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

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be complimentary draining without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not stand up to frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in numerous countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha curcas cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 households 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 little scale power generation jobs were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system offers 24-hour power supply at the extremely inexpensive rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations 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 minimizes 20 heaps of carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process hence it creates task for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable resource.
