jatropha cultivation
Dear Sir,
Utmost caution is required when you select jatropha variety. You will not be able to sell the produce if the selected plants bear seeds with low oil content. Plant only varieties with high oil content.
The price offered by the companies at present is not sufficient to cover the cultivation expenses and in particular the cost of plucking and drying the seeds. It is very labour intensive.
Treat Jatropha as secondary/boundary or intercrop only.
Regards,
Vishnusankar
