Making lakhs from ten large-scale farms
The brinjal plant was originally grown by Aadesh Kumar, and then it was chopped off at the top. After leaving its root in the ground, tomato plants were chopped into the form of a pen and placed on top of the brinjal’s root, which was then covered with dirt and cow dung manure. Following this, the tomato’s stem and roots began to develop, and these farmers are now making significant money from growing tomatoes.
