Jatropha is the plant with lots of possible benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the co2 emission given off 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 development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha 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 given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a conventional medicine disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, 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 avoiding crops from animals and it periodically used as residential or commercial property demarcation. It minimizes the soil erosion.
The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be complimentary draining pipes without any water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a needs to 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 world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. 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 institutions establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 families are linked 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation jobs were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system offers 24-hour power supply at the very budget friendly cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 20 tons of co2 each year. The largest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process hence it produces job for lots of poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
