Secita (सेचित) refers to “irrigating” or “feeding the plant” (certain ingredients) according to various bio-organical recipes for plant mutagenesis, according to the Vṛkṣāyurveda by Sūrapāla (1000 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the study of trees and the principles of ancient Indian agriculture.—Accordingly, “Musa paradisiaca trees create wonder by producing pomegranate fruits if fed by water (secita) [pānīyasecitāḥ] mixed with the urine of a hog and Alangium salviifolium. (A word is unintelligible). Ricinus communis tree produced from a seed cultured by the marrow of a boar, treated further by the process in the previous verse, produces Momordica charantia fruits”.
