<br>What is a [Jatropha Curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) Tree?<br>

<br>Jatropha is a perennial shrub or tree. It is drought-resistant and easy to grow in tropical to semi-tropical places. The plant lives for approximately 50 years and might grow nearly 20 feet (6 m.) tall. It has a deep, thick taproot that makes it versatile to poor, dry soil. The leaves are oval, lobed, and deciduous. Overall, the plant is not especially aesthetically appealing, however it does get appealing green cymes of flowerets which develop into a tri-compartment fruit with large 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 info is that it is listed as a weed in Brazil, Fiji, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Salvador. This proves how [adaptable](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) and hardy the plant is even when introduced to a new region. [Jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) growing can produce oil that is an excellent alternative for [current biofuels](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html). Its effectiveness has been challenged, however it is true the plant can [produce seeds](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) with an oil content of 37%. Unfortunately, it is still a part of the food vs. fuel argument, as it requires land that could go into food production. Scientists are trying to establish a "super [Jatropha](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb)" with larger seeds and, for that reason, larger oil yields.<br>

<br>Jatropha usages are rather [limited](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4). Most parts of the plant are poisonous to eat due to the latex sap, but it is utilized as a medical. It is helpful in dealing with snakebite, paralysis, dropsy, and apparently some cancers. The plant might have come from Central to South America, but it has actually been introduced worldwide and [flourishes](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) wild in places like India, Africa, and Asia. Chief amongst [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) utilizes is its possible as a tidy burning fuel to change nonrenewable fuel sources. Plantation growing in specific locations has been attempted, however overall [Jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) [cultivation](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) has actually been a dismal failure. This is because the [production](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) mass of oil can not equal the land use by cropping [Jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/).<br>
