AbstractIn 2014, a mung bean cultivar, Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek ‘Dado’, was derived from a hybrid between ‘Jeonnam14’ and ‘IT208777’ developed in 2001 at the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services, South Korea. ‘Dado’ has an erect growth habit, lobed leaflets, green hypocotyls, light yellow corolla, and dull green seed surface. The number of pods per plant was 23.3, 1.5 more than that of the control cultivar ‘Owool’, and the 1000-seed weight was 43 g, 6 g lighter than that of the control. ‘Dado’ and ‘Owool’ exhibited similar field resistance to mung bean mottle virus, cercospora leaf spot, powdery mildew, and lodging. ‘Dado’ had a sprout yield ratio of 824%, 132% higher than that of ‘Owool’, and its hard seed rate was 1.2%, 3.1% lower than that of the control. The average seed yield of ‘Dado’ was 1.9 ton/ha, which was 23% greater than that of ‘Owool’ (Registration No. 5874).
