🌱 Grafted Brinjal – A Smart Choice for Farmers

Grafted brinjal plants combine a strong, disease-resistant rootstock with a high-yielding brinjal variety. This innovation offers multiple benefits to farmers:

Higher Income: Grafted plants show 30–50% more yield and longer fruiting period, ensuring better market returns with reduced crop loss.

Low Input & Organic Advantage: The strong root system resists wilt, nematodes, and soil-borne diseases, reducing pesticide use and aligning with organic farming practices.

Sustainable Intercropping: Farmers can intercrop grafted brinjal with vegetables or pulses like cowpea or coriander, improving land productivity and soil health.

Climate Resilience: Grafted plants tolerate drought and soil salinity better, providing stability in changing weather conditions.

Grafted brinjal thus supports the organic movement, income diversification, and sustainable agriculture for small and marginal farmers.
