About the Practice
Detail:

Farmers in Kheda district of Gujarat have devised a simple method of collecting seeds of the brinjal (Solanum melongena), in which seeds are separated from the fruit with the help of a mesh. In this technique, the farmers cut the brinjal fruit vertically into a few pieces and soak it in water for a few days. They then separate the seed from the fruit by straining the soaked brinjals through a mesh. In this method, seed collection of brinjal fruits is made easy by soaking the fruits in water for a few days.
