The jatropha curcas plants require no introduction. They are known for the many usages they have for the mankind. And this makes them among the most demanded natural plants. And their ever increasing demand is not easy to satisfy. Not with the low performance 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 expensive name for synthetically grown Jatropha. But those who get the ABCs of the biological cultures understand that there is a lot of difference in between ex-vitro jatropha curcas and synthetically grown jatropha curcas.
The ex-vitro Jatropha is grown in controlled natural surroundings and this makes them proliferate and healthily. Right from seeds to shoots, the propagation is performed with excellent care and precision. Selecting highest quality seeds and best nutrients and providing best fields: all of these operate in tandem for getting a rich crop. And not simply crop, they also and dietary benefits too. This makes it twice as motivating attempting the ex-vitro Jatropha. Every seed that is picked has to be disease-free, pest-free, insect-free and infection-free. Healthy moms and dads will have healthy offspring. Thus, the really first step of better Jatropha crop is to have highest quality seeds, with a hereditary makeup comparable to that of the parent plants. This is the fundamental rule governing the growth of ex-vitro Jatropha. Then the seeds are grown in the neighboring plantations or green houses, where they are properly acclimatized to the natural conditions the plant is really going to grow in, and allowed to become little plantlets. The plantlets must be two months old when they are considered old enough to be re-planted. At this phase, the arrangement of proper well drained pipes soil is necessary ... something that is taken care of externally by the experimenters as this is important for a proper development. And the soil nutrients are healthy so that the plant receives all that it requires to grow and propagate. The ex-vitro jatropha curcas gets proper nurturing and nutrition and care at every phase of growth and therefore, a succulent crop can be gathered at correct time.
The plants growing by ex-vitro technique grow quickly receiving a proper mix of biotic and non-biotic aspects like sunlight, humidity, soil nutrients and other such factors. They also include less issues and are affordable and effort-effective ways to grow jatropha curcas. And the timing of establishing the ex-vitro strategy for Jatropha is so perfect. The need for Jatropha has seen a rapid increase recently with the plant being put to multiple uses and, therefore, a strategy that supplies a rapid growth is more than welcome. With minimum genetic changes, the plant is closest to the completely naturally grown parent plants. All it differs in is the care and support that it gets and best care can work wonders. Thus, the ex-vitro Jatropha can be put to nearly every usage that its natural counterparts can be used in. Now, that certainly sounds pleasing and promising. And this approval is simply the beginning of a long journey.
