Abstract
The study aims to explore the response of growth, yield and antioxidant content of Aloe vera plant in sandy soil which is marginal land to need added of fertilizer dosage combination to improve fertility. The experiment was conducted in the districts of Bantul sandy soil Special Region of Yogyakarta, crop production laboratory Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa University and Research and Test Integrated Laboratory Gadjah Mada University. The research was arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design factorial with three replications. The first factor dosage of manure, namely 10, 20 and 30 tons ha-1. The second factor dosage of urea fertilizer namely 0; 150; 300; 450 and 600 kg ha-1. Variable of observations include the components of growth, yield and antioxidants content. Analysis of the results using analysis of variance on a significant level of 5 % , followed by Duncan 's Multiple Range Test at the 5% significance level. The conclusion was interaction between manure and urea fertilizer dosage on all of variable observation. The growth and yield highest obtained on addition manure 30 ton ha-1 and urea 450 kg ha -1. Antioxidant content highest obtained addition manure 20 ton ha-1 and urea 30 kg ha-1. Keyword; Aloe vera, antioxidant, manure, sandy soil, urea
