Abstract

An on-farm participatory varietal selection (PVS) of stress-tolerant varieties (both
submergence and salinity) was held in Bac Lieu Province, South Vietnam to test
adaptability in the locality and acceptability by the farmers. An approach used to
evaluate was preference analysis, where farmers were allowed to set criteria and
select the varieties they most want to grow.
