Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingWhy can enlarging a mango crossing program require more skilled labor than enlarging its seedling nursery?
Controlled pollination requires selection of suitable flowers, precise pollen handling, and preservation of cross identity, while only part of the work produces usable offspring. Mango breeding reports describe it as laborious and expensive. Estimate crossing capacity from actual recovered seedlings per unit of work, rather than assuming that available pots and field space determine how many verified hybrids can be produced.
