News from Vietnam. Evaluation of ten 'Smooth Cayenne' and seven 'Queen' pineapple clones under different soil conditions in Vietnam
Two pineapple comparison experiments for yield and fruit characters were conducted for ten 'Smooth Cayenne' and seven 'Queen' clones separately in 2004-2005 in different soils in south Vietnam. In each experiment, a split plot design was followed with locations as the main plot and cultivars as the subplot. Cayenne Thailand performed the best with regard to flowering percentage (95.0%), fruit weight (1607g) and yield (88.8 tonnes ha-1), followed by GF449 and Cayenne Lam Dong (79.0 and 78.5 tonnes ha-1, respectively). 'Smooth Cayenne' clone GF449 had excellent total soluble solids (TSS) with 17.4°Brix) and vitamin C (8.3 mg 100ml-1). 'Queen' clone GU044 was superior for fruit weight (1217g) and yield (74.7 tonnes ha-1), followed by clones RE044 and GF450 (71.4 and 70.4 tonnes ha-1). 'Queen' clone Kien Giang and Ben Luc had high TSS (17.6°Brix) while TA039 had good fruit firmness (1.92 kg cm-2). Pooled data from three locations of each experiment were presented.
