Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingCan I identify a maternal mango seedling by keeping the largest sprout?
Size is useful for judging nursery growth, but it is not a dependable genetic identity test. Seedlings can differ in emergence date, access to seed reserves, and damage sustained during separation. If the aim is a vigorous backyard rootstock, select a healthy plant while retaining its uncertain origin on the label. If the aim is a genetically verified maternal line, use an appropriate identity test instead.
