Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingHow should a breeder compare mango families that received unequal amounts of evaluation?
State how many seedlings were grown, how many reached assessment, and how many fruit or seasons were observed. A family sampled more intensively has more opportunities to reveal an exceptional plant or a defect. Compare results at similar evaluation stages where possible. Preserve incomplete families as incomplete rather than treating unobserved performance as either success or failure.
