jatropha curcas is the plant with many possible benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission produced from it contaminates the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.
The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, little care is enough for its growth. 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 can be used as biodiesel blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional medicine disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it sometimes utilized as property demarcation. It reduces 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 must be totally free draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate 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 developing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha curcas growing. The private power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 families 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 supplies 24-hour power supply at the really affordable price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process for this reason it produces job for lots of bad rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
