Explanation

Jatropha curcas is the chief crop used for biodiesel production because its seeds contain high oil content (up to 40%) suitable for conversion to biodiesel. It grows on marginal lands without competing with food crops, making it economically and environmentally attractive for biofuel production compared to coconut, mustard, or kikar.
