Brimato ( Brinjal 🍆 + Tomato 🍅 ) 😮

Brimato is an interspecifically grafted plant which can yield both Brinjal ( Egg plant) and Tomato in a single plant.

ICAR- IIVR ( Varanasi) completed a successful field demonstration of this plant.
The Grafting operation was carried out when Brinjal seedlings were 25 to 30 days old and Tomato 22 to 25 days old.
The Grafted plants were transplanted in the field 15 to 18 days after the Grafting Operation.
The experimental findings revealed that about 36.0 fruits with 2.383 Kg yields were harvested in Tomato / plant, while in Brinjal 2.684 Kg yields were obtained from 9.2 Fruits / plant.

This technique will be highly useful in urban and suburban areas where space is very limited for planting vegetables.

Thanks to the team
