jatropha curcas is the plant with many prospective benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission produced from it pollutes the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.
The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi dry region, little care suffices 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 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 motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medication disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as residential or commercial property demarcation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.
The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free draining pipes without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a must 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 planet and it can grow even in . It can not hold up against frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main institutions establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is generates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 families 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) planning 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 small power system offers 24-hour power supply at the really economical cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up rural areas with electrical power. The jatropha 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 tons of carbon dioxide per year. The biggest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure for this reason it creates task for many bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
