In the research and development of coffee trees in Vietnam, particularly breeding is one of the most important activities and always prioritized by the Government. Since 1976, the Western Highlands Agriculture and Forestry Science Institute (WASI, former Coffee Research Institute), has invested a lot of efforts in selecting and creating new coffee varieties with good characteristics, namely high yield and big-sized beans, that have contributed to the enormous coffee development, especially to Robusta coffee. During 40 years, WASI has created and made them recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development with total 11 Robusta varieties. Of which, TR4, TR9, and TR11 are largely used in the cultivation in the Central Highlands, TR14 and TR15 are very promising to adapt to new challenge of climate change, and TRS1 is a good solution for quick seedling supplyies for the replanting program. These new varieties are highly recommended for the coffee development program till 2020 and in the coming years. | LIFE SCIENCES AGRICULTURE Research results on robusta coffee breeding in Vietnam Viet Ha Phan Western Highlands Agriculture and Forestry Science Institute Received 28 May 2017 accepted 25 Novenber 2017 Abstract In the research and development of coffee trees in Vietnam particularly breeding is one of the most important activities and always prioritized by the Government.

Classification number Background During the last 40 years a number of research projects have been done by the Western Highlands Agriculture and Forestry Science Institute and it has selected 11 new Robusta clones for coffee replanting in the Central Highlands s provinces of Vietnam. These new varieties especially the three normal ripening clones TR4 TR9 and TR11 and the two late ripening ones TR14 and TR15 have much higher yield and bean quality potentials compared to those of old cultivars 1 . The late ripening clones not only offer good characteristics such as high yield and good bean quality but also allow a delay of the first irrigation timing in the middle of dry season thus we can save one .
