JATROPHA CURCAS

Jatropha Curcas is an excellent biofuel crop Jatropha is perennial which can grow in arid

conditions (even deserts) on any kind of ground and does not require irrigation or suffer in droughts

Itrsquos a shrub native of Central America traditionally grown as a hedging fencing etc

English- physic nut purging nut Hindi - Ratanjyot Jangli erandi

Itrsquos a woody crop easy to set up requires only 600 mm of rainfall annually

Seeds production starts in the second year of life it reaches maturity after 5 years old and it remains in constant production for 20 - 25 years long

Optimal yields are obtained from the sixth year and spaced at 2 meter intervals around 2500 plants can be cultivated per hectare

In good conditions it produces 6 Ton seed per hactare

Seeds contains approximately 35 - 40 of non-edible oil high quality as biodiesel

About 3 Kgs of seeds give 1 Kg of oil 105 Kg of oil is required to produce 1 Kg of

Biodeisel

Plantations are long term and the plants have multiple uses

Reclamation of wasteland and degraded land Suitable for preventing soil erosion including jhum

fallows It is not a competitor to any crop rather it

112 compared to 116 to 120 in other states of India Productivity amp Profitability can be increased by

Pruning main stem upon 15m growth for profuse branching and higher seed yield

Foliar spraying with promoters for higher yield of seeds and oil Ensuring maximum exposure to sunlight for enhancing seed

yield

It can be stored just like the petroleum diesel fuel and hence does not require separate infrastructure

The use of bio-diesel in conventional diesel engines results in substantial reduction of un-burnt hydrocarbons carbon monoxide and particulate matters (but NOX about 2 higher)

Biodiesel has almost no sulphur (005) no aromatics and has about 10 built-in oxygen which helps in better combustion

Its higher Cetane number (gt 51 as against 48 in diesel) improves the ignition quality even when blended in the petroleum diesel

Require very little or no engine modifications because bio diesel has properties similar to petroleum diesel fuels

Its higher flash point (gt100 as against 35 in diesel) is good from safety point of view

It is planted in any kind of land with a minimum spacing of 15m x 15m and maximum spacing of 3m x 3m

For single row hedge plantation 2mX2m is fine In 1 hectare about 2500 plants can be grown They will start producing seeds from the 2 year of

plantation The maturity time of the plant is 5 th year and its life

span is of 45 ndash 50 years Every year it will give about 4 ndash 5 tones of seed which

means that we will get about 2 ndash 3 kg of seeds per plant

Currently most of the seeds produced in India are sorted and used for the Plantation purpose or for Crushing for the oil purpose

About 80 of seeds are used for the plantation purpose and rest for the oil extraction

Plantation of Jatropha alone is not economical as there is less income in the first 2 ndash 3 years

So Castor or Soya is intercropped with it in the fallow land to get the income in first 2 ndash 3 years also

Fertilizer application is necessary ldquoIf there is no input there will be no outputrdquo is universally true

Pruning is necessary for optimum yield Sunlight is necessary for higher yield (the old rule)

Jatropha saplings should be planted 3 months before onset of monsoon on the barren land so that it will receive rain water during the rainy season

During hot summer months about 3 ndash 5 liters of water should be provided to each plant once in a week

After two years it will start yielding seeds and fruits

If it is irrigated properly with the required amount of water then it can double the seeds giving capacity

D1 Oils Among its many global jatropha operations it has a joint venture in the Philippines with the Philippine National Oil Company for the operation of a 1000-hectare Jatropha mega-nursery

NRG Chemical Engineering Pte (UK) signed a US$13 billion deal with state-owned Philippine National Oil Co in May 2007 NRG Chemical will own a 70 stake in the joint venture which will involve the construction of a biodiesel refinery two ethanol distilleries and a US$600-million investment in Jatropha plantations that will cover over 1 million hectares mainly on the islands of Palawan and Mindanao

It is a woody crop requires only 600 mm of rainfall annually

It is planted in any kind of land with a minimum spacing of 15m x 15m and maximum spacing of 3m x 3m

For single row hedge plantation 2mX2m is fine In 1 hectare about 2500 plants can be grown They will start producing seeds from the 2 year of

plantation The maturity time of the plant is 5 th year and its life

span is of 45 ndash 50 years Every year it will give about 4 ndash 5 tones of seed which

means that we will get about 2 ndash 3 kg of seeds per plant

Currently most of the seeds produced in India are sorted and used for the Plantation purpose or for Crushing for the oil purpose

