These seeds yield large amount of oil using engine driven expeller.The non-edible oil from these seeds can further be used for making soap and can be used for various pharmaceutical purposes.

CULTIVATION TECHNOLOGY

THE PRODUCTIVE PLANTATION OF JATROPHA CURCAS

The practices being undertaken by the Jatropha growers currently need to be scientifically managed for better growth and production. The growth and yield of Jatropha could be improved through effective management practices.

The key factors that can influence the oil yield of Jatropha Curcas are:

ClimateQuality of the soilIrrigationWeedingUse of fertilizerCrop densityGenotypeUse of pesticideInter-croppingJatropha curcas has limited natural vegetative propagation and is usually propagated by seed. Propagation through seed (sexual propagation) leads to a lot of genetic variability in terms of growth, biomass, seed yield and oil content. Low seed viability and the recalcitrant nature of oil seeds also limit seed propagation. However, clonal techniques can help in overcoming these problems that hinder mass propagation of this tree-borne oilseed species. Vegetative propagation has been achieved by stem cuttings, grafting, budding as well as by air layering techniques.
