It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it occasionally utilized as home demarcation. It lowers the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha curcas 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 poor soil. 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 on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions developing jatropha growing. The private power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 households are linked 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation jobs were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system offers 24-hour power supply at the really affordable cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate rural areas with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 tons of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha 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 procedure thus it creates job for lots of bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
