jatropha curcas is the plant with numerous prospective advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the carbon dioxide emission discharged from it contaminates the environment, 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 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 utilized as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it periodically used as property demarcation. It minimizes the soil erosion.
The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges 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 adequate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha curcas is easy 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 developing in numerous nations. Mali is considered to be among the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is produces 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 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 small 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 really affordable cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of carbon dioxide per year. 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 intensive process for this reason it produces job for numerous poor rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a .