About 80 of seeds are used for the plantation purpose and rest for the oil extraction

Plantation of Jatropha alone is not economical as there is less income in the first 2 ndash 3 years

So Castor or Soya is intercropped with it in the fallow land to get the income in first 2 ndash 3 years also

Fertilizer application is necessary ldquoIf there is no input there will be no outputrdquo is universally true

Pruning is necessary for optimum yield Sunlight is necessary for higher yield (the old rule)

Jatropha saplings should be planted 3 months before onset of monsoon on the barren land so that it will receive rain water during the rainy season

During hot summer months about 3 ndash 5 liters of water should be provided to each plant once in a week

After two years it will start yielding seeds and fruits

If it is irrigated properly with the required amount of water then it can double the seeds giving capacity

NRG Chemical Engineering Pte (UK) signed a US$13 billion deal with state-owned Philippine National Oil Co in May 2007 NRG Chemical will own a 70 stake in the joint venture which will involve the construction of a biodiesel refinery two ethanol distilleries and a US$600-million investment in Jatropha plantations that will cover over 1 million hectares mainly on the islands of Palawan and Mindanao

It is a woody crop requires only 600 mm of rainfall annually

It is planted in any kind of land with a minimum spacing of 15m x 15m and maximum spacing of 3m x 3m

For single row hedge plantation 2mX2m is fine In 1 hectare about 2500 plants can be grown They will start producing seeds from the 2 year of

plantation The maturity time of the plant is 5 th year and its life

span is of 45 ndash 50 years Every year it will give about 4 ndash 5 tones of seed which

means that we will get about 2 ndash 3 kg of seeds per plant

Currently most of the seeds produced in India are sorted and used for the Plantation purpose or for Crushing for the oil purpose

About 80 of seeds are used for the plantation purpose and rest for the oil extraction

Plantation of Jatropha alone is not economical as there is less income in the first 2 ndash 3 years

So Castor or Soya is intercropped with it in the fallow land to get the income in first 2 ndash 3 years also

Fertilizer application is necessary ldquoIf there is no input there will be no outputrdquo is universally true

Pruning is necessary for optimum yield Sunlight is necessary for higher yield (the old rule)

Jatropha saplings should be planted 3 months before onset of monsoon on the barren land so that it will receive rain water during the rainy season

During hot summer months about 3 ndash 5 liters of water should be provided to each plant once in a week

After two years it will start yielding seeds and fruits

If it is irrigated properly with the required amount of water then it can double the seeds giving capacity

D1 Oils Among its many global jatropha operations it has a joint venture in the Philippines with the Philippine National Oil Company for the operation of a 1000-hectare Jatropha mega-nursery

NRG Chemical Engineering Pte (UK) signed a US$13 billion deal with state-owned Philippine National Oil Co in May 2007 NRG Chemical will own a 70 stake in the joint venture which will involve the construction of a biodiesel refinery two ethanol distilleries and a US$600-million investment in Jatropha plantations that will cover over 1 million hectares mainly on the islands of Palawan and Mindanao

It is a woody crop requires only 600 mm of rainfall annually

It is planted in any kind of land with a minimum spacing of 15m x 15m and maximum spacing of 3m x 3m

For single row hedge plantation 2mX2m is fine In 1 hectare about 2500 plants can be grown They will start producing seeds from the 2 year of

plantation The maturity time of the plant is 5 th year and its life

span is of 45 ndash 50 years Every year it will give about 4 ndash 5 tones of seed which

means that we will get about 2 ndash 3 kg of seeds per plant

Currently most of the seeds produced in India are sorted and used for the Plantation purpose or for Crushing for the oil purpose

About 80 of seeds are used for the plantation purpose and rest for the oil extraction

Plantation of Jatropha alone is not economical as there is less income in the first 2 ndash 3 years

So Castor or Soya is intercropped with it in the fallow land to get the income in first 2 ndash 3 years also

Fertilizer application is necessary ldquoIf there is no input there will be no outputrdquo is universally true

Pruning is necessary for optimum yield Sunlight is necessary for higher yield (the old rule)

Jatropha saplings should be planted 3 months before onset of monsoon on the barren land so that it will receive rain water during the rainy season

During hot summer months about 3 ndash 5 liters of water should be provided to each plant once in a week

After two years it will start yielding seeds and fruits

If it is irrigated properly with the required amount of water then it can double the seeds giving capacity

Petroleum availability finite - Bio-diesel from renewable sources ensures energy security of the country

