Fruit Development, Ripening & HarvestWhy can average mango size increase even when individual fruit are growing slowly?
The average can change when small fruit drop or are removed from the group. It then describes a different mixture of survivors, not simply enlargement of the original fruit. Follow identified fruit when studying growth and record losses alongside the measurements. For crop forecasting, update both retained count and average weight instead of treating a rising average size as evidence that total yield has increased.
