Water retention method part of complete project?
if jatropha cultivation is commercially viable/ competitive compared with other crops/ food crops given the fact that prices for biodiesel are around IRs. 25 per litre.
My ref: IENG 373111, MIET 505330 registration with IET in GB, jatropha shrub.
Dear Sir,
Can you tell me please if you use a shredder for making mulch from the twigs and prunings from the branches of the (jatropha) shrub?
What is the make and design of the shredder that you know (if any)?
I noted that the mulch is used for water retention when spread around the base of the shrub and subsequently it turns into compost to enrich the soil of the plant roots.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you, kind regards,
Johan Schiphorst