Reduction in import of petroleum and thus trade deficit Generates employment opportunities for rural masses

thereby providing them livelihood support Plantation of oil yielding plants such as Jatropha Curcas

for bio-diesel will result in greening of waste amp fallow lands It thus helps in Eco-restoration drought proofing and environmental security

Helps in achieving Bharat Stage II emission norms from April 1rsquo2005 and Euro III equivalent norms from April 1rsquo2010 in the entire country as targeted in Auto Fuel Policy Report

Easy to establish grows quickly hardy and requires minimum care

It grows in flood-free wasteland In fertile land it gives higher yields

Plantation of Jatropha in rural areas helps inEmployment generationSources of alternate energyIncreased earnings

Plantations are long term and the plants have multiple uses

Reclamation of wasteland and degraded land Suitable for preventing soil erosion including jhum

fallows It is not a competitor to any crop rather it

increases yield

The micorrhizal value in Jatropha roots helps in getting phosphates from soil ndash a boon for acidic soil

Improves soil fertility by fallen leaves throughout their life cycle Possesses medicinal as well as other multiple uses Generates net income for 30-35 years Indian

Rs10000acreyear approx from 4th year onwards Female male ratio of flower which is indicative of productivity is

112 compared to 116 to 120 in other states of India Productivity amp Profitability can be increased by

Pruning main stem upon 15m growth for profuse branching and higher seed yield

Foliar spraying with promoters for higher yield of seeds and oil Ensuring maximum exposure to sunlight for enhancing seed

yield

It can be stored just like the petroleum diesel fuel and hence does not require separate infrastructure

The use of bio-diesel in conventional diesel engines results in substantial reduction of un-burnt hydrocarbons carbon monoxide and particulate matters (but NOX about 2 higher)

Biodiesel has almost no sulphur (005) no aromatics and has about 10 built-in oxygen which helps in better combustion

Its higher Cetane number (gt 51 as against 48 in diesel) improves the ignition quality even when blended in the petroleum diesel

Require very little or no engine modifications because bio diesel has properties similar to petroleum diesel fuels

Its higher flash point (gt100 as against 35 in diesel) is good from safety point of view

Petroleum availability finite - Bio-diesel from renewable sources ensures energy security of the country

Reduction in import of petroleum and thus trade deficit Generates employment opportunities for rural masses

thereby providing them livelihood support Plantation of oil yielding plants such as Jatropha Curcas

for bio-diesel will result in greening of waste amp fallow lands It thus helps in Eco-restoration drought proofing and environmental security

Helps in achieving Bharat Stage II emission norms from April 1rsquo2005 and Euro III equivalent norms from April 1rsquo2010 in the entire country as targeted in Auto Fuel Policy Report

Easy to establish grows quickly hardy and requires minimum care

It grows in flood-free wasteland In fertile land it gives higher yields

Plantation of Jatropha in rural areas helps inEmployment generationSources of alternate energyIncreased earnings

Plantations are long term and the plants have multiple uses

Reclamation of wasteland and degraded land Suitable for preventing soil erosion including jhum

fallows It is not a competitor to any crop rather it

increases yield

The micorrhizal value in Jatropha roots helps in getting phosphates from soil ndash a boon for acidic soil

Improves soil fertility by fallen leaves throughout their life cycle Possesses medicinal as well as other multiple uses Generates net income for 30-35 years Indian

Rs10000acreyear approx from 4th year onwards Female male ratio of flower which is indicative of productivity is

112 compared to 116 to 120 in other states of India Productivity amp Profitability can be increased by

Pruning main stem upon 15m growth for profuse branching and higher seed yield

Foliar spraying with promoters for higher yield of seeds and oil Ensuring maximum exposure to sunlight for enhancing seed

yield

It can be stored just like the petroleum diesel fuel and hence does not require separate infrastructure

The use of bio-diesel in conventional diesel engines results in substantial reduction of un-burnt hydrocarbons carbon monoxide and particulate matters (but NOX about 2 higher)

Biodiesel has almost no sulphur (005) no aromatics and has about 10 built-in oxygen which helps in better combustion

Its higher Cetane number (gt 51 as against 48 in diesel) improves the ignition quality even when blended in the petroleum diesel

Require very little or no engine modifications because bio diesel has properties similar to petroleum diesel fuels

Its higher flash point (gt100 as against 35 in diesel) is good from safety point of view

Mission Biofuels (Australia) Hired Agro Diesel of India to manage a 100000-heactare Jatropha plantation and a contract farming network in India to feed its Malaysian and Chinese biodiesel refineries

