The jatropha curcas plants require no introduction. They are understood for the multifarious uses they have for the mankind. And this makes them among the most demanded organic plants. And their ever increasing need is difficult to satisfy. Not with the low performance soil they grow on. So, the new ex-vitro jatropha curcas is making rounds nowadays. For those who are new to the field of cultures and proliferations, this is just another elegant name for artificially grown Jatropha. But those who get the ABCs of the biological cultures understand that there is an entire lot of distinction between ex-vitro Jatropha and artificially grown jatropha curcas.

The ex-vitro Jatropha is grown in controlled natural environments and this makes them proliferate and healthily. Right from seeds to shoots, the propagation is carried out with fantastic care and precision. Selecting highest seeds and finest nutrients and supplying best fields: all of these works in tandem for getting an abundant crop. And not just crop, they also supply economic and dietary benefits too. This makes it two times as encouraging trying the ex-vitro jatropha curcas. Every seed that is chosen needs to be disease-free, pest-free, insect-free and infection-free. Healthy parents will have healthy offspring. Thus, the very first step of better Jatropha crop is to have highest seeds, with a heredity comparable to that of the parent plants. This is the fundamental rule governing the development of ex-vitro Jatropha. Then the seeds are grown in the neighboring plantations or green houses, where they are correctly acclimatized to the natural conditions the plant is actually going to grow in, and enabled to become little plantlets. The plantlets should be two months old when they are considered old enough to be re-planted. At this stage, the arrangement of appropriate well drained soil is essential ... something that is taken care of externally by the experimenters as this is vital for an appropriate growth. And the soil nutrients are well-balanced so that the plant gets all that it needs to grow and propagate. The ex-vitro Jatropha gets proper nurturing and nourishment and care at every stage of growth and therefore, a succulent crop can be collected at ideal time.

The plants growing by ex-vitro approach grow quickly receiving an appropriate combination of biotic and non-biotic aspects like sunlight, humidity, soil nutrients and other such elements. They also include fewer issues and are economical and effort-effective ways to grow Jatropha. And the timing of developing the ex-vitro method for jatropha curcas is so perfect. The need for Jatropha has actually seen an exponential increase just recently with the plant being put to numerous usages and, therefore, a strategy that provides a fast growth is more than welcome. With minimum genetic modifications, the plant is closest to the totally naturally grown parent plants. All it varies in is the care and support that it gets and right care can work wonders. Thus, the ex-vitro Jatropha can be put to nearly every use that its natural counterparts can be used in. Now, that definitely sounds pleasing and appealing. And this approval is just the beginning of a long journey.
