Researchers at the Indian Institute of Vegetable Research have created a grafted plant that can produce both eggplants and tomatoes, potentially increasing yield. The 'Brimato' plant, which can produce up to 2.3 kilograms of tomatoes and 2.64 kilos of eggplants, is resistant to waterlogging and droughts due to the eggplant plant's sturdy roots. The scientists plan to expand this technique to other vegetables. The grafting process takes around 18 days and involves grafting the tomato plant onto the eggplant plant's rootstock.
