    1. Bio-waste from Jatropha- Utilization as Bio-Fertilizer Dr Shivani Chaturvedi Woman Scientist- NBRI Lucknow Email-shivani.d123@gmail.com Project funded by Department of Science and Technology New Delhi

    2. Mission Jatropha Developing countries like India and China on a high growth path Increasing demand for petroleum products Inflated crude oil bill-inflated import bill-pressure on foreign exchange Search for alternatives Bio-diesel emerging as commercially viable alternative

    3. Bio-diesel More than 80 varieties researched. Key species are Jatropha curcas jrutksr Azadirachta indica uhe Pongamia pinnata djat Madhuca species egqvk Ricinus cummunis vj.M Salvadora oleoides jokdu

    4. Perspective plan for Jatropha 1.3 million ton bio-diesel produced in the world in 2005-06 Growth of production @14% per annum Expected to reach 2.7 million ton by 2010 Energy policies recommend 7.2 million ton production by 2010 Missionary approach needed to bridge this gap

    5. Bio-waste production from Oil extraction process

    6. Bio-waste production

    7. Alternatives for Bio-waste utilization As Manure As Compost in Bio-gas plant As Pesticide and insecticide As animal feed As Bio-Fertilizers

    8. Why Organic fertilizer? Over dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides has created problems in agriculture The Ninth plan document talks of Environmentally sustainable agriculture The Tenth Plan document emphasized the use of bio fertilizers, bio-control agents, organic manures with infrastructure support. Role of organic cultivation following principles of sustainable development is obligatory for Indian agriculture.

    9. Why Organic fertilizer? Iron in organically grown spinach was 97% higher than the non-organic counterpart, and manganese was 99% higher (http://www.oeffa.org/editorscorner.php?sjt=superiorvalue) Organic farming involves natural pesticides-no reduction in nutrient value of vegetable (http://www.shapefit.com/organic-foods.html) Nutritional quality significantly higher in organically grown tomatoes (Pascale, S. De. et al) Organic tomato found to be nutritionally equivalent to four commercial tomatoes- less amount of food per person (http://www.shapefit.com/organic-foods.html)

    10. Jatropha cake as Organic fertilizer

    11. Key Parameters evaluated Morphological parameters Yield Color parameters Nutritional analysis Pesticide/insecticide properties Micronutrient analysis

    12. Experiments yield encouraging results Improved morphological parameters like foliage growth Higher yield Enhanced nutritional quality Pest and disease control

    13. Conclusion Jatropha cake -a potential bio-fertilizer
