| The minister said the Government was ready to help farmers with acquisition of the jatropha seeds and information on how to grow the plant. |
| Over 11.85 lakh hectares, roughly 20 per cent of the wasteland in Madhya Pradesh, has been acquired for jatropha cultivation. |
| Most of the windmill units have started planting jatropha with drip irrigation facility. |
| In April, we acquired a 50 percent stake in a company that grows and processes a plant called jatropha. |
| The main advantage of using jatropha is that during a preparation process called ' esterification ', it generates a by-product, glycerine, that fetches Rs 40 per kg. |
| But the company says it plans to start making biodiesel from a tree-like weed called jatropha. |
