jatropha curcas is the plant with many potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the carbon dioxide emission emitted from it pollutes the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.
The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi arid region, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed includes 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medicine disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it occasionally utilized as home demarcation. It decreases the soil erosion.
The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be free draining pipes with no water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It supplies oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.
The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in many nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha curcas cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households are connected 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) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation jobs were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the very cost effective cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of carbon dioxide 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 biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process thus it produces job for many poor rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable resource.
