High Yield Castor Bean seeds

Castor Bean (ricinus communis) has been widely accepted as an agricultural solution forall subtropical and tropical locations that adresses the need for commercial crops with lowimpute costs and at the same time provides traditional farming with a viable income from
current non productive lands:

• Castor Bean does not compete with food crops, as Castor Bean can be grown on
marginal lands, which are not competitive with food production lands.
• Castor Bean is not competing with food grade oils.
• It’s toxicity is sensed by animals and therefore not foraged on.
• It is high yielding, yielding as much as 350-650 kg of oil per hectare when no
maintenance is applied to the crop i.e. fertilizers etc, to a high end yield where
annual rainfalls happen at the right times, (1000 liter per hectare).
• It has a very high oil content of approximately 50%.
• The oil seed is collected by hand, by picking the ripe pods from the plant.
• It requires only moderate rainfall (approx. 600mm only) and can withstand long
periods of drought, but will thrive under higher rainfall.
• It is an uncomplicated crop that requires little attention during its growing periods.
• Due to its low demand on soil fertility, it is ideal to replant marginal lands to prevent
desertification and erosion.
Given the simular geographical, climatic and lack of rural employment opportunities,
growing a crop for renewable energy provides the answer for long term prosperity. It is
generally accepted that no matter how much oil seed is produced, there will not be an
over supply for many decades to come.
DOVE BIO TECH has long appreciated both the economic benefits and ecological
benefits of planting Castor Bean (ricinus communis) for bio energy production. Combined
with Dove Bio tech “State of the Art” technologies for Biodiesel and Biog ass, Castor
Bean (ricinus communis) there are both short and long term benefits for a truly
holistic bio energy projects in developing and developed countries in the tropical and
sub tropical belts of the world.
