Explanation:

Since, Brinjal plant is highly vulnerable to pests & diseases. Grafting is a technique of propagation to enhance plant growth by increasing the uptake of nutrients & developing resistance to soil borne diseases with appropriate rootstocks. In the process, After beheading the crest of rootstock, a small cut is made to accommodate the brinjal seedling and then the two are tied with the use of grafting clips / polythene strips. The grafted plant is positioned in a mist chamber for 3 to 5 days before being transferred to shade net. It will take a month-and-a-half to produce brinjal grafts”.
