  • Jatropha curcas L. is a vegetable oil plant growing under diverse climates throughout the year. This plant can adapt to very low rainfall areas and marginal lands possessing low soil fertility, and could produce high biomass as a potential cover crop to reduce evaporation [1]. The J. curcas biodiesel has numerous advantages, such as: more environmental friendly due to its better emission, higher combustion efficiency, biodegradable, and renewable. Oil content in J. curcas is rather high which can be used to replace diesel fuel to some extent [2]. thus, the Jatropha biodiesel has the potential to increase an independent fuel supply [3].
