jatropha curcas is the plant with many prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining quickly and the carbon dioxide emission released 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 desert, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil material 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 tested effectively as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medication disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in crops from livestock and it occasionally used as residential or commercial property demarcation. It lowers the soil erosion.
The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be free draining without any water logging. But adequate 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 provides 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 thought about to be among the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical power 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) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation projects were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system provides 24-hour power supply at the very budget friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad 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 lights up backwoods 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 decreases 20 loads of co2 each year. The largest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure thus it produces task for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
