Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the effect of different level of salicylic and ascorbic acid on Aloe vera morphological characteristics. To do this he completely randomized factorial design with 5 replicates was used. Data showed that ascorbic acid had significant effect on A. vera biochemical and morphological characteristics. The ascorbic acid supplementation could have significant effect on leave thickness and diameter. The higher salinity reduced wet and dry gel weight, and also reduced the interaction between salinity and ascorbic acid. We may conclude that the using of ascorbic acid could change some effect of salinity on A. vera plant.

Keywords Aloe vera;gel weight;ascorbic acid;salinity;salicylic acid;morphological characteristics.
