Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingHow can scion source confound a mango rootstock comparison?
If each rootstock receives scions from a different mother tree or collection, scion condition and identity can contribute to the observed difference. Use verified material of the intended scion and distribute collections across rootstock treatments where practical. Retain source information through grafting. Otherwise the trial compares particular batches of grafted trees without clearly isolating the rootstock contribution.
