INTRODUCTION

Jatropha belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae. It is a multipurpose shrub or small tree of  significant importance because of its several industrial and medicinal uses. The word Jatropha is derived from two Greek words 'Jatros' meaning a 'Doctor' and 'Trophe' meaning nutrition. It grows in a number of climatic zones in tropical and subtropical regions and can be grown in areas of low rainfall and problematic soil. Jatropha oil is a potential  source of biofuel in countries where the resources to import fossil fuel is poor. It can serve as a panacea for energy shortages in the future. Jatropha is otherwise known as  Kattamanakku. In India it is found almost in all states and is generally grown as a live  fence for protection of agricultural fields against damage by livestock as unpalatable to cattle and goats. So, there is no need to protect it from livestock during farming. It is a  small evergreen or soft wooden shrub, 3 to 4 meters high. It can be cultivated in all the tropical & sub-tropical regions.
