Grafting in brinjal (Egg plant) that gives more yield

ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯವಾಗಿ ತರಕಾರಿ ಬೆಳೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಕಸಿ ಕಟ್ಟುವುದು ಕಡಿಮೆ ಎಂದೇ ಹೇಳಬಹುದು. ಆದರೆ ರಾಮನಗರದ ಜೆ. ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್ ಒಂದೇ ಗಿಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಎರಡು ಜಾತಿಯ ನಾಟಿ ಬದನೆ ಕಸಿ ಕಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಇಳುವರಿ ಪಡೆಯಲು ಕಸಿ ಗಿಡದಿಂದ ಸಾಧ್ಯವೆಂದು ತೋರಿಸಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಆಸಕ್ತಿ, ಪರಿಶ್ರಮ ಮತ್ತು ಛಲ ಇದ್ದರೆ ಏನು ಬೇಕಾದರೂ ಸಾಧನೆ ಮಾಡಬಹುದು ಎಂಬುದಕ್ಕೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್ ಅವರ ಈ ಕೆಲಸವೇ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ. ಅವರಿಗೆ ಮೊದಲಿನಿಂದಲೂ ಗಿಡ-ಮರಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಪ್ರೀತಿ. ಕೃಷಿ ಕುಟುಂಬದ ಹಿನ್ನೆಲೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಬೆಳೆದಿದ್ದು ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಕಾರಣ. ಆದರೆ ಇದರ ಜತೆಯಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಕಸಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಬೋನ್ಸಾಯ್ ಮಾಡುವುದು ಇವರ ಮೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಹವ್ಯಾಸ.
 
ತೋಟಗಾರಿಕೆ ಬೆಳೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಕಸಿ ಮತ್ತು ಬೋನ್ಸಾಯ್ ಮಾಡುವುದರಲ್ಲಿ ಪರಿಣತಿ ಪಡೆದಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಮನೆಯ ಮುಂದಿನ ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಜಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದೇ ಬದನೆ ಗಿಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಲವಾರು ನಾಟಿ ಬದನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕಸಿ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಅವರು 1997ರಲ್ಲಿ ಲಾಲ್‌ಬಾಗ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಕಸಿ ಮತ್ತು ಬೋನ್ಸಾಯ್ ಮಾಡುವ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಲಾಖೆ ವತಿಯಿಂದ ತರಬೇತಿ ಪಡೆದರು. ಅದೇ ಜ್ಞಾನ ಬಳಸಿಕೊಂಡು ವಿವಿಧ ಬೆಳೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಕಸಿ ಕಟ್ಟಲು ಪ್ರಾರಂಭಿಸಿದರು. ಆಗ ಒಂದೇ ಬದನೆ ಗಿಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಲವಾರು ಜಾತಿಯ ನಾಟಿ ಬದನೆಯನ್ನು ಕಸಿ ಕಟ್ಟಿದ್ದು ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಓದಿದ್ದರಂತೆ. ಆಗಿನಿಂದಲೇ ಅವರ ಮನಸ್ಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಬದನೆ ಕಸಿ ಕಟ್ಟುವ ಆಸೆ ಗರಿ ಮೂಡಿತು.

ಅವರ ಸಂಶೋಧನಾ ಗುಣವೂ ಈ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನೆರವಿಗೆ ಬಂತು. ಕಸಿ ಕಟ್ಟಲಿಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾಡಲ್ಲಿ ಅಥವಾ ರಸ್ತೆ ಪಕ್ಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆಳೆಯುವ ಗುಳಸುಂಡೆ ಬದನೆಯ ಸ್ಟಾಕ್ (ತಳ ಗಿಡ) ಆಯ್ಕೆ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡರು. ಗುಳಸುಂಡೆ ವಿಶೇಷ ಗುಣ ಹೊಂದಿದೆ.
 
ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಬರ ತಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಶಕ್ತಿ ಇದೆ. ಸುಮಾರು ಐದರಿಂದ ಆರು ವರ್ಷ ಕಾಯಿ ಕೊಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಇದನ್ನು ಹಳ್ಳಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತರಕಾರಿ ರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಳಸುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಮನೆಮದ್ದಾಗಿಯೂ ಗುಳಸುಂಡೆ ಕಾಯಿ ಮತ್ತು ಹಣ್ಣು ಬಳಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಮನೆ ಮುಂದಿನ ಜಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಗುಳಸುಂಡೆ ಬದನೆ ಗಿಡಕ್ಕೆ ನೀಲಿ ಈರಂಗೇರೆ ಹಾಗು ಕೊತ್ತಿತಲೆ ಬದನೆಯನ್ನು ಕಸಿ ಮಾಡಿದರು.

