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 material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix as much as 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 since the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medication disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it occasionally utilized as property separation. It minimizes the soil erosion.
The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not stand up to frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does sales. Currently 247 households are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation tasks were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system offers 24-hour power supply at the very economical rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil lights up rural areas with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 loads of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process hence it develops task for numerous poor rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
