Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingHow can canopy measurements distort mango yield-efficiency comparisons after pruning?
A newly reduced canopy can make yield relative to measured tree size look unusually favorable if the measurement timing differs among treatments. Measure canopy dimensions at a consistent stage and retain pruning dates. Report absolute production beside the efficiency calculation. The ratio should describe comparable trees and periods rather than reward whichever treatment was measured immediately after a size reduction.
