Crop Grafting Benefit: Farmers are using new techniques for higher yields. Farmers try to get more yield in less space with less cost. Grafting is one such technique. With this many types of crops can be grown on one plant. Its advantage is that it does not require much space to grow crops and does not require much water for irrigation or pesticides for different plants. Himachal’s farmer has done wonders through this technique. He got bumper yields in the whole room. Others are also taking inspiration from the farmer.
