Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingHow should shelf life be evaluated in a new mango seedling?
Harvest at a defined maturity and follow fruit through a handling sequence relevant to the intended market. Record the end point clearly, such as acceptable eating quality or the onset of unacceptable decay. Keep temperature history and sample variation visible in the results. A fruit that remains hard for a long time is not necessarily a successful selection if it later ripens poorly or develops unacceptable defects.
