Kemiri Reutealis Trisperma can grow and good produce until the height of 1000 m above sea level. Kemiri Reutalis Trisperma could reach 15 feet or more, with canopy width and lush leaf and diameter stem over 60 cm and can reach the age of 75 years and is still productive. Climatic conditions are optimal for growth is at a temperature of 18.7 to 26.2 C and pH 5.4 to 7.1. These plants grow naturally in West Java. Kemiri Reutealis Trisperma seed production potential age > 10 years, can reach 250 kg seeds / tree / year, even greater (300-400 kg / tree / year). If the population of plants 100 trees / ha, with an average production of 250 kg seeds / tree / year, you will get 25 tons of grain, equivalent to 9805 liter Minyak Kasar Kemiri Reutealis Trisperma (MKKRT) include 8695 kg Bungkil Kemiri Reutalis Trisperma (BKRT) which can be used as an ingredient for making briquettes, biogas, fertilizers and animal feed.
Kemiri Reutealis Trisperma Oil comprising composition with 10% palmitic acid, 9% stearic acid, oleic acid 12%, linoleic acid 19% and eleostearic acid 51% which are toxic, so it can not be consumed. The dominant fatty acid content Kemiri Reutealis Trisperma is eleostearic acid that can be processed into an anti-karsinogenic substance very useful in the pharmaceutical.
Kemiri Reutealis Trisperma oils can be classified as dry, so it can be processed into drying paint oil. While the rest of the extraction of a meal containing Nitrogen 6%, Potassium 1.7 % and phosphorus 0.5% so it can be used as fertilizer. Besides it can be processed into biogas, from 3 kg of meal obtained 1.5 m3 of biogas equivalent of 1 liter of kerosene.
