ABSTRACT
The main objective of this
study was to evaluate ability of growth and yield of introduced bitter gourd
accessions in winter-spring
2016-2017 in Thua Thien
Hue province. A total of seven accessions were used in this study. Of these, six accessions were provided by the World Vegetable Center (AVRDC), namely, AVRDC 1329, AVRDC 1330, AVRDC 1331, AVRDC 1333, AVRDC
1334, AVRDC 1335 and one Vietnam local accession
(control) from Dien Hai commune, Phong Dien district,
Thua Thien Hue province. The results showed that experiment
accessions can
grow under Thua Thien Hue conditions. AVRDC
1329, AVRDC 1330, and AVRDC 1335 were
considered as displaying good growth and development ability. Of those, AVRDC 1330 was
the most suitable to consumer as regards to appearance and bitter
taste. AVRDC 1330, the control check and AVRDC 1331 had the high actual yield
with 16.57, 10.65 and 7.88 tons/ha, respectively,
and these two introduced
accessions can be used for breeding and cultivation under local condition.
