CJP’s New Couple Oil Crop Cultivation Technology poised to feed - The couple crop poised to feed the biodiesel industries. The years of continuous research, experiments and trials have given Centre for Jatropha Promotion & Biodiesel (CJP) a big break through in the search for a viable alternative feedstock for biodiesel in combination with Jatropha.
The Jatropha plantations occupy about 50% of the planted land and to utilize the rest of land in sustainable manner we have been experimenting different intercropping options, patterns and agro- technologies.” We have been in search of such an inter-crop for Jatropha which should be oil bearing like Jatropha itself without competing with it for food and water and should be capable of fulfilling Jatropha fertilizer requirement and still maintaining soil fertility” Said the Plant Science Director of CJP Mr. R Sharma and “ Finally we got it “ he added.
