<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) ([Jatropha](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) curcas) was when touted as the [brand-new wunderkind](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) plant for [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm). What is a [Jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) tree? The tree or bush grows in any type of soil at a fast rate, is hazardous, and produces fuel suitable for diesel engines.

<br>What is a [Jatropha Curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) Tree?<br>
<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) is a perennial shrub or tree. It is [drought-resistant](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) and simple to grow in tropical to . The plant lives for approximately 50 years and might grow almost 20 feet (6 m.) tall. It has a deep, thick taproot that makes it adaptable to bad, dry soil. The leaves are oval, lobed, and deciduous. Overall, the plant is not particularly [aesthetically](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) enticing, however it does get attractive green cymes of flowerets which turn into a tri-compartment fruit with big black seeds. These big black seeds are the reason for all the hullaballoo, since they are high in burnable oil. An interesting piece of [Jatropha tree](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) info is that it is listed as a weed in Brazil, Fiji, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Salvador. This shows how adaptable and hardy the plant is even when introduced to a new region. [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) growing can produce oil that is an excellent replacement for [current biofuels](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb). Its usefulness has 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 debate, as it needs land that might enter into food production. Scientists are trying to develop a "extremely [Jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/)" with larger seeds and, for that reason, larger oil yields.<br>
<br>[Jatropha Curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) Cultivation<br>
<br>Jatropha usages are rather restricted. Most parts of the plant are harmful to eat due to the latex sap, but it is used as a medical. It is useful in [treating](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) snakebite, paralysis, dropsy, and apparently some cancers. The plant may have originated in Central to South America, but it has been introduced worldwide and flourishes wild in locations like India, Africa, and Asia. Chief among Jatropha utilizes is its potential as a tidy burning fuel to replace fossil fuels. Plantation cultivation in specific areas has been tried, but general [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) cultivation has been a dismal failure. This is due to the fact that the production mass of oil can not equal the land usage by cropping [Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html).<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) Plant Care and Growth<br>
<br>The plant is simple to grow from cuttings or seed. Cuttings result in quicker maturity and quicker seed production. It chooses warm environments, but it can endure a [light frost](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/). The deep taproot makes it drought-tolerant, although the very best development will be accomplished with additional watering occasionally. It does not have any major disease or bug problems in its natural areas. It might be pruned, but flowers and fruit form on terminal growth, so it is best to wait up until after blooming. No other Jatropha plant care is necessary. This plant works as a hedge or living fence, or just as an ornamental stand-alone specimen.<br>
