Orchard & Commercial GrowingWhy does the growth stage matter in a commercial mango deficit-irrigation trial?
A water reduction during one stage can affect the crop differently from the same reduction during another. Mango experiments distinguish flowering, fruit expansion, and maturation when evaluating deficit strategies. Define the stage and actual plant response before scaling a trial. A favorable result late in fruit development is not evidence that the entire season can tolerate the same restriction.
