JATROPHA SEEDS & SEEDLINGS

CULTIVATED IN SECOIN FARMS

1. Chinese seeds (marked by PDD1 and TV1): After making physico-chemical analysis in laboratory
of HUT (Hanoi University of Technology), we received good results as followed:

1.1 Weight of seed, seed kernel and seed husk: Average weight of seed (TV1: 0.57g, PDD1:
0.524g) in which seed kernel (TV1: 64%, PDD1: 63%), seed husk (TV1: 36%, PDD1: 37%)
1.2 Moisture of kernel and seed: Moisture of kernel (TV1: 4.63%, PDD1: 1.83%), moisture of seed
(TV1: 7.76%, PDD1: 4.61%)
1.3 Oil content of seed and kernel: Oil content of seed (TV1: 40.61%, PDD1: 42.65%), oil content
of kernel ( TV1: 56.86%, PDD1: 63.33%)

2. Jatropha seeds from Mexico: SILTEPEC (A), SILTEPEC (B), VILLAFLORES and FRONTERA.
We received the following very good results from physico-chemical analysis in laboratory of HUT.

- moisture of seed (SILTEPEC (A): 6.93%, SILTEPEC (B): 7.33%, VILLAFLORES: 7.09%,
FRONTERA: 7.10%)
2.3 Oil content of seed and kernel:
- Oil content of seed (SILTEPEC (A): 43.75%, SILTEPEC (B): 45.77%, VILLAFLORES:
44.79%, FRONTERA: 41.69%)
- Oil content of kernel (SILTEPEC (A): 63.13%, SILTEPEC (B): 63.89%, VILLAFLORES:
65.97%, FRONTERA: 60.61%)
