It is seldom used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it periodically used as home separation. It decreases the soil erosion.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be free draining with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting.
