First a little information on the shrub, from Wikipedia:
Jatropha curcas, Barbados nut or Physic nut is a perennial poisonous shrub (normally up to 5 m high) belonging to the Euphorbiaceae or spurge family. It is an uncultivated non-food wild-species.
The plant, originating in Central America, whereas it has been spread to other tropical and subtropical countries as well and is mainly grown in Asia and in Africa, where it is known as Pourghère. It is used as a living fence to protect gardens and fields from animals. [4]
It is resistant to a high degree of aridity (it can be planted even in the desert and as such does not compete with food crops.
The seeds contain 30% oil that can be processed to produce a high-quality biodiesel fuel, usable in a standard diesel engine.
Some reports have the seeds containing as much as 47% oil.
Beginning with germination, it is noted on biodiesel.blogdrive.com, that sucessfull germination rates upwards of 95% have been enjoyed in South Texas. The use of fertilizer while attempting germination hinders, rather than aides the seeds to sprout. Fertilization after the fact will increase the plant's growth and general health.
Jatropha is wonderful plant which can absorb co2 very effectively.
Jatropha biodiesel is a perfect substitute for aeroplanes. but the making of Jatropha oil is a tough .
Jatropha plantaions should be enlarged.
Support should be perfect
then only we can see jatropha and powerful glycerines.
