Grafting of brinjals: it requires a grafting knife, polythene strips, Bhijri brinjal mother plant (one to six months old) and scions of improved or other varieties of brinjal. By taking scion from the hybrid variety, grafting can be done successfully in 15 days. No fertilisers but few insecticides are necessary.
