This study was conducted to evaluate some agro-biological characteristics of 14 domestic and exotic cassava materials in Gia Lam, Hanoi condition, and to evaluate the resistance of the materials through artificial infection experiments by the transplanting method. The material was grown in the field in a sequential experiment without repeating, tracking some agro-biological characteristics. The materials were havested after 8-11 months. The plant height of the materials ranged from 165.2-183.2cm, there are 8 materials with branching height. Most materials have only 1 stem/cluster, CM15, CM21 had 2 stems/cluster and CM60 had 3 stems/cluster. The number of tubers/tree varies from 4.3-15.8 tubers/tree. The highest weight of fresh tubers was obtained CM15 (5.0 kg/tree) and 2 control varieties (5.26-5.82 kg/tree). Using the tranplanting method, evaluated after 2 weeks, 40 successful transplanted trees of 13 materials were evaluated. Genotyping of these transplanted trees was checked by JSP1/JSP2 and JSP1/JSP3 primers detected the presence of ACMV in plants of 8 materials (CM2, CM3, CM8, CM15, CM20, CM60, KM140 and KM94). Assessing the level of infection after 3 months of transplantation, the group of resistant and highly resistant varieties were identified including CM15, CM16, CM21, CM60, CM88, CM50, CM61 and KM94.
