Western Australia bans Jatropha Curcas Print E-mail
Wednesday, 31 May 2006
Western Australia's Agriculture Protection Board has placed a state-wide ban on two plants being used as sources of biodiesel feedstock.
 
WA claims the Bellyache bush and physic nut (Jatropha Curcas) are both invasive plants, highly toxic to humans and livestock.

Both plants are already on the WA declared plants list, but their status has been upgraded to ban them state-wide. Queensland's cattle industry claims the Bellyache bush in particular is a serious problem.

Jatropha Curcas is a primary feedstock in the biofuels industry, with rapidly expanding plantings in India, Indonesia and Africa.
