Fruit Development, Ripening & HarvestIs floating a mango in water a dependable harvest test?
Floating reflects fruit density, and its usefulness as a maturity indicator varies among mango types and conditions. Do not turn a result observed in one variety into a universal pass-or-fail test. If evaluating the method locally, compare it with cut samples and actual ripening results. Keep the water test separate from your final harvest decision until the relationship has been established.
