jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of prospective benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the carbon dioxide emission emitted from it contaminates the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.
The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi dry region, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel mix up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it occasionally used as residential or commercial property separation. It lowers the soil disintegration.
The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be complimentary draining without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a should 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 endure frost.
The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing 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 organizations developing jatropha curcas cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical power 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 little scale power generation tasks were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the very economical price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electrical power. 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 reduces 20 loads of co2 per year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it produces job for many poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
