Farmer Bunty said that in the same way other trees and plants can also be prepared as hybrids. What is native can be made a hybrid and more fruits can be obtained in less time. If you go to the market to buy this plant, a plant costing Rs 35-40 is sold for Rs 400 to Rs 700.
Vishal Kumar/Chhapra: Young farmers of Chhapra, Bihar are doing much better work in farming with their skills and the help of agricultural scientists. The young farmers here are now preparing hybrid gardens, flowers and plants on their own. Their demand is very high in the market. Bunty Singh, a resident of Karah village under Baniapur block of the district, prepares a better plant by converting the rose flower into a hybrid by himself. Its price becomes very high in the market. The price of roses in the market ranges from Rs 35 to Rs 40. The same flower can be made hybrid and sold for Rs 250 to 300 and people also buy it. Bunty Singh says that the native rose which does not bear flowers is made a hybrid and produces bigger sized flowers from it. Hybrid roses are prepared by split grafting. His skills are discussed among the farmers. Bunty is known for his work.
Bunty Singh told Local 18 that earlier he too used to do normal farming. When he got training from agricultural scientists, he planted crops in his fields using organic methods and got very good yield. He also told that he has been fond of grafting since the beginning. After coming in contact with an agricultural scientist, he also learned grafting. After this he started his work. The native rose which does not produce flowers is made a hybrid by grafting it. Due to this their price increases in the market.
He told that the tree remains of desi rose, while the branch remains of hybrid rose. Both are joined by grafting. In this way hybrid rose is prepared. After grafting, the size of the flower also becomes bigger and more flowers start appearing in the tree. By preparing plants in this way, farmers can earn good income by selling flowers in the market. The plant does not dry up after grafting at this time. The grafting of farmers becomes completely successful.
He said that in the same way other trees and plants can also be prepared as hybrids. What is native can be made a hybrid and more fruits can be obtained in less time. If you go to the market to buy this plant, a plant costing Rs 35-40 is sold for Rs 400 to Rs 700. If farmers make a little effort, they can save that money and prepare hybrid plants by themselves and plant them in their gardens. He told that by preparing plants and flowers in this way, one can also make a nursery and sell the plants and flowers. This will also generate huge income.
Even if you cannot plant a garden, you can take the nursery business forward. In big cities, by preparing hybrids in this way, trees, plants and flowers can be supplied to other states. Farmers can increase their income with this idea. Very few farmers do this kind of work. If you want to earn more then you should do something different, only then you will get recognition along with earning.
