Source: Asian Agri-History: Drumavichitrikaranam—The Ancient Approach to Plant MutagenesisSalt Water was used in a recipe to destroy trees: 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 destroy trees: Since trees have been traditionally worshipped in India as abodes of various Gods. It is said in the scriptures that trees should be reared just as one would rear one’s own offspring. Killing them incurs sins. Despite these injunctions, methods are described to destroy trees. These include sprinkling extracts of Dolichos biflorus (horse gram), placing a piece of asafoetida at the roots, or sprinkling salt water at the roots.
