Aloe vera is one of the most important succulent plants known for its elemental and medicinal properties. It is grown large quantities in many parts of the country, including Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. To boost the Aloe vera production, experiment was conducted from 2019-20 to 2021-22 to assess the optimum spacing and different doses of organic manures on growth, yield, and diseases of Aloe vera. The planting at 60 X 60cm with 20 t FYM ha-1 yielded significantly highest no of suckers (12.37plant-1), number of leaves 16 plant-1 and leaf yield 214.86t ha-1
