It can be cultivated any where up to a height of 3600 metres above sea level and it's commercial cultivation is recommended in rain-fed/drought-prone area where the seed yield as well as oil content is comparatively higher than in irrigated conditions. Jetropha oil is a real and cost effective substitute of Diesel oil. Due to it’s medicinal values, it is known as jetropha (Jet + trophe = Doctor + nutrition).

Bio-diesel is the name of a clean burning alternative fuel, produced from domestic, renewable resources such as soybeans, sunflowers, canola, waste cooking oil, or animal fats. Bio-diesel contains no petroleum, but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a Bio-diesel blend. It can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines or oil-fired boilers or furnaces with little or no modifications. Bio-diesel is simple to use, biodegradable, nontoxic, and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics.
