It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it occasionally used as property separation. It decreases the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be totally free draining without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is easy 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 establishing in many nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha curcas cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 families are linked 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) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation jobs were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the extremely economical cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electrical power. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 lots of carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process hence it develops job for numerous bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
