It is ridiculous that the palm oil lobby criticizes Jatropha Curcas : everybody involved in biofuels knows that it is toxic and not suitable for human consumption. Only children having eaten the nuts have become ill of it.
Jatropha Curcas biofuel offers the advantage of growing on degraded and dry soils not suitable for agriculture and is - unlike biofuel based on palm oil - not in competition with the food security of human beings.
It somebody has degraded land in an area without frost and wants to try a pilote Jatropha plantation please contact me and as representative of Terracottem soil conditioner I will inform you how you can stimulate the survival and the growth rate of the young Jatropha seedlings in difficult soils.
