Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingHow should a seed trial distinguish losses during mango embryo separation from losses before emergence?
Count plants immediately before separation, identify which ones were moved, and assess establishment afterward. Record visible handling injuries at transfer. A batch with many emerging siblings but poor survival after separation has a different production problem from a batch that never emerges. Keeping those stages separate directs attention to handling rather than automatically rejecting the seed source.
