Mango FAQ

1 FAQ

Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingDo fresh mango seeds normally require a dormancy-breaking treatment before they can germinate?

Research on fresh mature mango seed found no dormancy, so a difficult batch should not automatically trigger an aggressive dormancy treatment. Investigate viability, temperature, moisture, aeration, and handling first. Keep the distinction between a living seed waiting under unsuitable conditions and a seed that has deteriorated. A treatment cannot be assumed to restore viability lost through drying or injury.
