<br>What is a [Jatropha Curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) Tree?<br>
<br>Jatropha is a seasonal shrub or tree. It is drought-resistant and simple to grow in tropical to semi-tropical places. The plant lives for as much as 50 years and might grow nearly 20 feet (6 m.) high. It has a deep, thick taproot which makes it [versatile](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) to bad, dry soil. The leaves are oval, lobed, and deciduous. Overall, the plant is not particularly visually enticing, however it does get attractive green cymes of [flowerets](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) which become a tri-compartment fruit with big black seeds. These big black seeds are the reason for all the hullaballoo, due to the fact that they are high in burnable oil. A fascinating piece of [Jatropha tree](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) information is that it is noted as a weed in Brazil, Fiji, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Salvador. This shows how versatile and sturdy the plant is even when introduced to a new area. [Jatropha curcas](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4) growing can produce oil that is a good replacement for existing biofuels. Its usefulness has actually been challenged, but it holds true the plant can produce seeds with an oil content of 37%. Unfortunately, it is still a part of the food vs. fuel argument, as it requires land that might enter into food production. Scientists are attempting to develop a "extremely [Jatropha](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048)" with larger seeds and, for that reason, bigger oil yields.<br>
<br>[Jatropha Curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) Cultivation<br>
<br>Jatropha usages are rather restricted. Most parts of the plant are toxic to eat due to the latex sap, however it is utilized as a medical. It is [beneficial](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) in [dealing](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) with snakebite, paralysis, dropsy, and obviously some cancers. The plant may have come from Central to South America, however it has been presented worldwide and flourishes wild in places like India, Africa, and Asia. Chief among [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) utilizes is its possible as a clean burning fuel to replace fossil fuels. Plantation growing in specific areas has actually been attempted, but general [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) has been a depressing failure. This is due to the fact that the production mass of oil can not equal the land use by cropping Jatropha.<br>
<br>Jatropha Plant Care and Growth<br>
<br>The plant is easy to grow from cuttings or seed. Cuttings lead to faster maturity and quicker seed production. It chooses warm environments, however it can survive a light frost. The deep taproot makes it drought-tolerant, although the finest development will be accomplished with [extra watering](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) periodically. It does not have any major disease or pest concerns in its natural regions. It may be pruned, but flowers and fruit type on terminal development, so it is best to wait until after blooming. No other [Jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) plant care is needed. This plant works as a hedge or living fence, or just as an [ornamental stand-alone](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) specimen.<br>
