27 Vol. 8 2010 CHAPTER 3 Jatropha cultivationThis CHAPTER brings together available information on the factors required for successful cultivation of Jatropha for oil production. It describes climate and soil requirements to guide site selection, followed by information on best crop establishment and management practices. There is a lack of data on oil yield under different conditions, but the section on seed yields summarizes the information that is available. CLIMATEJ atropha grows in tropical and sub tropical regions, with cultivation limits at 30 N and 35 S. It also grows in lower altitudes of 0-500 metres above sea level (see Figure 6). Jatropha is not sensitive to day length (flowering is independent of latitude) and may flower at any time of the year (Heller, 1996).
