Source: Asian Agri-History: Drumavichitrikaranam—The Ancient Approach to Plant Mutagenesis(Chemical) Pesticides could be avoided when modern applications adopt practices 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).—Aposematic warning refers to colouration adopted by animals to ward off predators. The use of chemical pesticides could be avoided if plants too can exhibit aposematic colouration. Some of the principles in drumavichitrikaranam can be used to alter the colour of fruits/flowers.
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.
