The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be complimentary draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha 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 poor soil. It can not stand up to frost.
The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in numerous countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business 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 small scale power generation jobs 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 very budget friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electricity. The jatropha curcas 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 annually. The largest jatropha curcas producing country 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 procedure hence it creates job for numerous poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
