The alternate source of energy that is renewable, safe and non-polluting assumes top priority in view of the shrinking "National Fossil Fuel". More than 100 different tree born oilseeds are available in India as well as in the world, which can be exploited for extraction of oil. At present, increasing interest has been arising across the country towards the utility of non-edible oil from Jatropha, Sweet Sorghum and Sugar Beet for biofuels production. We believe that there are many scientists, farmer and NGOs involved in research on the major energy crops viz., Jatropha, Sweet Sorghum and Sugar Beet. The main interest is to know the cultivation of crops, bio-diesel and ethanol production. Although many people who talked about energy crops theoretically, but the practical exposure seems to be scanty. In this book, we are concerned with the practical exposure to the researchers, students and farmers. Our aim is to consider the theoretical principles and experimental results for better understanding and implications of changes in management of energy crops and bio fuel production. The approaches are applicable in all climatic zones of India and similar countries. We try to draw the best examples, from a range of locations. Although our focus is pointed towards Jatropha and bio-diesel production, we also emphasized the importance of Sweet Sorghum and Sugar Beet on cultivation as well as ethanol production. This book can therefore be considered as a book on the application of practical knowledge in energy crops in general, but Jatropha and biodiesel production in particular.

"Tree improvement is achieved by clonal selection due to improvements in vegetative propagation techniques. The clonal propagation offers higher genetic gain than that is possible with seed propagation. The clonal technology facilitates rapid selection of outstanding genotypes from the clonal stocks of candidate trees for the exploitation of heterosis. The literature available on vegetative propagation is very extensive and not easily accessible. Hence this book attempts to consolidate the different aspects involved in the vegetative propagation of trees. The importance of vegetative propagation for tree improvement is discussed in the chapter 1. The knowledge of genetic variation of the forest populations is important in determining the efficiency of different selection procedures and the criteria for the selection of superior tree is discussed in the chapter 2. The production of quality seedlings for better survival and growth after transplanting ultimately required better potting media and the chapter 3 gives meticulous information about this aspect. The function and practical application of different plant growth regulators is discussed in chapter 4. Production of large quantities of superior propagules in the great thrust in production forestry and hence the various propagation methods, structures and hardwares for accelerating the process of production of superior clones is briefly discussed in the chapters 5, 6 and 7. The chapter 8 and 9 gives an account of various pest and diseases affecting the forest trees and their control measures. The successful vegetative propagation methods developed for the economically important trees is dealt in the chapter 10 and the chapter 11 includes the revolutionary works made through the tissue culture techniques by the induction of genetic variability through somatic hybridisation, induction of mutants and DNA recombinant technology. Thus this book will serve the need of the students and the researchers studying/working in the field of forestry." (jacket).
