In the years since, it seems, because of other competing commercial interests and banning of cannabis, the shorter cousin of hemp under false propaganda perhaps with a motive of profit for some, this plant too is not as widely used. Now that it has been discovered through modern science that the propaganda was false its re-legalization has begun in the world, various countries where climate is suitable for its growth must re-examine this crop. It may turn to be a highly profitable and useful crop because of its use for bio-fuels, food, fodder and paper pulp. Hemp does not contain as much of  intoxicating chemicals that cannabis does. Hemp produces most biomass of any crop, which is why it is a natural choice for an energy crop. Hemp converts Sun’s energy into cellulose faster than any other plant, thro...

A mix of Ben oil produced by the drumstick trees and ethyl alcohol from molasses, corn or other sources appears to be a promising bio-fuel  for the future of mankind when it runs out of fossil fuels, for use in internal combustion engines. More research on Benoline is encouraged by researchers working on bio fuels.  It has been named Benoline by the author, feel free to use the term, just credit this blog please. More on the drumstick tree can be found here: http://someitemshave.blogspot.in/2013/08/tree-of-life-moringa-or-drumstick.html The best way to obtain Ben oil is from forestry plantations of drumstick that are very easy to develop on arid lands of the warmer parts of the planet. However in order to maintain bio-diversity and soil health such forests are best mixed with other food producing trees such as mulberry to the extent of about 33 percent. These forests would then not only yield bio fuel but also food. The potential of such plantations to imp...
