New short term crop in offing.
After struggling several years, at last we are able to source a short term fuel crop in India.
Though its a winter crop presently, scientists are working for its genetical modifications to grow at a area where the temperature is below 30degreeC.
Its a better crop, with a oil content of 40% and an assured harvest of 1000kgs per acre and that too in 85days time.
The cost of the seed is expected to be well below Rs10/kg.and one can guess the cost of the oil.
We are just waiting for the patent holder to launch this crop in India soon.
our honest approach will be to support the small growers to grow this crop more suitable for North India.(Wheat borne lands)
The other datas of this seed will be soon flashed after sowing in our area this season may be in Oct.
Bhadrinath.
