Source: Asian Agri-History: Drumavichitrikaranam—The Ancient Approach to Plant MutagenesisThe Fortification of plants (with essential vitamins and minerals) refers to one of the modern applications which could benefit from ancient Indian agriculture, which presents a safe technology and methodology regarding organic agriculture and plant mutagenesis (druma-vichitrikaranam), according to treatises (such as the Vrikshayurveda).—Bio-fortification refers to fortification of plants with essential vitamins and minerals, so that these become easily available for human consumption. Bio-fortication can be enhanced by agronomic management by soil and foliar application of fertilizers. Based on the principles of drumavichitrikaranam, organic fertilizers may be formulated to stimulate bio-fortification.

Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
