterols, salicylic acid, magnesium, zinc, calcium, glucose, and cholesterol. Whereas the latex leaf lining
has anthraquinone glycosides (aloin, Aloe-emodin, and barbaloin). The gel of ALOE VERA has 99% water

and a pH of 4.5. There are many compounds present in ALOE VERA, which account for different properties

of the plant.

Aloe Vera Farming Project Report – Popular Varieties Of Aloe Vera:

This plant is known to have 240 different species and hybrids of which only a few are recognized to have

medicinal properties and are cultivated. National Botanical Plant Genetic Resource, ICAR, Delhi has

Aloe Vera Farming Project Report – Propagation For Aloe Vera Farming:

ALOE VERA plants produce offshoots at the base close to the soil level and these can be used for

propagation. These offshoots are put in a mixture of sand, charcoal and potting soil. A young ALOE VERA

plant can also be used for propagation purpose. The area where leaves grow actively is chosen and is
carefully removed. The leaf is then dipped in the rooting hormone and left at room temperature for 2 to 3

days such that the end dries up and forms call us. This leaf is now ready to be planted in a pot with a well

prepared potting mixture. The plant is lightly watered and kept under indirect light. It takes several weeks
for the plant to start rooting.

Aloe Vera Farming Project Report – Land Preparation And Sowing For Aloe Vera Farming:

The roots of this plant do not penetrate deep into the soil; therefore soil distribution should not be too

deep. The soil can be given 1 – 2 ploughings and levelling can be done. Cow dung manure @ 25
tonnes/ha is added to the soil during the land preparation. Ridges and furrows are made with a minimum

distance of 45 cm. 15-18 cm of the plant rhizome cutting size planted such that only two-thirds of the

portion is below the ground. The plant to plant and row to row spacing is 60 x 60 cm. One hectare of land

approximately requires 15,000 rhizomes for plantation.

Aloe Vera Farming Project Report – Irrigation Needs For Aloe Vera Farming:

This plant doesn’t require much water. The farming of ALOE VERA can be done in both rainfed and

irrigation conditions. 4 to 6 irrigation cycles are required annually for proper growth and yield of the

plant. First irrigation is done soon after planting and light irrigation is done after harvesting the leaves.
The plant is not tolerant of waterlogging.

Aloe Vera Farming Project Report – Fertilizer And Weed Control For Aloe Vera Farming:

This plant is mainly cultivated as an organic crop because it finds its use in medicines and health care.

Farm Yard Manure (FYM) @ 12 tonnes/ha is used as a fertilizer to the crop. During the planting when pits

are prepared vermicompost @ 2.5 tonnes/ha and wood ash can be used. Sometimes ammonium nitrate is

used as an additional supplement for producing higher yields. The manual weed control mechanism is
preferred.

Aloe Vera Farming Project Report – Disease And Pest Control In Aloe Vera Farming:

Initially, infected leaves should be removed and destroyed. Termites can be controlled by giving the plant

light irrigations. Mealybug causes the leaf to turn yellow and wither off, this can be controlled by the

application of methyl parathion @ 10 ml or quinalphos @ 20 ml mixed in 10 liters of water. Black and

brown spots on the leaves can be controlled by avoiding low temperatures and moisture. Defoliation,

dieback, twig cankers, blotches, anthracnose, and shoot blight can all be controlled by spraying 70% of
neem oil.

Aloe Vera Farming Project Report – Harvesting In Aloe Vera Farming:

The commercial yield is obtained in the second or the fifth year of planting. Leaves which have a large

base and are healthy are harvested by cutting them at an angle close to the base of the plant. The plant
can be harvested a minimum four times in a year. The harvesting is either done in the morning or in the
evening.

Post Harvest Management In Aloe Vera Farming:

The yellow colorless juice that oozes out of the cut leaf is drained into vessels which are concentrated by
evaporation or by frequent boiling. Hepatic or livery Aloe is an amorphous, opaque waxy substance

obtained by either sun drying or concentrating Aloe juice over the fire. The pulp within the Aloe is scraped

out, stirred in a blender to form a homogenous mixture which is strained, filtered and precipitated by
adding acetone to it slowly while stirring the mixture. This content is stored overnight and the gel is

isolated by centrifugation. The processing of the ALOE VERA has to be done within a few hours of harvest

to prevent oxidation.

Some of the biological activities of ALOE VERA are outlined here.

Healing properties: it is believed that the presence of polysaccharides and gibberellins (a growth

hormone) interact with the growth factor receptors of the fibroblast and increase the collagen content

which in turn increases the breaking strength of the tissue.

Modulates immunity: the compound acemannan found in ALOE VERA leaves tends to increase the number

of monocytes, white blood cells, and macrophages which helps to improve the immunity of patients.

Antimicrobial properties: the compounds such as lupeol, salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamonic acid,

phenols, and sulphur are found in ALOE VERA and are antiseptic in nature. All these compounds can

Effect on the skin and mucous membrane: the enzymes present in the ALOE VERA gel accelerate the
healing capacity of the skin and mucous membrane. The moisturizing agents within the gel help in the

treatment of psoriasis, skin burns, dry skin, wrinkles, and erythema.

UV and gamma radiations: the presence of metallothionein helps the skin to become less sensitive when

exposed to UV radiations.

Anti-diabetic properties: ALOE VERA enhances the glucose metabolism by an antioxidant mechanism

which helps in decreased levels of diabetics.

Aloe Vera Farming Project Report – Tips For Growing Aloe Vera At Home:

It should be planted in wide containers because it spreads as the leaves grow.

Place the container in moderate sunlight.

The plant should be watered sufficiently, but there should be a gap between the watering cycles so that

the soil is allowed to dry and prevent rotting.

As it is known that Aloe propagates through offsets, as the plant grows to find some offsets and use
them to plant in new areas. These offshoots should be dried to form callus for a day or two.

It is recommended that the offshoots should not be planted deep into the soil.

The offshoots which have no roots initially for a month should not be watered. As the root growth is
clear, light watering can be done.

Fertilizers are not required, but care should be taken to avoid pests and diseases by occasionally

spraying neem oil.
