note = "Funding Information: It is imperative that Jatropha be tested in Oman with regard to its suitability for commercial production. In 2008, there were communications between the College of Agricultural & Marine Sciences, Sultan Qaboos University and some Indian Institutions, for example, the National Biodiversity Authority, National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources and the Central Salt & Marine Chemicals Research Institute, Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India, to initiate a collaborative research project. This communication was facilitated by Dr Michael Brett-Crowther, Editor of IJES, who first alerted us to the potential of this useful plant [7–9]. In the first stage, four kilograms of certified seeds were received and a formal SQU funded research project was initiated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of Jatropha plant to grow under different saline and water stress conditions and with/without fertiliser applications.",
