Hi
JAtropa cultivation,
* Plant at 2x2 m in 60x60x60 cm pit filled with soil mixed with 2 kg organic manure.
* Drip irrigate, if possible; monsoon, little; winter, fortnightly; summer, frequently.
* Prune main stem upon 1.5 m growth for profuse branching and higher seed yield.
* Spray foliage with growth promoters for higher yield of seeds and oil.
* Ensure maximum exposure to sunlight for enhancing seed yield.
* Use inter-cropping for first 2-3 years for income while Jatropha plants mature.
