Explanation:
Aryakrishak Mohan Shankar Deshpande extracted the agricultural practices from ancient Indian texts to devise a method of farming, which has helped more than four lakh farmers reap bumper crops.
Since the beginning of recorded time, India has grown its own food without chemicals and without fertilizers, using just the laws of nature and the beautiful products of plants and animals to aid soil fertility and crop immunity. In the 21st century we are once again going back to our roots and Organic Farming is gaining momentum once again. Here’s a sneak-peek into the treasure trove of ancient Indian agricultural sciences,
Agriculture, krishi, finds extensive mention in many vedic texts such as Krishi Parashara, Kautilya’s Artha-shastra, the Sangam literature of early Tamils, Manusmriti, Varāhamihira’s Brhat-Samhita, Amarakosha, Kashyapiya- Krishisukti, and Surapala’s Vrikshayurveda. These texts provide information about agriculture, horticulture, arboriculture and plant biodiversity.
Forests were considered very important in the ancient times. In the vedic age, protection of forests was emphasized for ecological balance (Nene and Sadhale, 1997). In the Artha-shastra (321–296 BC) Kautilya mentions that the superintendent of forests had to collect forest produce through the forest guards.

In Krishi Parashara (c. 400 BC), Parashara details techniques of forecasting rain, the main technique being based on the positions of the Moon and the Sun in the sky. Varāhamihira (505–587 AD) in his Brhat-Samhita considered lunar mansions in predicting seasonal rainfall
