Mr. Sateesh
Grafting brinjal and tomato onto a single plant will result in a viable "Brimato" plant capable of producing both crops simultaneously, thereby optimizing space, resources, and yield in small-scale and urban farming systems.
With the increasing demand for space-efficient and sustainable agricultural practices, innovative approaches like grafting are gaining attention. The concept of producing two different crops, brinjal (eggplant) and tomato, on the same plant through grafting—referred to as "Brimato"—offers a unique solution to maximize yield in limited spaces.
Brinjal and tomato belong to the Solanaceae family, making them compatible for grafting. This project aims to develop a successful grafting technique that allows both brinjal and tomato to grow on the same plant. The research will focus on selecting compatible rootstock and scion combinations, optimizing grafting methods, and ensuring the plant's overall health and productivity.
The study will involve controlled experiments to evaluate the growth, flowering, and fruiting patterns of the Brimato plant, comparing it to non-grafted control plants. Factors such as graft union success, disease resistance, and yield will be closely monitored.
The outcome of this research could revolutionize urban farming, home gardening, and commercial agriculture by providing a novel way to produce multiple crops from a single plant, thereby enhancing food security and resource efficiency.
