Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingCan closely correlated mango measurements unintentionally dominate a breeding score?
Yes. Fruit width, thickness, and weight can describe related aspects of size, so counting them as independent major rewards may heavily favor that one dimension. Mango association studies quantify correlations among fruit measurements. Choose score components around distinct breeding goals and retain the raw traits. This helps keep a large-fruit preference from silently outweighing texture, flavor, or usable flesh.
