Descriptif
Jatropha produces flowers mainly at the apex of the branches, and hence the number of branches mostly decides the number of inflorescences. Increasing the number of branches can therefore be considered as an option to improve flowering. The possibility of improving the yield of the seed of jatropha by manipulating the flowering and fruiting behaviour through the addition of specific nutrients are one of the research areas worth pursuing.
Hence experiments were designed in this work to evaluate i. the effect of cowdung application along with different irrigation schedules on biomass and seed production ii. the variation between the application of inorganic and organic manure on the seed production iii. the effect of foliar spray of boron on the seed production iv. energy efficiency v. water footprint
