jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of prospective benefits. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission discharged from it contaminates the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.
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 includes 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 checked successfully as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it periodically utilized as residential or commercial property demarcation. It lowers the soil erosion.
The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be free draining with no water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a must 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 world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions establishing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is generates 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation projects were developed 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 very budget friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up rural locations with electrical power. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 lots of carbon dioxide each year. The largest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure hence it produces job for many bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
