Genetic evaluation of Jatropha backcross hybrid clones (BC4F1) for yield and oil quality.

is a tropical species that has been recognized as a promising biodiesel plant. During 2018-2021, researchers at Forest College and Research Institute, Mettupalayam, elicited information on Jatropha's biochemical characteristics, growth performance, variability, and association studies for biometric variables using five backcross (BCF) hybrid clones of Jatropha with a control variety TNMC 7. In terms of seed yield, two hybrid clones, CJH 13 (1,218.
