Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhy can the best mango seedling in a large family look less exceptional when retested?
The initial winner may have benefited from unusually favorable fruit, weather, position, or sampling. Retest selected plants with additional crops and comparable reference trees before treating the first ranking as stable. Preserve the original result rather than replacing it. The difference between initial and repeated performance helps distinguish a useful selection from a memorable but unrepresentative observation.
