Manures (composed of fish meal) was used in a recipe to increase the production of trees giving fruits in bunches, 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 increase production, quality and to cause trees to bear fruits/flowers in bunches: With increase in demand, various means have to be devised to increase supply. The yield per tree can be increased by inducing the tree to bear fruits and flowers in bunches. Another factor is to ensure complete fruiting of all flowers. Complete fruiting can be induced by use of fish meal manures to grow mango, tamarind, and champa (Michelia champaca) in bunches. Manures have also been devised to increase the quality of fruits in terms of their aroma and juiciness.
