Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is a highly adaptive, short-duration crop that is grown in Korea for food, feed, and fodder. ‘Yeonheechal’ is a variety of proso millet that was developed in 2013. This variety is a cross between Hwanggeumgijang (K263691) and IT297382. In terms of its phenotype, ‘Yeonheechal’ is erect and possesses drooping panicles. Regarding its growth-related outcomes, ‘Yeonheechal’ was found to have a growth period of 90 days. The culm and panicle lengths of this variety were 144 and 33.6 cm, respectively. These structures were both shorter than those of ‘Leebaekchal.’ Additionally, the weight of 1,000 seeds was 5.3 and 4.5 g in terms of husked and dehusked grains, respectively. The husked and dehusked grains were white and yellow, respectively, consisting of a characteristically glutinous endosperm. The yield potential of ‘Yeonheechal’ was approximately 2.67-ton ha-1 in the regional yield trials conducted from 2017 to 2019. The hardness of this variety’s grain was 1,749 gf, making it softer than that of ‘Leebaekchal’ (i.e., 2,158 gf) (Registration number: 9104).

A soybean cultivar, “Seonyu2ho” for double cropping using soy-paste and tofu was developed in 2011 using the pedigree method by crossing “Milyang235ho” and “Jungmo3004ho.” A promising line, YS2441-B-2S-11-3, was selected and named as “Milyang334.” It demonstrated prominent early maturing, shattering resistance, and high yield in regional yield trials (RYTs) from 2017 to 2019, and was released by the name “Seonyu2ho.” The cultivar showed a determinate growth habit, white flowers, grey pubescence, yellow seed coat, yellow hilum, flat-spherical seed shape, and large seed size (27.9 g per 100 seeds). “Seonyu2ho” matured on October 5 (112-growing day cycle) in RYT and was suitable for double cropping with winter crops, such as wheat, barley, and onion. It was resistant to bacterial pustule and soybean mosaic virus and tolerant to lodging in fields. Particularly, “Seonyu2ho” showed a high yield (3.34 ton/ha) and shattering resistance, even if the previously developed early matured cultivars exhibited low yield and easy shattering. Overall, “Seonyu2ho” can contribute to stable soybean production in double cropping.
