Jatropha Plantation
& Yield :
While Jatropha Curcas plant
starts yielding from 9 - 12 months time, the effective yeild
is obtained only after 2 years time. The yield varies with
the location, agro climatic conditions. Planting materials
and the plantation management practice has a major effect
in the yield obtained from Jatropha Curcas plantation. The
harvested seeds can be either used for oil extraction or
sold to the oil extraction companies. We do provide complete
plantation consultancy services for Corporate companies,
NGOs and individual farmers, according to their requirements.
The bi-products like glycerine
obtained during the conversion of jatropha oil to Bio-diesel
and it is used for purposes like soap making and other glycerine
based by-products. The oil cake obtained during this process
is also useful for bio-manure. Jatropha Curcas has a wide
range of medicinal properties, hence making it a multi-purpose
commercial crop with its major use in bio-diesel production.