ಕಸಿ ಹೇಗೆ?
ಅವರ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಕಸಿ ಮಾಡುವುದು ಹೇಗೆ ಎಂದರೆ, ಮೊದಲು ಸಾಧಾರಣ ಗುಳಸುಂಡೆ ಗಿಡವನ್ನು ನಾಟಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು. ಸುಮಾರು ಹತ್ತು ದಿವಸದ ನಂತರ ನಮಗೆ ಬೇಕಾದ ತಳಿಯ ಕಡ್ಡಿಯನ್ನು ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಸಿ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು. ಹಾಗೆ ಎರಡು ತಿಂಗಳು ಕಸಿ ಕಟ್ಟಿದ ಗಿಡವನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸಿದರೆ ಪ್ರತಿ ತಿಂಗಳೂ ಸರಾಸರಿ 8 ರಿಂದ 12 ಕಿಲೊ ಬದನೆ ಬರುತ್ತದೆ. ಅದೇ ಗಿಡ ಸುಮಾರು ಐದು ವರ್ಷದವರೆಗೂ ಕಾಯಿ ಬಿಡುತ್ತದೆ.

ಅವರ ಅನುಭವದ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೇಳುವುದಾದರೆ ಒಂದು ಮನೆಗೆ ಒಂದು ಕಸಿ ಮಾಡಿದ ಬದನೆಯನ್ನು ನಾಟಿ ಮಾಡಿದರೆ ಆ ಮನೆಗೆ ಬೇಕಾಗುವಷ್ಟು ಕಾಯಿ ಸಿಗುತ್ತವೆ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಅವರು ಅನೇಕ ವರ್ಷದಿಂದ ತಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಗೆ ಯಾವತ್ತೂ ಬದನೆಕಾಯಿ ಖರೀದಿಸಿಲ್ಲ. ಅವರೇ ಹಲವಾರು ಮನೆಗೆ ಉಚಿತವಾಗಿ ಬದನೆಯನ್ನು ಹಂಚಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಕಸಿ ಮಾಡಿದ ಸಸಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹೊಲದಲ್ಲಿ ನಾಟಿ ಮಾಡಿದರೆ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಪ್ರಮಾಣದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿರಂತರ ಇಳುವರಿ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬಹುದು. ಐದು ವರ್ಷದವರೆಗೂ ಅದೇ ಸಸಿಯನ್ನು ಪೋಷಣೆ ಮಾಡಬಹುದು. ಒಂದೊಂದು ಗಿಡದಿಂದ ವರ್ಷಕ್ಕೆ ಸರಾಸರಿ 60 ರಿಂದ 70 ಕಿಲೊ ಬದನೆ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬಹುದು. 

ಅಂದರೆ ಐದು ವರ್ಷಕ್ಕೆ 300 ರಿಂದ 350 ಕಿಲೊ ಇಳುವರಿ ಒಂದೇ ಗಿಡದಿಂದ ಬರುತ್ತದೆ. ಕಸಿ ಗಿಡದಿಂದ ಬೆಳೆದ ಬೀಜಗಳು ಸರಿಯಾಗು ಹುಟ್ಟುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಹಾಗಾಗಿ ಬೀಜೋತ್ಪಾದನಗೆ ಕಸಿ ಗಿಡಗಳು ಯೋಗ್ಯವಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಲು ಅವರು ಮರೆಯುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.

ಅವರು ಅದೇ ಗುಳಸುಂಡೆ ಬದನೆ ಗಿಡಕ್ಕೆ ಟೊಮೆಟೊವನ್ನು ಕಸಿ ಕಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅದರಿಂದ ಇಳುವರಿಯನ್ನೂ ಕಂಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ ಕಸಿ ಮಾಡಿದ ಟೊಮೊಟೊ ಗಿಡ ಕೇವಲ ಆರು ತಿಂಗಳು ಬೆಳೆಯುತ್ತದೆ.

