Ayurveda (science of life)
Agriculture (Krishi) and Vrikshayurveda (study of Plant life)
Source: Asian Agri-History: Drumavichitrikaranam—The Ancient Approach to Plant MutagenesisLemon (identified with Citrus limon) was used in a recipe to accelerate fruit droppings: which was one of the technologies known to ancient Indian agriculturists, which presents a safe technology and methodology regarding organic agriculture, according to treatises (such as the Vrikshayurveda). One such technology was to selectively ripen fruits as well as to delay or accelerate fruit dropping: Harvesting and fruit dropping are critical factors which can alter the shelf-life and the taste of the fruit by the time it reaches the end-user, the customer. [...] A number of queer raw materials such as wet hides of animal, bones of a monkey, ichor (elephant’s rut) and nose bone of elephant have been prescribed in the treatises to delay ripening. In order to accelerate fruit dropping concoctions of Tamarindus indica (tamarind), Ziziphus mauritiana (Indian jujube), Terminalia arjuna (arjuna) and Citrus limon (lemon) are prescribed.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics.
