    A mango plant grown by grafting is better than seed.

    Explanation:

    A mango plant grown by grafting is better than seed because when a seed is grown in to plant it necessarily may not contain the same characteristics or phenotypes of the parent plant. The phenotype of the new plant depends upon the cross-breeding of the male and female zygotes.

    Grafting of plants will grow into a new plant with exactly the same phenotype of characters of the parent plant, like the fruit quality with color, flesh or pulp quality, number of fruits, time of fruiting, etc.

    Growing a seeding tree by the use of seeds always takes longer than grafting.

    Explanation:

    Seeding is a lengthy and more demanding process of growing fruits as it takes longer for the plants to grow and then even longer for them to actually germinate and become usable.

    It is thus not recommended to use seeds for the growth of mango trees and instead is advised to use the grafts because they are easier to grow.

    The one situation where seeding is more useful and effective is when the cultivator is looking to produce hybrids and doing genetic tinkering in the plants.
