Abstract
Fifty Vietnamese pumpkin accessions were evaluated for agro-morphological characteristics and fruit quality. The experiment was continuously designed without replication. There was a remarkable variation in expression of leaf and fruit traits such as leaf size, fruit shape, fruit flesh quality. The range of first flowering was 82 - 121 days after growing and the early flowering was observed in Phac deng cham variety (T11497). Co nhum variety (T11505) produced the maximum number of 16 fruits/plot and with highest yield of 12.76 tons/ha. These varieties (Phac deng cham and Co nhum) can be used directly or as good materials for breeding purposes.
