About Brinjal
Brinjal (Eggplant) is an incredibly productive, heat-loving vegetable perfect for UP terraces. Because it is a heavy feeder and bears large fruits over many months, it requires a spacious 15 to 18-inch bag. High-yielding F1 hybrids resist the devastating shoot and fruit borer better than local types.
