A Vietnamese-language paper with an English abstract evaluated 30 newly collected taro accessions and the check variety KS5 for 14 quantitative traits, taro leaf blight resistance and six quality traits. Selection with the MGIDI index at 20% selection pressure identified five accessions (KSV13, KSV16, KSV3, KSV28 and KSV8) with high yield (18.49–19.58 t/ha) and leaf blight resistance, as breeding material for northern Vietnam.
