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 region. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a conventional medicine disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it periodically utilized as residential or commercial property separation. It reduces the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be totally free draining pipes with no 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 supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not endure frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in numerous nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha curcas cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 families are connected 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 tasks were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the extremely budget-friendly price 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 curcas is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha curcas producing country 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 intensive procedure thus it produces task for many bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
