Dear Pankaj, Thanks for the sharing lot of information along with photos of Jatropha to the group. I am working in Mission Biofuels India Pvt, Mumbai and we have been working on Jatropha for the past three years in five states (TN, KRN, MH, MP and OR) we had tough time in convincing the farmers to take up Jatropha on their waste and barren lands and asking them to do Agronomic practices in the Jatropha fields to improve the Jatropha plants for optimum seed yield. Without minimum Agronomic practices Jatropha will grow but it will not give fruits. I am here with attaching few photos of our plantations photos.   Dr. K. Chalapathy Reddy     --- On Sun, 7/26/09, Pankaj Oudhia <pankajoudhia@ gmail.com> wrote: From: Pankaj Oudhia <pankajoudhia@ gmail.com> Subject: [jatropha] Status of Jatropha plantations in Indian state Chhattisgarh.

The condition of almost all plantations is very poor. Please see it by your eyes. http://pick14. pick.uga. edu/mp/20p? see=I_PAO6862& res=640 http://pick14. pick.uga. edu/mp/20p? see=I_PAO6861& res=640 http://pick14. pick.uga. edu/mp/20p? see=I_PAO6864& res=640 http://pick14. pick.uga. edu/mp/20p? see=I_PAO6872& res=640 Pankaj Oudhia
