The jatropha curcas plants need no intro. They are understood for the numerous uses they have for the humanity. And this makes them among the most searched for organic plants. And their ever increasing demand is hard to satisfy. Not with the low efficiency soil they grow on. So, the new ex-vitro Jatropha is making rounds nowadays. For those who are new to the field of cultures and proliferations, this is just another fancy name for artificially grown jatropha curcas. But those who get the ABCs of the biological cultures understand that there is a whole lot of distinction between ex-vitro Jatropha and artificially grown Jatropha.

The ex-vitro jatropha curcas is grown in controlled natural environments and this makes them grow quickly and healthily. Right from seeds to shoots, the proliferation is performed with terrific care and accuracy. Selecting highest seeds and best nutrients and providing best fields: all of these works in tandem for getting an abundant crop. And not just crop, they also provide financial and dietary advantages too. This makes it twice as encouraging attempting the ex-vitro jatropha curcas. Every seed that is chosen has to be disease-free, pest-free, insect-free and infection-free. Healthy parents will have healthy offspring. Thus, the very primary step of better Jatropha crop is to have highest seeds, with a heredity similar to that of the moms and dad plants. This is the standard guideline governing the growth of ex-vitro jatropha curcas. Then the seeds are grown in the neighboring plantations or green homes, where they are appropriately acclimatized to the natural conditions the plant is actually going to grow in, and enabled to grow into small plantlets. The plantlets need to be 2 months old when they are considered old enough to be re-planted. At this phase, the arrangement of correct well drained soil is important ... something that is looked after externally by the experimenters as this is essential for a correct development. And the soil nutrients are well-balanced so that the plant receives all that it needs to grow and propagate. The ex-vitro Jatropha gets proper nurturing and nutrition and care at every phase of growth and therefore, a succulent crop can be collected at correct time.

The plants growing by ex-vitro approach grow quickly receiving an appropriate mix of biotic and non-biotic aspects like sunlight, humidity, soil nutrients and other such elements. They also involve fewer complications and are cost-effective and effort-effective means to grow jatropha curcas. And the timing of establishing the ex-vitro method for Jatropha is so perfect. The demand for jatropha curcas has actually seen a rapid boost just recently with the plant being put to multiple usages and, for that reason, a technique that offers a fast development is more than welcome. With minimum genetic alterations, the plant is closest to the totally naturally grown parent plants. All it varies in is the care and nurture that it receives and right care can work marvels. Thus, the ex-vitro jatropha curcas can be put to almost every use that its natural equivalents can be used in. Now, that certainly sounds pleasing and promising. And this acceptance is simply the start of a long journey.
