Reviving Ancient Agricultural Wisdom: Insights from Surapala’s Vrikshayurveda
Abstract
For decades, modern agricultural practices have prioritized yield enhancement, relying heavily on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. This approach, while successful in the short term, has led to declining soil fertility, environmental degradation, and reduced nutritional quality in crops. India's ancient agricultural treatise, Vrikshayurveda, offers a sustainable alternative. Authored by Surapala, this text embodies the principles of plant life management, emphasizing eco-friendly methods for soil treatment, plant nourishment, and disease control. This article explores the historical roots, methodologies, and contemporary relevance of Vrikshayurveda for sustainable agriculture.
