In Gouripur, Mymensingh, farmer Md. Shahidullah has amazed locals by successfully growing pesticide-free tomatoes during the monsoon through grafting onto wild eggplant plants. This technique, supported by the Department of Agricultural Extension, protects against wilt disease and ensures high yields. Out of 1,000 grafts, 998 succeeded, producing premium tomatoes sold at Tk 180–200 per kg. From a small 10-decimal plot, Shahidullah earned Tk 70,000 from the first harvest and expects up to Tk 45,000 more, drawing nationwide attention from farmers and traders.
