Innovations in Jatropha Plantation: Activities and Challenges in Sarguja, Chhattisgarh

The ICBL initiative in Paharkharua, Sarguja, focuses on the plantation of Jatropha across 4169 hectares, utilizing varied soil and climatic conditions. Key activities include establishing nurseries with quality seeds, best practices in maintenance, intensive cropping, and monitoring through a trained team. Despite progress, challenges such as pest control, flowering uniformity, and skilled labor shortages persist. The initiative aims to enhance yield and support grain security by addressing these obstacles through systematic trials and best agriculture practices.
