Source: Asian Agri-History: Drumavichitrikaranam—The Ancient Approach to Plant MutagenesisInsect Pests could be avoided by increasing plant resistance as prescribed by the applications of 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).—[Regarding the topic of Plant Resistance to Insect Pests]—Unlike animals, plants lack a well-developed immune system, whose main feature is memory. However, they are known to release certain volatile compounds in response to a pest attack by warning the neighbouring plants, and by attracting predators of these pests. Using drumavichitrikaranam, the plants could be made to release the volatile compounds constantly to avoid pests.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. 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.
