1) Alangium salviifolium (Oil) was used in the process of organic plant mutagenesis by ancient Indian agriculturists.—The discipline of ancient Indian agriculture presents a safe technology and methodology regarding organic agriculture and organic plant mutagenesis, according to treatises (such as the Vrikshayurveda), which aims to introduce several extraordinary traits into plants and trees, such as [...] to produce flowers and fruits on other species of plants and trees: The term drumavichitrikaranam obtains its true meaning in the literal sense through this objective. Some of them are described in the Upavanavinoda of Śārṅgadhara: [...] The primary mutagenic agent used to achieve most of the transformations is the oil of Alangium salviifolium.

2) Alangium salvifolium was also used in a recipe to enhance sprouting of seeds. The primary raw materials required to induce quick sprouting and fruiting are oil of Alangium salvifolium, coconut water, and the marrow of boar and the Gangetic porpoise. Pomegranate seeds require cock-blood as a special need

Alangium salviifolium (in Sanskrit: Aṅkolha/Aṅkoṭha/Aṅkola) 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 (aṅkolha [=aṅkoṭha?]) [kālānāṃkolhapānīyasecitāḥ]. (A word is unintelligible). Ricinus communis tree produced from a seed cultured by the marrow of a boar, treated further by the process in the previous verse, produces Momordica charantia fruits”.
