Alex Salazar on Mango Breeding (Hybridization) pt 1

Mango breeding or hybridization is a fascinating topic, one that has many pitfalls and challenges and a long history of involvement from professional horticulturalist and backyard growers. Every breeding program is different and as Alex explains different growers will evaluate mangoes differently and perhaps value certain characteristics more than others but in all breeding programs flavor,disease resistance, productivity etc of the cultivar are important considerations. And there are many, many more.
