Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhy should a mango salt-tolerance screen include plants receiving suitable comparison water?
A comparison under suitable water helps show how each candidate grows without the tested saline exposure. Otherwise naturally slow growth can be confused with a treatment response. Keep container, scion, and handling conditions comparable and interpret growth alongside tissue measurements. The screen can identify candidates for further evaluation, but its conclusion remains tied to the exposure actually tested.
