It is seldom utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically used as home separation. It minimizes the soil erosion.

The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free draining pipes without any water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It offers oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 families are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses.

The little scale power generation projects were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the very cost effective price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil lights up rural areas with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 lots of co2 per year. The largest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin . The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it creates job for many bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
