National security nutritional security environmental security and energy security are inter related and energy security at present has become a national issue. Exploitation of fossil fuel a sector of energy resources has been increasing day by day due to mechanized life and it has threatened not only the environmental hazard but also it has opened eyes for exploration of alternate source of fuel growing as our food feed fibres and fire woods are grown by farmers. Since country has huge waste land and manpower so production of non edible oil through plantation of Jatropha and its transformation into bio diesel is one of the best option as production of edible oil in cultivated land is insufficient to meet the requirement of present population. Countries like Germany France and Italy are confidentially depending on bio diesel but from edible oil produced by rapeseed and sunflower. Few countries are moving towards Jatropha cultivation however neither a suitable variety nor its standardized agro technology is so far available. Keeping in view this book is compiled based on literature personal communication experiments papers and presentation etc. This book is lucidly written and contains 37 chapters 33 tables and 56 figures for better understanding of readers. 140 pp.
