Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingHow should rootstocks be compared for mango planting on alkaline soil?
Document the soil and irrigation-water chemistry, then compare candidates under the same scion and management. A rootstock used successfully in one high-pH region is a useful lead rather than a complete recommendation for another site. Include leaf condition, tissue results, growth, and cropping in the assessment. Nutrient availability problems and root damage should be investigated before attributing a weak tree entirely to its rootstock genotype.
