It is hardly ever used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it occasionally used as property demarcation. It reduces the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be complimentary draining with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha curcas 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 stand up to frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in lots of nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations . At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha growing. The private power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses.

The small scale power generation projects were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system provides 24-hour power supply at the extremely inexpensive price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural areas with electrical energy. 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 decreases 20 lots of carbon dioxide each year. The largest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process for this reason it produces task for lots of bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
