It is rarely used as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it sometimes used as residential or commercial property demarcation. It decreases the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be complimentary draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is simple 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 endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha curcas growing. The personal power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 homes are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection costs. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation projects were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the really inexpensive rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electricity. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 heaps of co2 per year. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure hence it develops task for numerous bad rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable Energy.
