小桐子是一种多用途植物，具有许多属性和相当大的潜力。它是一种热带植物，可以生长在低到高降雨量的地区，可以用来开垦土地，作为树篱和/或作为经济作物。因此，种植农作物可以提供就业机会，改善环境，提高农村生活质量。麻风树在各种气候条件下的定植、管理和生产力没有充分的文献记载。这是讨论和知识的差距阐明，特别是其肥料的要求。植物产生许多有用的产品，特别是种子，从中可以提取油;这种油具有与棕榈油相似的特性。种植植物和生产植物油的成本和回报进行了讨论和列表。由于它可以用来代替煤油和柴油，并作为木柴的替代品，因此得到推广，使农村地区能够在做饭、照明和动力燃料方面自给自足。对这一战略进行了审查，发现不可行。制皂用油是最有利可图的用途。得出的结论是，所有市场的麻风树产品应进行调查。如果要实现该植物的全部潜力，就需要对小桐子的种植和管理进行更多的研究，并需要更多关于其所有产品的实际和潜在市场的信息。(C)2000爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
Jatropha curcas is a multipurpose plant with many attributes and considerable potential. It is a tropical plant that can be grown in low to high rainfall areas acid can be used to reclaim land, as a hedge and/or as a commercial crop. Thus, growing it could provide employment, improve the environment and enhance the quality of rural life. The establishment, management and productivity of jatropha under various climatic conditions are not fully documented. This is discussed and the gaps in the knowledge elucidated, especially its fertilizer requirements. The plant produces many useful products, especially the seed, from which oil can be extracted; this oil has similar properties to palm oil. The costs and returns of growing the plant and producing the plant oil are discussed and tabulated. Because it can be used in place of kerosene and diesel and as a substitute for fuelwood, it has been promoted to make rural areas self sufficient in fuels for cooking, lighting and motive power. This strategy is examined and found not viable. Oil for soap making is the most profitable use. It is concluded that all markets for jatropha products should be investigated. If the full potential of the plant is to be realized, much more research is required into the growing and management of Jatropha curcas and more information is needed on the actual and potential markets for all its products.
