Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingCan mango root biomass decline before a flooding trial shows an obvious change in shoot length?
Container experiments have found flooding effects on roots and stem growth without equivalent changes in every shoot measurement. This means shoot length alone can miss important injury. Include appropriate root and physiological assessments in specialist screening and follow recovery. A green, similarly tall plant should not be interpreted as proof that its root system tolerated the exposure without cost.
