Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhy retain rejected fruit when summarizing quality in a mango breeding trial?
Record its number and rejection reasons even when it cannot enter a normal tasting. Describing only attractive, sound samples hides the proportion of the crop that failed the intended use. Keep analytical or sensory results for acceptable fruit alongside the overall usable fraction. This connects eating quality with the practical amount of satisfactory fruit a selection actually provides.
