Flowering & PollinationIs floral induction the same event as visible mango panicle emergence?
Induction concerns the developmental conditions leading toward reproductive growth, while emergence is when that growth becomes visible. Weather recorded only after panicles appear may miss the earlier period relevant to their formation. Keep shoot and weather observations from before bud expansion when investigating an unusual bloom. This helps avoid attributing flower initiation to a treatment that was applied only after the tree had already begun the process.
