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.
