Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhy must a mango rootstock be evaluated under more than one scion?
A favorable effect beneath one cultivar may weaken, disappear, or change beneath another. Australian work on vigor management has reported scion-specific rootstock responses, making broad claims premature without additional combinations. Design comparisons so each intended scion has its own standard treatment. Report results by combination rather than averaging everything into a single rootstock ranking that can conceal an unsuitable pairing.
