Fruit Development, Ripening & HarvestCan a thinning treatment produce larger mangoes but a less useful crop?
Larger size is only one outcome. A mango thinning experiment found that large fruit could also be prone to physiological problems, illustrating why size gains need internal-quality assessment. Compare acceptable fruit yield and defect frequency as well as average weight. Keep the unthinned comparison through ripening so a treatment is judged on the usable crop it delivers, not solely on its most impressive individual mangoes.
