The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be free draining pipes with no water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting.
