Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhat should be recorded when a mango breeding seedling is culled?
Keep its identifier, pedigree status, evaluation history, date, and the specific reason it was removed. Distinguish poor performance from accidental damage, missing identity, or inadequate space. A brief but explicit culling record makes family comparisons more honest and helps avoid repeating unproductive crosses. It also preserves the meaning of survival statistics instead of leaving later reviewers to assume that every missing tree failed biologically.
