Source: Shodhganga: Drumavichitrikarnam—Plant mutagenesis in ancient IndiaBoar Marrow (denoted by the Sanskrit term Sūkara/Varāha/Kola Vasā) is used in various bio-organical recipes for plant mutagenesis, according to the Vṛkṣāyurveda by Sūrapāla (1000 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the study of trees and the principles of ancient Indian agriculture.—Accordingly, “Musa paradisiaca trees create wonder by producing pomegranate fruits if fed by water mixed with the urine of a hog and Alangium salviifolium.
