Agro-technology of Jatropha curcas for diverse environmental conditions in India

► Field trial performance of Jatropha curcas L. (Jatropha) for five years. ► Spacing, pruning, irrigation and fertilizer treatments were standardized. ► Jatropha is yet not competitive with respect to seed and oil yield per unit area. ► Uniform agronomic package is not suitable for all the sites. ► Current findings conclude that Jatropha has no commercial potential so far in India.
