An aloe plantation gives commercial yield from second year to fifth year of transplanting. Generally 3-4 pickings per year can be taken depending upon the growth of plants. On an average 15-20 t/ha of fresh leaf is obtained from second year plantation. However well managed irrigated crop can give upto 30-35 t/ha fresh leaf. Fully developed mature leaves should be harvested for extraction of aloe juice.
