Abstract
Abstract Aloe vera ( Aloe vera L.) has been utilized for various therapeutic and cosmetic purposes; however, its agronomic management in Bangladesh remains underexplored. Therefore, a field trial was performed in Mymensingh, Bangladesh, to evaluate the combined effects of organic and inorganic fertilizers (IFs) on growth, nutrient composition, medicinal components, and post‐harvest soil fertility of A. vera . Nine treatments consisting of organic matter (OM) (cow dung [CD] and poultry manure [PM]) and IFs, namely, IF 0 OM 0 , IF 100 OM 0 , IF 85 OM 15 , IF 70 OM 30 , IF 55 OM 45 , IF 40 OM 60 , IF 25 OM 75 , IF 10 OM 90 , and IF 0 OM 100 , were laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replicates. The results of the study confirmed that integrated nutrient management substantially enhanced plant performance with the IF 25 OM 75 treatment in both CD and PM combinations, including the tallest plants, the highest leaf number, the largest leaf area, and the most suckers. Interestingly, CD containing integrated fertilizer produced about 14% more leaf biomass than PM containing integrated fertilizer, while PM‐containing treatments increased nutrient (N, P, K, Fe, Zn, and Mn) acquisition more effectively than CD‐based fertilizer. Biochemical assessments revealed that protein content peaked under IF 100 OM 0 . In contrast, chlorophyll, aloin, flavonoids, and phenolics were significantly higher in OM‐dominant treatments than IF, especially IF 0 OM 100 in both CD and PM containing fertilizer, which produced the highest aloin (494 µg g − 1 ) and phenolics (29.35 mg gallic acid equivalents g − 1 fresh weight content. The post‐harvest soil analysis revealed that higher OM, particularly PM, significantly enhanced soil fertility by increasing organic matter, N, P, S, Zn, and exchangeable K, Ca, and Mg compared with CD containing integrated fertilizer. Overall, the study suggested that integrating OM with moderate IF, especially IF 25 OM 75 for both CD and PM , can improve growth, nutritional value, medicinal properties, and soil fertility of A. vera .
