The effect of plant spacing significantly
affected the number of leaves of Jatropha in 2009
season only (Table 2). The use of 1m between plants
produced the highest number of leaves. It was
followed by 2m and lowest was recorded when 3m
plant spacing was used. The interaction between
fertilizer and plant spacing on number of leaves was
not significant. The leaf area of Jatropha was also
significantly affected by fertilizer and plant spacing
in all the years of the experiment (Table 3). The
application of 350kg NPK/ha produced significantly