D1 Oils Among its many global jatropha operations it has a joint venture in the Philippines with the Philippine National Oil Company for the operation of a 1000-hectare Jatropha mega-nursery

NRG Chemical Engineering Pte (UK) signed a US$13 billion deal with state-owned Philippine National Oil Co in May 2007 NRG Chemical will own a 70 stake in the joint venture which will involve the construction of a biodiesel refinery two ethanol distilleries and a US$600-million investment in Jatropha plantations that will cover over 1 million hectares mainly on the islands of Palawan and Mindanao

It is a woody crop requires only 600 mm of rainfall annually

It is planted in any kind of land with a minimum spacing of 15m x 15m and maximum spacing of 3m x 3m

For single row hedge plantation 2mX2m is fine In 1 hectare about 2500 plants can be grown They will start producing seeds from the 2 year of

plantation The maturity time of the plant is 5 th year and its life

span is of 45 ndash 50 years Every year it will give about 4 ndash 5 tones of seed which

means that we will get about 2 ndash 3 kg of seeds per plant

Currently most of the seeds produced in India are sorted and used for the Plantation purpose or for Crushing for the oil purpose

About 80 of seeds are used for the plantation purpose and rest for the oil extraction

Plantation of Jatropha alone is not economical as there is less income in the first 2 ndash 3 years

So Castor or Soya is intercropped with it in the fallow land to get the income in first 2 ndash 3 years also

Fertilizer application is necessary ldquoIf there is no input there will be no outputrdquo is universally true

Pruning is necessary for optimum yield Sunlight is necessary for higher yield (the old rule)

Jatropha saplings should be planted 3 months before onset of monsoon on the barren land so that it will receive rain water during the rainy season

During hot summer months about 3 ndash 5 liters of water should be provided to each plant once in a week

After two years it will start yielding seeds and fruits

If it is irrigated properly with the required amount of water then it can double the seeds giving capacity

means that we will get about 2 ndash 3 kg of seeds per plant

Currently most of the seeds produced in India are sorted and used for the Plantation purpose or for Crushing for the oil purpose

About 80 of seeds are used for the plantation purpose and rest for the oil extraction

Pruning is necessary for optimum yield Sunlight is necessary for higher yield (the old rule)

Jatropha saplings should be planted 3 months before onset of monsoon on the barren land so that it will receive rain water during the rainy season

During hot summer months about 3 ndash 5 liters of water should be provided to each plant once in a week

After two years it will start yielding seeds and fruits

It can be stored just like the petroleum diesel fuel and hence does not require separate infrastructure

The use of bio-diesel in conventional diesel engines results in substantial reduction of un-burnt hydrocarbons carbon monoxide and particulate matters (but NOX about 2 higher)

Biodiesel has almost no sulphur (005) no aromatics and has about 10 built-in oxygen which helps in better combustion

Its higher Cetane number (gt 51 as against 48 in diesel) improves the ignition quality even when blended in the petroleum diesel

Require very little or no engine modifications because bio diesel has properties similar to petroleum diesel fuels

Its higher flash point (gt100 as against 35 in diesel) is good from safety point of view

Mission Biofuels (Australia) Hired Agro Diesel of India to manage a 100000-heactare Jatropha plantation and a contract farming network in India to feed its Malaysian and Chinese biodiesel refineries

D1 Oils Among its many global jatropha operations it has a joint venture in the Philippines with the Philippine National Oil Company for the operation of a 1000-hectare Jatropha mega-nursery

NRG Chemical Engineering Pte (UK) signed a US$13 billion deal with state-owned Philippine National Oil Co in May 2007 NRG Chemical will own a 70 stake in the joint venture which will involve the construction of a biodiesel refinery two ethanol distilleries and a US$600-million investment in Jatropha plantations that will cover over 1 million hectares mainly on the islands of Palawan and Mindanao

It is a woody crop requires only 600 mm of rainfall annually

It is planted in any kind of land with a minimum spacing of 15m x 15m and maximum spacing of 3m x 3m

For single row hedge plantation 2mX2m is fine In 1 hectare about 2500 plants can be grown They will start producing seeds from the 2 year of

plantation The maturity time of the plant is 5 th year and its life

span is of 45 ndash 50 years Every year it will give about 4 ndash 5 tones of seed which

means that we will get about 2 ndash 3 kg of seeds per plant

Currently most of the seeds produced in India are sorted and used for the Plantation purpose or for Crushing for the oil purpose

About 80 of seeds are used for the plantation purpose and rest for the oil extraction

