In India, Mission Biofuels India Pvt Ltd has emerged as the leader in the large scale development of Jatropha Curcas.

A dedicated team of scientists are working exclusively on devising techniques that can be readily implemented on the fields.

• Establishment of Hi-tech Jatropha Nurseries for production of Quality Planting Materials ("QPM") for plantations.

• Development of elite lines, varieties and hybrid for agro-economically important traits of Jatropha.

• Jatropha seed treatments for faster establishment and to reduce the gestation period.

• Better management of Jatropha Plantation through well designed Agronomic practices including:
  
  • Pre-transplantation, transplantation and post-transplantation practices
  • Plant protection practices and
  • Enhancing the productivity of the standing plantation
  
  
• Better utilisation of key nutrients in plantations for harvesting higher seed yield with more oil content.

• Tailoring ideal plant architecture to reduce the gestation period and to harvest the higher seed yield.

• Physiological, biochemical and molecular aspects of drought stress responses of Jatropha plants.

• Organising training programs

• Development of integrated Jatropha Plant Protection Practices to reduce the yield losses due to infestation of biotic factors.

• Identification of the weeds and experience professional for effective weed management in nurseries and plantations through:
  • Agronomic practices
  • Herbicides
  • Integrated practices
