An experiment was establish to identify the nutritional requirements of Jathropha curcas for Nitrogen(N),phosphorus(P),and potassium(K)under field conditions.Jathropha curcas showed positive response to N or P but not to K fertilization alone on a Lipa clay loam soil. Plants fertilized with combinations of P and K or N, P and K also better vegetative growth than those of the control plants. The response of the plant to NPK fertilization will be continuously monitored until maturity for seed production.