Plantation of Jatropha alone is not economical as there is less income in the first 2 ndash 3 years

So Castor or Soya is intercropped with it in the fallow land to get the income in first 2 ndash 3 years also

Fertilizer application is necessary ldquoIf there is no input there will be no outputrdquo is universally true

Pruning is necessary for optimum yield Sunlight is necessary for higher yield (the old rule)

Jatropha saplings should be planted 3 months before onset of monsoon on the barren land so that it will receive rain water during the rainy season

During hot summer months about 3 ndash 5 liters of water should be provided to each plant once in a week

After two years it will start yielding seeds and fruits

If it is irrigated properly with the required amount of water then it can double the seeds giving capacity

British Petroleum (UK) Plans to establish 100000 hectares of jatropha plantations in Indonesia to feed the 350000-tonne-per-year biodiesel refinery that it is building in the country

Van Der Horst Corporation (Singapore) Building a 200000-tpy biodiesel plant in Juron Island in Singapore that will eventually be supplied with jatropha from plantations it operates in Cambodia and China and possible new plantations in India Laos and Burma

Mission Biofuels (Australia) Hired Agro Diesel of India to manage a 100000-heactare Jatropha plantation and a contract farming network in India to feed its Malaysian and Chinese biodiesel refineries

D1 Oils Among its many global jatropha operations it has a joint venture in the Philippines with the Philippine National Oil Company for the operation of a 1000-hectare Jatropha mega-nursery

NRG Chemical Engineering Pte (UK) signed a US$13 billion deal with state-owned Philippine National Oil Co in May 2007 NRG Chemical will own a 70 stake in the joint venture which will involve the construction of a biodiesel refinery two ethanol distilleries and a US$600-million investment in Jatropha plantations that will cover over 1 million hectares mainly on the islands of Palawan and Mindanao

It is a woody crop requires only 600 mm of rainfall annually

It is planted in any kind of land with a minimum spacing of 15m x 15m and maximum spacing of 3m x 3m

For single row hedge plantation 2mX2m is fine In 1 hectare about 2500 plants can be grown They will start producing seeds from the 2 year of

plantation The maturity time of the plant is 5 th year and its life

span is of 45 ndash 50 years Every year it will give about 4 ndash 5 tones of seed which

means that we will get about 2 ndash 3 kg of seeds per plant

Currently most of the seeds produced in India are sorted and used for the Plantation purpose or for Crushing for the oil purpose

About 80 of seeds are used for the plantation purpose and rest for the oil extraction

Plantation of Jatropha alone is not economical as there is less income in the first 2 ndash 3 years

So Castor or Soya is intercropped with it in the fallow land to get the income in first 2 ndash 3 years also

Fertilizer application is necessary ldquoIf there is no input there will be no outputrdquo is universally true

Pruning is necessary for optimum yield Sunlight is necessary for higher yield (the old rule)

Jatropha saplings should be planted 3 months before onset of monsoon on the barren land so that it will receive rain water during the rainy season

During hot summer months about 3 ndash 5 liters of water should be provided to each plant once in a week

After two years it will start yielding seeds and fruits

If it is irrigated properly with the required amount of water then it can double the seeds giving capacity

Non-Forest Areas proposed for Jatropha Plantation 200 districts in 19 potential states have been identified

on the basis of availability of wasteland rural poverty ratio below poverty line (BPL) census and agro-climatic conditions suitable for jatropha cultivation

Each district will be treated as a block and under each block 15000 ha jatropha plantation will be undertaken through farmers (BPL)

Proposed to provide green coverage to about 3 Million ha of wasteland through plantation of jatropha in 200 identified districts over a period of 3 years

Currently most of the seeds produced in India are sorted and used for the Plantation purpose or for Crushing for the oil purpose

About 80 of seeds are used for the plantation purpose and rest for the oil extraction

Plantation of Jatropha alone is not economical as there is less income in the first 2 ndash 3 years

So Castor or Soya is intercropped with it in the fallow land to get the income in first 2 ndash 3 years also

Fertilizer application is necessary ldquoIf there is no input there will be no outputrdquo is universally true

Pruning is necessary for optimum yield Sunlight is necessary for higher yield (the old rule)

Jatropha saplings should be planted 3 months before onset of monsoon on the barren land so that it will receive rain water during the rainy season

During hot summer months about 3 ndash 5 liters of water should be provided to each plant once in a week

After two years it will start yielding seeds and fruits

If it is irrigated properly with the required amount of water then it can double the seeds giving capacity
