Experiments were conducted the xerophytic Aloe vera (L.) Burm. f. plant samples of three age group viz. 20 days, 40 days and 60 days old plants in order to estimate the change in productivity (total yield) and protein content under differential water stress conditions. The plantlets were subjected to different water stress conditions under excess, optimum and deficient water supply under water-logging, daily-watering, alternate-day, bi-weekly, once-a-week water supply conditions. It was found that the total productivity and protein content was maximum in once-a-week watered plants and minimum in daily-watered plants indicating that the cultivation practice adopted for best production of the crop should be based on intermittent weekly rather than continuous water supply to the plants. Water-logged conditions were detrimental for their survival.Keywords

The rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri), also known as ring-necked parakeet (Fig. 1), distributed in tropical Africa and Asia, is adapted to living in different habitats enjoying 'least concern' status of the IUCN (Bird Life International, 2012). However, due to it's popularity as pet and unpopularity as crop foragers, it's population is becoming stumpy in some parts of the native range.
