Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingDoes low leaf sodium prove that a mango rootstock experiences little salt stress?
It describes one ion in one tissue, not the complete stress response. Chloride accumulation, root condition, growth, and other nutrient changes may still matter. Mango studies of prolonged salt exposure measure several responses rather than relying on sodium alone. Interpret exclusion results as part of a defined screening profile before describing a rootstock as broadly tolerant.
