jatropha curcas is the plant with numerous possible benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission discharged 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 arid area, little care is enough for its growth. 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 blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medication 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 rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it sometimes used as residential or commercial property separation. It reduces the soil disintegration.
The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be complimentary draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha curcas is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not endure frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in numerous countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha curcas cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 homes are linked 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) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation tasks were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the really economical price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up rural areas with electricity. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it produces task for many bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
