A perennial brinjal plant is disease resistant and high yielding and cost effective. A perennial brinjal plant which is not fully high yielding, but also resistant to diseases and cost effective and high remunerative, continuous fruit bearer throughout the year was developed. This tree is developed through grafting and keeps bearing throughout the year for many years. Using grafting 2 varieties has been developed.
Link: The plant type (PRK -1 or Karthik Raksha) and has potential to grow to a height of about 15-20 ft. it reach a height of 10' tall bearing heavily and continuously, which is 1 year and 10 months old.
