jatropha curcas is the plant with numerous prospective benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission released from it pollutes the atmosphere, 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 is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha curcas seed contains 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 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 conventional medicine disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as residential or commercial property demarcation. It lowers the soil erosion.
The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free 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 supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not withstand frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many nations. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions developing jatropha growing. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 families 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 little scale power generation jobs 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 extremely cost effective cost 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 rural locations with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of carbon dioxide each year. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure for this reason it develops task for numerous bad rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable resource.
