The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it sometimes utilized as home demarcation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.
The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be complimentary draining pipes with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It provides oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electricity sales. Currently 247 households are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection costs. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) mission of the of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation projects were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the very affordable cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural locations with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 heaps of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it produces task for numerous poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