ಇದರ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು- ಮೈಸೂರು ರಸ್ತೆಯ ಕೆಂಗಲ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಇರುವ ತೋಟಗಾರಿಕೆ ಇಲಾಖೆ ಫಾರಂನಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದೇ ಮಾವಿನ ಮರಕ್ಕೆ ಬಾದಾಮಿ, ತೋತಾಪುರಿ, ಮಲ್ಲಿಕಾ, ರಸಪುರಿ, ಬೇನಿಷಾ ಹಾಗೂ ನೀಲಂ ಜಾತಿಯ ಮಾವನ್ನು ಕಸಿ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರ ಹತ್ತಿರ 12 ವರ್ಷದ ಆಲದ ಬೋನ್ಸಾಯ್ (ಕುಬ್ಜ) ಗಿಡವಿದೆ. ಈಚೆಗೆ ಕೆಂಗಲ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಪುಷ್ಪಮೇಳದಲ್ಲಿ ಅದನ್ನು ನಾಗರಿಕರೊಬ್ಬರು 15 ಸಾವಿರ ರೂಪಾಯಿಗೆ  ಕೇಳಿದ್ದರಂತೆ.
 
ಆದರೆ ಇವರು ಅದರ ಮೇಲೆ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ಇರುವುದರಿಂದ ಮಾರಿಲ್ಲ. ಇವುಗಳ ಜೊತೆ 6 ವರ್ಷದ ಅರಳೆ ಹಾಗು ಇನ್ನಿತರ ಆಲಂಕಾರಿಕ ಸಸಿಗಳನ್ನು ಬೋನ್ಸಾಯ್ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ಅವರಿಗೆ ಮಾವು, ಸಪೋಟ, ಬದನೆ, ಚಕ್ಕೋತ, ನಿಂಬೆ, ಗುಲಾಬಿ, ಕ್ರೋಟಾನ್, ಬೇಲ, ನೆಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಗು ದಾಳಿಂಬೆ ಗಿಡಗಳಿಗೆ ಕಸಿ ಮಾಡಿದ ಅನುಭವವಿದೆ. ಅವರ ಹತ್ತಿರ ಕಸಿ ಕಟ್ಟಿದ ಬದನೆ ಗಿಡಗಳು ಕೂಡ ದೊರೆಯುತ್ತವೆ.

‎10000 times stronger killer of CANCER than Chemo

‎"10000 times stronger killer of CANCER than Chemo".. do share it.. can save many lives, fill up hopes and build confidence in the patients...

The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo.Why are we not aware of this? Its because some big corporation want to make back their money spent on years of research by trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale.

So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from time to time. The taste is not bad after all. It’s completely natural and definitely has no side effects. If you have the space, plant one in your garden.

The other parts of the tree are also useful. The next time you have a fruit juice, ask for a sour sop. How many people died in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree? This tree is low and is called graviola ! in Brazi l, guanabana in Spanish and has the uninspiring name soursop” in English. The fruit is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.

The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects. Although it is effective for a number of medical conditions, it is its anti tumor effect that is of most interest. This plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types.

Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression, stress and nervous disorders.

If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans like you, it’s the incredible story behind the Graviola tree.. The truth is stunningly simple: Deep within the Amazon Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor, and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival. The future has never looked more promising. Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:

* Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss

* Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections

* Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment

* Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life

The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America ‘s largest drug manufacturers, th! e fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970′s! What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing… Extracts from the tree were shown to:

* Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer..

* The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!

* What’s more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectivelyhunts

down and kills only cancer cells.. It does not harm healthy cells!

The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively researched–so why haven’t you heard anything about it? If Graviola extract is One of America ‘s biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.

Various parts of the Graviola tree–including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds–have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indi! ans in S outh America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis. Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree’s anti-cancerous properties–and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo. But that’s where the Graviola story nearly ended. The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree–it’s completely natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There’s no way to make serious profits from it. It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to synthesize two of the Graviola tree’s most powerful anti-cancer ingredients. If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent, they’d be able to patent it and make their money back. Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated. There was no way the company could protect its profits–or even make back the millions it poured into research.

As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt. Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!

Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team whose conscience wouldn’t let him see such atrocity committed. Risking his career, he contacted a company that’s dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest and blew the whistle.

Miracle unleashed, When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of Graviola,! they be gan tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree. Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola–and its shocking cover-up–came in fast and furious….

….The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976. The results showed that Graviola’s “leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells.” Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public…

Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, yet no double-blind clinical trials–the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a treatment’s value–were ever initiated….

….A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at “10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin…”

….The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched. Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

…A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers…. Seven years of silence broken–it’s finally here!
