dc.description.abstract	This study was carried out at Shambat to investigate the effect of Sulfur fertilizer on growth and yield of Aloe vera plants under nursery conditions of Shambat, Khartoum North, Sudan. Elemental Sulfur was tested as soil application to the potting media in black polyethylene bags at rates of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 g/plant. The study was accomplished in complete randomized design and each treatment was replicated 8 times. Treatments were repeated every 3 month. Data were collected 12 months after the commencement of the study. Data analysis revealed significant enhancement in growth parameters in sulfur treated plants compared to the control. Except for the peel weight and chlorophyll content, the highest values of measured parameters were obtained from the 4.0 g sulfur treatment / plant. Under the conditions of the study, these results elucidated the benefit of sulfur fertilizer as a tool for enhanced production of Aloe vera	en_US
