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 area. The jatropha curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a 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 hardly ever used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it occasionally used as home demarcation. It lowers the soil disintegration.


The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be complimentary draining with no water logging. But adequate 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 bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.


The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in numerous nations. Mali is considered to be among the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 homes 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation projects were established 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 budget-friendly rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate 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 lots of carbon dioxide annually. 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 biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process hence it creates job for many poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
