The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi arid area, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated effectively as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a conventional medicine disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it occasionally used as home separation. It lowers the soil erosion.
The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be totally free draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It offers oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not endure frost.
The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical power 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 Ministry of Power (MOP) planning 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 cost effective rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 lots of carbon dioxide per year. The biggest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure thus it creates task for lots of poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
