Jatropha has the potential to be developed as biofuel, because of its high seed oil content. The seeds contain up to 35% oil which are convert into biodiesel easily. Superior plant materials had been produced through the composite selection (IP-1 to IP-3), were only able to express the potential yield on land that was in optimal conditions. On the contrary, land available for jatropha development, generally, in the form of dry land with limited water availability. Development of Jatropha in large scale in dryland require plant material with high productivity and able to adapt to drought conditions. In an effort to maintain the stability of jatropha production in dry land, it can be done through grafting technology by combining the advantages of prospective shoot section which has a high yield potential as a scion and rootstock candidates from plant material that is able to adapt to limited water availability. The activity had been carried out viz adaptability study of jatropha rootstock candidates associated with drought stress in glasshouse. The results of the study showed there were three jatropha rootstocks (IP-3M, Sulawesi 117 dan Jatim 045) those were tolerant to drought stress. Key word: Jatropha, drought stress, productivity
